India vs Sri Lanka 2017: 2nd Test day 2, 5 talking points

#2 Saha and Jadeja slam half-centuries to pile.on the wound

Jadeja slammed an unbeaten 70 off 85 balls

By the second session of Day 2, India were firmly in the driver's seat and well on their way to another 600+ total, their sixth since December 2016. There was enough leeway for the likes of Saha and Jadeja to express themselves, which they did with aplomb. Saha slammed a half-century at a strike rate of 50 while Jadeja, sporting a Rustom style look, took to the pitch fired up and smoked an 85 ball 70.

There was little Lanka could do to halt the Indian juggernaut as one after the other batsmen slaked in and scored half-centuries. Jadeja's half-century took India's tally of players with half-centuries in the series to 10. He looked well set for a maiden hundred but Kohli was happy to give him the cherry sooner as he declared with India still a wicket away from being bowled out.
