Another productive day unfolded for India as they took complete control of the ongoing second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo.

Jurel shared 112 with Rishabh Pant to lift India from 307 for six to 419, before adding 39 with Suthar. Jurel’s 177-ball innings showcased remarkable composure, risk-free run accumulation and excellent situational awareness.

Kamil Mishara was unbeaten on five as the hosts ended the extended session at 5:51 pm, still trailing India by 495 runs.
