A century would have made Kohli equal Alastair Cook' record of 5 100s in first 5 tests as captain. He has one more inning to do that though.

WICKET! Virat Kohli goes after a well made 78. Great diving catch by Angelo Mathews though. India 176/3.

Looks like a dropped catch is proving expensive again........#IndvsSL. Story of the last couple of months....

Fifty comes for India as Rahul-Kohli have provided some kind of stability to the Indian innings after losing 2 early wickets for just 12 runs.

Indian captain Virat Kohli comes in at number 4. Looks like Rohit Sharma is going to bat at number 5.

WICKET! A Rahane departs as well. India in trouble. 12/2
