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.

Yes, Ashwin will be a major threat to Sri Lanka tomorrow. India have a massive first innings score and that is likely to exert pressure as well.
Sri Lanka need a very good partnership to wriggle out of this one.
Srilanka created a spinning wicket against a team who had world class spinners and that is the only thing Srilanka could do to counter the Indian batsmen but when they failed to tackle the Indian batsmen the Indian spinners will play a major role in this match as they could roll out the Srilankan players with the pitch they made.I expect India to win the match without much hurdle. Sri Lanka need a very good partnership to wriggle out of this one.
Watching R. Ashwin bowl like that, I'm feeling that Indians will all out Sri Lanka before tomorrow day end. Wonderful batting today by middle and tail enders of India. Sri Lanka needs strong partnership otherwise it's gone.

If in first session India is able to take 2-3 quick wickets then India will be on top of this test match. India needs to quickly takes wicket so that it will add more pressure on the coming batsman they they have to chase 600= which is very difficult for any team .

622 is a great score but they could have finished it off at 550 but Pujara and Rahane again played well in today's match. They took the score from 133 to to 350. Disappointed with Kohli though. Ashwin already took 2 wickets and great to see him back in form with his bowling and batting as well. Surprised to see that the bowlers are performing consistently compared to the batsmen. Hope they finish off the 1st innings by tomorrow.

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 in test cricket average run rate is 3, But Indian batsman scored above 4 run rate it shows how fast they batted today. Usually, in test cricket batsman can score 280 or 290 runs in 90 overs. But India scored 344 runs. I think any of one batsman can score double century tomorrow what you guys say? If Directbet site is alive means, we will get many choices to place our bet.
for double century they have to bat still far, but it is good that they scored fast and if they score 600+ on 2nd day then it will be very good as i think 4th and 5th day we can see lot of turns in the pitch.
I know that it is a test match but in recent times the usual run rate for all the matches are near to 6 per over.
Sri Lankans managed to take both wickets in the morning but restricting India below 500 would be a very hard task. If India manages to score 550+ then it'll be too hard to come back.

Wow seriously! Many people here are blaming and shaming kholi, Just because he had few bad innings? Kholi is an class act! Just because he has got out of touch in few games doesn't means he is a shitty player. Also Cricket is about teamwork! It's not a one man game! You can't always expect a player to perform! They are humans too! Overall it was a Good day for India, interesting match ahead, i expect India to win this match too!

India have started well on the first day with both batsman playing with century completed will add on more pressure on SL tomorrow morning. India need to make some 600 score like 1st Test match to take the control of this game.
If SL restrict India under 500 then its a good comeback considering the present situation of the match.
today's cricket has been concentrated only making money, day by day cricket is losing its integrity. we heard that cricket is a gentlemen game but day by day this fact is getting wrong. money and drug scandal are mixed up with Cricket at a severe rate. cricket is losing its glamor. in here, money is not only the want, we want friendly enemy at the ground.

As a player I like Kholi, but as a captain, i hate this guy. He doesn't have any respect for senior players. And he thought no one would compete for his position. I think Rahane is the best competitor for captain position I am sure Kohli will lose his captainship. Come to the game India scored 206/3. Except for the captain, all 3 batsmen played well, and Poojara is heading to one more century in this test.
That is a fact and he thinks the captain is the supreme leader and not the coaches,he should be given a good lesson and i am not a fan of how things are going with the Indian team,because if these kind of attitudes continue then it will end up bad in the future,right now we have a good crop of players but will suffer in the future.I still cannot forget that defeat against Pakistan in CT final and I thought that match was fixed and India simply surrender themselves and since then I have stopped watching matches as it took away all my interest from cricket.

It's as if the entire team is playing for their individual score rather than as a team which was not the case when Dhoni was the captain. Virat focuses more on his own game which is why he fails to regulate the team in crucial situations. The team still manages to make runs and the upper order too are performing well but still the captainship needs to improve.
Hopefully they get a grip on their game and don't lose crucial matches. Today's game was still better and hope that they manage to get 500-550+ runs and then declare.

Dhawan making 35 off 37 balls, but KL Rahul's made his sixth successive fifty, Pujara stands by can call a fine start in spin-friendly conditions. Match position 0-1 now! SL will need to change their match planing, to keep alive this series!
Looks like India does have a fragile batting line up,they just lost their third wicket,i used to watch cricket in the early 2000s but lost interest because it consumes a really long time to get to the results which is not suitable for the current day and age as it is difficult to find time .It looks like a spinner friendly wicket and Herath bowling the second over of the match indicates that it will be difficult to bat on in the third and fourth innings.Good to see Kohli getting out early as he has become overconfident after becoming an captain and his behavior is also against the interest of the team and that is reason legendary player like Kumble has to resign from his job as Kohli's arrogance was intolerable.

India is winning this match hands down, Sri Lanka doesn't seem a formidable force once it was, the great Lanka team suddenly looks so weak and I feel it will be another crushing victory for India, but the form of Virat is a bit worry, kl Rahul could have scored so much more if not for the run out, team India looks a side to beat though it's day one, match seems all but over to me.
Comparing current India form to the Sril lankan, Even a new team excluding these playing 11 of India would win over Sri Lanka.
Sri Lankans are having a player crisis now.
Sri Lanka has become an unpredictable team now as we saw in Champions Trophy where they chased down the impossible target of 321 against India and later on lost to Zimbabwe in the home series and India will surely grab this series and will give white wash to Sri Lanka.
