India vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test LIVE Score and Updates: Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the first Test between India and Sri Lanka in Mohali. The visitors will look to wrap up the Indian innings before the hosts gather any more moment. India will resume from their overnight score of 357/6. Stay tuned for more updates.

Day 1 report: Rishabh Pant was at his aggressive best on Friday but fell short of a century as India posted 357/6 on board on Day 1 of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Mohali.

India won the toss and opted to bat first. Rohit Sharma and Mayank Agarwal forged a 52-run stand for the opening wicket before the former departed. Hanuma Vihari, the new number three, walked in to bat and impressed, scoring 58. He was even involved in a 90-run stand with Virat Kohli (45), who looked promising but gave away his wicket even before he could get to his fifty in his 100th Test match.

Ravindra Jadeja (45*) and Ravichandran Ashwin (10*) will resume India’s innings, and will eye a total beyond 400. The Lankan bowlers will have to be cautious after they gave away too many no-balls. Lahiru Kumara sustained a niggle in his hamstring and left the field midway through Day 1. He did not return to bowl thereafter on Friday.
