India dismissed Sri Lanka for 135 runs and enforced the follow on, with Kuldeep Yadav taking 4 wickets, Indian media reported. Earlier, Hardik Pandya scored a century to power India to 487.

The slight glimmer of hope that the Lankans had after winning two sessions over India on day one meant nothing on day two as Sri Lanka failed to curtail the Indian tail.

Pandya exhibited excellent temperament to negotiate the first hour of play sensibly combining for a 62-run stand for the eighth wicket with Kuldeep Yadav (26), before he switched to his beast mode taking 58 runs in just 32 deliveries batting with number 11 batsman, Umesh Yadav en route to his maiden first-class triple-figure mark with the help of eight fours and seven sixes.

With the first innings score stretched to 487, it was time for the Indian bowlers to take centerstage.

Mohammad Shami claimed two up front before chinaman bowler Kuldeep got in to the act with 4 for 40. Shami was on point right from the start, finding his line and length and hint of away movement from angle made life tough for both SL openers Upul Tharanga and Dimuth Karunaratne.

    All our expectations scattered by the poor performance of our team, even our school boys would have played better than our national team.

    Sports Minister should be removed and Sanga and Mahela should come forward to coach our team, other-wise we will be on the bottom for sure.

    Our guys don't know what is Test Cricket and what is T20 or 50 over games, dam shame.

    Very poor captaincy, wrong decision selecting Chandimal as Test Captain, he should be removed and replaced with Hearath.

    WILL THE SLC MANAGEMENT LOOK INTO THE FOLLOWING AS OUR PERFORMANCE IS IN SERIOUS SITUATION1. WHO IS TO BE BLAMED, A) THE PLAYERS, B) COACH, C) SELECTION COMMITTEE OR THE TEAM MANAGERDID WE SURRENDER BEFORE GAMES STARTED AS WE HAD LOST TO ZIMBABWE BEFORE THE TEAM ARRIVED. DONT YOU THINK THE TEAM NEEDS PHYSIOLOGICAL GUIDANCE

    Is Upul Tharanga trying to make a statement here?

    TONY Monday, 14 August 2017 11:35 AM

    NEVER MIND LOOSING MATCHES BUT NOT WITHOUT ANY SORT OF OPPOSITION AND IN A DISGRACEFUL MATTER. AM SURE OUR "A" TEAM WOULD HAVE PERFORMED BETTER
