Russell Arnold has just said, "A draw will be a win from here..."

Just one day into the series and 3-0 forgotten?#SLvInd #SLvsInd

Pujara stands like a rock oblivious to turmoil around him. In words of Frank Underwood, hears nothing, absorbs nothing, nothing breaks him.

Pujara set to get Dhawan's double and his own too.#SLvIND

Looks like Sri Lanka will be struggling to complete their 90 overs even after taking that 30-minute extension.#SLvInd

Cheteshwar Pujara, with 12 Test hundreds now, is a real disservice to arrogance#SLvIND

India's best Test batsman on Asian soil at present.. can't remember Cheteshwar Pujara faring poorly even in one Test series in Asia #IndvsSL

Kohli had no issues against short pitch stuff on Star Sports. I blame anti national Sony for this newfound bouncer problem. #SLvInd

Kohli out cheaply, just like Kumble, recently.#SLvIND
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) July 26, 2017
15:20 (IST)26 JUL 2017
Unlike his issue outside off, Kohli doesn't really have a problem with bumpers. It is perhaps more to do with shot selection.

There was definitely something coming off Kohli's bat. Surprised he didn't spot it the first time.#SLvIND #SLvsInd

Dhawan's great gift is his instinctive ability to find gaps. Will do well to control that occasional rush of blood to go over the top.

If life gives you another chance, grab it like Dhawan. Bossed his way to his highest Test score... #SLvInd

What a way to get out, Shikhar. Probably the only way.

Effort-less bowling from Sri Lankan bowlers
14:28 (IST)26 JUL 2017
Remember Sehwag and Gambhir scoring 408 in a day against Sri Lanka at Kanpur in 2009. But that was against much better bowling.

Flat pitch, flat bowling, and Test runs have rarely come easier. If Dhawan has the patience, a 300 is there for the taking. #IndvsSL

Shades of Dhawan on debut vs Aus this. Assisted by some listless bowling from Sri Lanka. This could be a long series for the Islanders.

Short wide, low full toss, too straight, non-threatening bumpers... you feel for Herath.
