India vs Sri Lanka 2022, Ind vs SL 2nd Test Cricket Score and Live Updates[/caption] Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah trapped Lahiru Thirimanne lbw for nought to take his wickets tally to six in the match before three fans ran on the pitch to get a selfie with Virat Kohli. India declared their second innings on 303-9 in the final session after Iyer made 67 and Pant smashed a 28-ball 50 – a Test record for an Indian batsman. Bumrah backed the gameplan of the left-handed Pant who is often criticised for throwing away his wicket after a start. “Every individual has a different gameplan, so he has backed his strengths,” Bumrah, the team’s vice-captain, said of the swashbuckling batsman. “Not every player in the team will play with the same tempo, we understand that. He is still getting more and more experience and learning about this game.” Iyer, who hit 92 in India’s first innings total of 252, raised his third Test fifty in his fourth match with a cracking boundary. He put on key partnerships including a 45-run stand with Pant and 63 with Ravindra Jadeja, who made 22, before falling lbw to Lasith Embuldeniya. Mohammed Shami hit an unbeaten 16 before skipper Rohit Sharma called him back to the pavilion after the fall of Axar Patel. Kohli’s ton drought India lost Rohit for 46 and Kohli for 13 but Pant extended India’s domination in his knock studded with seven fours and two sixes. Rohit, who used his sweep and reverse sweep to good effect against the spinners, missed out on his fifty after being caught at long on while attempting a big hit off Dhananjaya de Silva. He walked back as a huge roar erupted from a crowd welcoming Kohli, a former captain and star player for the local Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL team. But Kohli – who has not scored an international century since India’s first ever day-night Test in November 2019, and made 23 in the first innings – did not last long as he fell lbw to Praveen Jayawickrama. The star batsman’s Test average has fallen below 50 for the first time since 2017 and he has gone without a century for 73 international innings. In the morning, Sri Lanka, who were already struggling after resuming at 86-6, were dismissed for 109 inside half an hour during the first session to concede a lead of 143. Bumrah added two more to his first day’s tally of three wickets to bag his eighth five-wicket haul in 29 Tests and first on home soil. He defended the seemingly bowler-friendly pitch. “Nobody is complaining about the wicket,” Bumrah told reporters. “Yes, everybody is finding a way and looking forward to contribute because they know if they score good runs on a tough wicket then that will give them a lot of confidence when they play on a relatively flat wicket.” India lead the two-match series 1-0.

India complete a series sweep of 2-0 against Sri Lanka with a commendable win by 238 runs in this day-night Test. This Test, too ends in three days. It was a top, all-round performance from India in this series. Vishwa Fernando is the last to depart as he is caught by Shami at mid-off.
After 59 overs,Sri Lanka 208/9 ( Vishwa Fernando 2 , Praveen Jayawickrama 0)
SL lose a flurry of wickets and are on the verge of defeat in Bengaluru. Bumrah with the wicket of Lakmal, whose international career comes to an end. Wicket maiden.
After 57 overs,Sri Lanka 205/7 ( Lasith Embuldeniya 2 , Suranga Lakmal 0)
Huge, huge wicket for India as Bumrah cleans up skipper Karunaratne. The Lankan goes for the drive but is beaten by the fuller ball that comes in fast. Wicket and a run from it.
After 56 overs,Sri Lanka 204/6 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 107 , Lasith Embuldeniya 2)
Ashwin continues. Four byes from the over as Ashwin strays down the leg.
After 55 overs,Sri Lanka 200/6 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 107 , Lasith Embuldeniya 2)
Dimuth Karunaratne leading Sri Lanka from the front, quite literally. He’s scored his 14th Test century that comes in 166 balls. More importantly, this comes in a pressure situation.
After 53 overs,Sri Lanka 191/6 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 98 , Lasith Embuldeniya 2)
Jadeja continues. Just the single off Karunaratne as he gets to 98.
After 52 overs,Sri Lanka 190/6 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 97 , Lasith Embuldeniya 2)
Karunaratne delivering all the goods for Sri Lanka at the moment as he collects another boundary. He’s onto 97 with that one. Seven off Axar’s over.
After 51 overs,Sri Lanka 183/6 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 90 , Lasith Embuldeniya 2)
Jadeja continues. Huge appeal for LBW against Embuldeniya but that’s not out. India review this one. Ball-tracking shows impact is in line but it’s umpire’s call on the ball on the leg-stump. India retain their review but the verdict stands Not Out.
After 50 overs,Sri Lanka 182/6 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 89 , Lasith Embuldeniya 2)
Productive over for Axar Patel as he removes Charith Asalanka. Asalanka is caught by Rohit at backward square leg. Lasith Embuldeniya the new batter who joins the skipper.
After 48 overs,Sri Lanka 176/5 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 86 , Charith Asalanka 4)
Punched through extra-cover region and Asalanka collects a boundary as Ashwin continues. Five runs come off that one. Axar continues the next over. Just one run off his over.
After 46 overs,Sri Lanka 170/5 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 84 , Charith Asalanka 0)
Another setback for Sri Lanka as Dickwella departs. The visitors have lost half their side now. Dickwella was stumped by Pant offAxar Patel’s ball. Charith Asalanka is the new batter in now. Axar bowls the latest over, and concedes a boundary with Dimuth hitting a four. The Lankan skipper clips through square leg for those valuable runs.
After 40 overs,Sri Lanka 157/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 72 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 11)
We’re back. Axar Patel with the ball in the first over post tea break. Dimuth finds the fine-leg fence to finish the over with a boundary. Six runs from it.
After 39 overs,Sri Lanka 151/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 67 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 10)
Mohammed Shami with the last over before tea break. Shami finishes the session with a yorker in the last ball of the over. So, that will be tea break on Day 3. Karunaratne has taken his team through challenging times, and the task will get tougher in the forthcoming session. SL are 151/4 at tea break as they aim to chase down the target of 447.
After 38 overs,Sri Lanka 150/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 66 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 10)
Axar with the penultimate over before tea on Day 3. Just a couple of singles off it.
After 37 overs,Sri Lanka 148/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 65 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 9)
Shami continues. Dimuth with a boundary towards third man, that is edged past the gap between the keeper and first slip. Seven off the over.
After 36 overs,Sri Lanka 141/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 61 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 6)
Axar resumes. Karunaratne begins with a boundary, finds the wide of midwicket region. Huge appeal for caught behind and Dimuth is given NOT OUT. Rohit and Co opt for the review, but the decision remains not out. Nothing on UltraEdge and India lose a review.
After 35 overs,Sri Lanka 131/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 55 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 6)
Mohammed Shami is into the attack. Guided through midwicket and Karunaratne collects a boundary. Five runs off the over.
After 34 overs,Sri Lanka 126/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 50 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 6)
Axar Patel is into the attack. SL skipper Karunaratne gets to his 28th Test fifty, in 92 balls. Five runs off the over.
After 33 overs,Sri Lanka 121/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 45 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 6)
Huge appeal for a catch against Dickwella. He’s given OUT but Dickwella wastes no time in reviewing this. UltraEdge confirms it clupped the starp of his pad en route to the keeper. There’s no bat involved. They check for LBW as well, but it’s going down leg.
After 32 overs,Sri Lanka 119/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 44 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 6)
Ashwin resumes. Just a couple of runs from his latest over. SL will need to make this partnership count.
After 31 overs,Sri Lanka 117/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 44 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 4)
Jadeja resumes. Dickwella collects a brace towards long-on, and follows up that with a single to finish theour runs from it.
After 30 overs,Sri Lanka 113/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 43 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 1)
Jadeja continues. Dickwella is off the mark with a single as three runs come from that over. Ashwin follows up with another neat over, with just one run coming off it.
After 28 overs,Sri Lanka 109/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 40 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 0)
Ashwin gets rid of de Silva as he returns to bowl another over. He’s caught by Vihari, and this brings Niroshan Dickwella in at number six. Five runs and a wicket.
After 27 overs,Sri Lanka 104/3 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 39 , Dhananjaya de Silva 4)
Jadeja continues. De Silva with a miscued shot but gets enough to hit over extra-cover for a brace. Those are the first runs for SL in more than four overs.
