Sri lanka not looking good at all to take this series. 209/2 in 60 overs isn't a bad score but it's surely not enough, there are times when india has choked up series against other teams but this is surely a one sided game for india. I feel sad for sri lanka, they used to be one of the top teams but now that time is gone and they have started to lose their matches in home also.

Indian players are playing wonderfully and Sri Lanka trailing by 230 runs now. If they manage to score at least 400 more by tomorrow evening then Sri Lanka may get a chance to win this match or they may try to draw this one.

SL is not in a position to win this match but if possible they should only try to draw the test match. But by looking at current situation even drawing test match also not possible. SL need another 230 runs to match India's first innings total and got only 8 wickets. I don't think they even score another 230 runs unless some batsman really plays well. It is going to be a big win for India.

With 2 full days to go, it definitely will be tough for Sri Lanka to draw this match. Mendis has scored a quick century and Karunaratne is closing in one one too. They need a 200+ partnership to try and save this one.

It will be tough but at present SL only trail by 200 runs and have 8 wickets in hand. If they can bat today whole day will have a lead of 150 runs approx and 100 runs tomorrow somehow they can manage to put a total of 250 runs for India to chase in fourth inning . This will put back pressure on India because batting on last day will be difficult and winning will be more important for them so they may lose quick wickets too and give SL outside chance to win the match as well.

What you are telling is not possible because if this partnership is broken then we can see wickets coming very soon so i think even if Sri Lanka give a lead then also India will chase it and win it.

England bowling is going good and as usual South Africa team losing wickets and not able to score it.

The partnership is broken, and you are right after breaking this partnership SL lost 2 more wickets now the score is 302/4. The captain got out for just 2 runs. But Dimuth Karunaratne is still batting and started to build a partnership with Angelo Mathews if these two pairs make one more big partnership, then this match will be interesting. I think India will win this match.

I don't see that happening, it will be a miracle of SL can give India 250 target from this position. And even if they do, I don't think they have the bowling to trouble this Indian batting line up.
Its a pity to see the mighty Lankans like this at home, I think it will be many years now before they will be able to bounce back to competitiveness with top teams post Sanga era.

SL has performed a lot better in the second innings,might be the pitch is not helping the bowlers now and if that is the case even if they score 400 more runs ,they will find it difficult to take the Indian wickets as they have a pretty good batting line up and with a pitch that does not offer anything will be a paradise of these batsmen.

I'm sure Virat will choose to again bat and put up more 200 runs but it's of no use when the other team cannot even get 250 runs in the first innings. Let them follow and try to get 439 runs and then play again if they manage to get those runs (which I doubt they would). No point of delaying the match result till the last day. The MOM is definitely Ashwin as he took 5 wickets in this innings.

India has not opted to bat instead they have given follow on to SL and they have started very well. They are now 300 runs behind with 9 wickets in hand. They may put some fighting total if they can bat for another day. Will need to wait and see that will India have to bat in second inning or they will e=win by an inning and some runs.

I am glad that finally Virat took the right decision of a follow-on instead of making the batsmen again make a grand total when the other team are lacking behind by too many runs. Now it's 252 and I too feel they would be able to chase it down and leave 50-100 more runs for the Indian team to make. With 2 more days left, they have enough time to chase it down.

Creditable performance by Sri Lanka in the second innings, although I think they will still lose. If India cannot win with a lead of 450+, then they cannot win at all. Once Kusal Mendis' wicket falls, Sri Lankan wickets might fall in a heap.

Yes, Virat should choose to apply follow on, I too don't think Sri Lankans will be able to make a big score and it's a good chance for India to win by a margin and an innings.

It was an easy decision to make for Kohli to impose the follow on. If the lead was in the range of 200-300 runs, then it is a careful decision for the captain to make. When you have a 439 run lead, impose the follow on and wrap up the match quickly.

Decisions are never that easy to make and being the captain, it puts more pressure on you to make the right call. In this case, Sri Lanka's batting performance has been lack luster and given that the pitch is going to remain the same for the remaining part of the next few days, SL can post a huge total in the follow on innings. Given that what I'm saying actually happens, it's going be really hard to chase anything beyond 200-250 in the 4th innings because we all know how lethal 4th innings chases can be.

after the retirement of Sangakkara and Mahela Sri Lanka never been performed as their standard consistently. they really are missing the dues service in the test format.basically, Sri Lanka now facing the shortage of consistent player. on the other hand, India has plenty of players who are really capable to lead the team at any moment. that is the main reason of the differences of this test match.

SL are all out now with a huge deficit of 439 runs. We will have to wait and see if India gives them follow on or will bat in their second innings. This is a huge lead for India in fact now almost SL have lost this test match unless some body makes double century from their team.

I think it's a wonderful score against any team in a test match on the first day. If Indian batsmans could have played a little faster then they could have reached 400. The match will get interesting if Sri Lankan bowlers can all out India before lunch tomorrow.

Little faster? Are you kidding me? I think you haven't checked the net run rate of the match India are already scoring above net run rate of 4 which is outstanding when it comes to an test match or you want them to play T20 in test match?

Yes probably they haven't check run rate.
I guess India is going to win by huge margin and by an innings too as Sri Lanka is struggling too much against Indian spinners. I guess at least this time India will enforce follow on. So, that they can win big unlike first test match of this series.

India is clearly on top in this match, the only option for srilanka is to bat out the three days, which I don't see happening. They have already lost 2 wickets in one session and i think they will be all out by tomorrow and India will force the follow on.

On the other hand the England vs South Africa match is well balanced IMO, if england can reach around 330-350 from here they will have the upper hand in the match. My bets are on England and India.

Sri Lanka now trailing by 543 runs with 6 wickets remaining in the 1st innings. SL batting performance is really very bad even though they are playing on home ground. They should concentrate on building good partnerships which will increase their confidence level. But by looking at their current SL performance, it will be an easy win for the Indian team in this test match as well.

I think England can add another 100 runs to the total then it will be good decent total to defend. SA should need to pick up those remaining wicket as early as possible to put pressure on England team.
