IND 284/6

Sri Lanka Cricket XI has taken the new ball. Seems like India is in the mood to bat for at least one more session tomorrow. Padikkal and Saransh looking good so far.

August 08, 2026 17:00

Padikkal is back

So India is back to eight down as Padikkal has returned to the crease. He was on 103 when he decided to walk back. Padikkal joins Saransh at the crease. 28 minutes more today to end the day.

August 08, 2026 16:57

Siraj falls

Saransh Jain is the new man in. He takes a single first ball. Asanka bowls a bouncer and Siraj gets a top edge. Asanka catches the ball himself. India is nine down now.

August 08, 2026 16:56

Suthar departs

Manav Suthar’s 90-ball stay comes to an end. He’s trapped leg before by Asanka Manoj. He scored 41 and looked really comfortable while at the crease.

August 08, 2026 16:45

Kuldeep retires out

So just 15 balls for Kuldeep before he’s called back. Mohd Siraj comes at the crease. One can assume this is going to be India’s playing XI in the first Test. India management wants the lower order to have good batting time.

August 08, 2026 16:24

Jadeja walks out

Ravindra Jadeja has decided to walk out of the field after scoring 63 off 117 balls. Kuldeep Yadav has walked into bat. IND 250/6, trails by 113 runs.

August 08, 2026 16:06

IND 238/5

Manav Suthar has found opportunities to free his arms, and he has done well to make use of them. Both have added 64 runs for this partnership.

August 08, 2026 15:36

Jadeja scores fifty

Ravindra Jadeja reaches his half-century off 88 balls. Plays a perfect sweep shot for four against the left-arm spinner Dilum Sudeera to get to the milestone.

August 08, 2026 15:21

IND 186/5

The players are back after Tea. Slow turn on the wicket today. Jadeja has looked really good so far. A key player for India and he’s getting ample amount of batting time.

August 08, 2026 14:54

IND 180/5 at Tea

Tea has been taken in Colombo. A couple of quick wickets for India once Padikkal decided to walk off after reaching his century. Pant and Jurel both got out quickly. Manav Suthar and Ravindra Jadeja currently occupy the crease. India trails by 183 runs.

August 08, 2026 14:47

Big news coming for India

Sai Sudharsan ruled out of Sri Lanka Test series after failing to recover from injury

Sai Sudharsan is ruled out of the Sri Lanka Test series due to injury, missing vital matches for India.

August 08, 2026 14:36

Dhruv Jurel gone as well

Pant’s backup, Dhruv Jurel also has to walk back to the pavillion as he falls after scoring 1 off 9 balls. A good catch by the short leg fielder there as Jurel tried to work Ramesh Mendis on the leg side.

Manav Suthar walks in at five.

August 08, 2026 14:18

Pant departs cheaply

Rishabh Pant tries to attack from the word go but isn’t able to connect. He came down the track, trying to hit over mid off but is caught by the fielder. Falls after scoring just 2.

August 08, 2026 14:09

Hundred for Padikkal!!

A century of class! Devdutt Padikkal gets to a fantastic hundred with a pull shot through midwicket. Survived a dropped caught-and-bowled chance just the ball before.

He walks off the field after reaching three figures and Rishabh Pant joins Jadeja in the middle.

August 08, 2026 14:02

IND 155/2

Isitha manages to get Padikkal’s outside edge as he tries to cut a wide one, which did not carry and speeds past a diving first slip for four. Into the nineties now.

August 08, 2026 13:56

IND 149/2

Padikkal continues to pile on the runs despite the pitch starting to play a few tricks. The Karnataka batter moves to 87 and has found a solid partner in Jadeja.

August 08, 2026 12:44

IND 88/1

Devdutt Padikkal has reached his half-century off just 61 balls while KL Rahul too has begun to open his shoulders. A six over cow corner dancing down the tracked followed by a beautiful inside-out cover drive for four: some glorious shots by KL Rahul.

August 08, 2026 12:35

Match resumes

The players are back on the field after the early lunch. The conditions seem to be clear. The new session timings will be:

2:30 to 2:50 PM second session

2:50 to 3:10 PM Tea

3:10 to 5:28 PM third session

August 08, 2026 11:24

IND 67/1 - Rain stops play

Despite losing Jaiswal early in the innings, India has got a good start with Padikkal and Rahul getting good starts. However, it has started to rain suddenly, and the players are going off the field. Could be a passing shower.

August 08, 2026 10:58

IND 50/1

Devdutt Padikkal has got a good start. He has left a few angled in deliveries well and pounced on anything that’s too wide. Rahul, meanwhile, is focused on his defence - a crucial skill needed in the upcoming two Tests.

August 08, 2026 10:28

Rahul, Padikkal at the crease

K.L. Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal will look to make the most of this opportunity and dig in on a pitch that’s proved to be pretty flat thus far. Jaiswal will be gutted with himself for not having cashed in on this surface.

August 08, 2026 09:55

Indian bowlers make comeback after poor first session on Day 1

India vs Sri Lanka Cricket XI: Indian bowlers make comeback after poor first session on Day 1
