OUTTTTT!!! Dhruv Jurel is caught by Dhananjaya de Silva soon after his fifty. The Indian wicketkeeper is caught outstandingly by the Lankan captain after Jurel gets a leading edge due to spin. IND 444/7

Dhruv Jurel silences critics. Before the start of the game, a lot has been spoken about Jurel's form with the bat. The right-hander silences all the noise with a fifty as India inch closer to 450-run mark. IND 432/6

OUTTT!!!! Devdutt Padikkal's time in the middle comes to an end. The southpaw goes down the track and goes for a big hit. Prabath Jayasuriya bowls a quicker delivery around off and the wicketkeeper makes no mistake in dislodging the stumps. Padikkal walks back after 167. IND 368/5

OUTTT!!! Another wicket goes down for India. KL Rahul, who was retired hurt for 77 on Day 1, returned to bat today after the dismissal of Rishabh Pant. However, Rahul could manage only five runs to his overnight score before being caught by Nishan Fernando at short fine leg off Keshara Nuwantha. Rahul walks back for 82. IND 327/4

OUTTTT!!!! First success for Sri Lanka on the day. Rishabh Pant goes down the pitch and looked to attack Keshara Nuwantha. The ball hits the bottom of Pant's bat and goes up in the air. Sonal Dinusha runs right of mid-off to take the catch. KL Rahul walks out to bat. He was retired hurt on Day 1. Pant departs for 39. IND 307/3

Finally, play starts in Galle on Day 2. Rishabh Pant and Devdutt Padikkal walk out to bat for India. Prabath Jayasuriya bowls the first over of the day, concedes six runs. IND 294/2

Although there is no rain at the moment, but there will be an inspection at 1:40 PM. The rain has been playing hide and seek in Galle.

In case you have missed it, Bangladesh have stunned Australia at their own backyard for the first time in Tests. This was also Bangladesh' second-ever Test win over Australia.

There was bit of bright sunshine but the covers are back on again in Galle as a dark cloud is coming towards the ground. The wait for the start of play on Day 2 further extends.

Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir and batting coach Sitanshu Kotak are in the middle, talking with the groundsmen. The skies don't pain a good picture as its overcast and dark.

Bad news again from Galle. The stumps are being unplugged once again and the covers are coming on. Although there is no rain, but the groundsmen are taking no risk. The drizzle is back as early lunch is taken.

The rain has stopped in Galle, but there is a lot of water on top of the covers. So it's going to take a bit of time to clear all things up and get started.

Its raining in Galle since morning. As a result, the start of the game is delayed. Like yesterday, the entire ground is neatly covered. But it continues to pelt down right now. After the time lost on Day 1, the second day was to start 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled time. The forecast for today is also not great.

Indian opener KL Rahul was retired hurt with cramps on Day 1 in galle. Rahul, who had reached 77 not out, initially walked out towards the middle after Tea break but appeared to be struggling with his right hand. The cramps then appeared to worsen, with Rahul also seemingly experiencing pain in his left hand. He was seen limping as well, prompting him to leave the field.

Rahul's departure brought an end to his unbeaten 150-run partnership with Devdutt Padikkal.

Before this Test, Devdutt Padikkal last played a Test match against Australia in 2024 during the BGT. Coming into the side replacing injured Sai Sudharsan, Padikkal was in a roll. He first scored an unbeaten hundred during the warmup match, before his maiden Test hundred on Saturday. Padikkal reached 131 not out at stumps on Day 1. He faced 178 balls, hitting 12 fours and a six, so far.

India have commanded on the first day in Galle. After opting to bat first, the Indians had a flying start until Yashasvi Jaiswal was unfortunately run out. However, that didn't deter India too much as KL Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal rebuild with a 150-run stand. Rahul was retired hurt on 76 before Padikkal registered his maiden Test hundred. India finished the day on 288/2.

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the second day of the first Test between India and Sri Lanka.
