IND vs SL 2nd Test, Day 3 Highlights: India defeat Sri Lanka by 238 runs, win series 2-0 

Hello and welcome to India TV's live blog for the 2nd Test that will be a day-night game between India and Sri Lanka here at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Monday. I am your host for the day Aarush Chopra. Stay tuned for the over by over updates of the game. You can also follow the scorecard given below. 

Sri Lanka 208 all out in 59.3 overs India have won the second and final game of the two-match Test series. They always had an upper hand throughout this game. Even the Lankan skipper's ton couldn't protect them from avoiding a big-margin loss against the favorites India. Ashwin put the final nail in the coffin as he sends back Fernando to make his team thrash Sri Lanka by 238 runs in this pink-ball Test in Bengaluru. 

Jasprit Bumrah removes Karunaratne after he scored a fighting century.

Dimuth Karunaratne scored a ton against India.

Tea Break

Sri Lanka 151/4 in 39 overs After wickets fell in quick succession for Sri Lanka, the duo of Karunaratne and Dickwella has managed to steady their side's innings. They have played their shots while respecting the good balls on this sluggish track. Lankan skipper scored his fifty before tea break giving his team a bit of a relief. The visitors have touched the 150-run mark but a big task lies ahead with just six wickets remaining in the bank. 

India collect three wickets in the first session.

Sri Lanka 105/4 in 27.5 overs- WICKET R Ashwin takes another wicket in this session as he removes de Silva. Just after Sri Lanka struggled to cross the 100-run mark, Ash gives another shock to the visitors. Sri Lanka's confidence has shaken up after those quick dismissals. India are on top now as Dickwella arrives. 

Sri Lanka 98/3 in 20.4 overs- WICKET Now, Jadeja joins the party. He bowls a Jadeja special delivery to get better of the experienced Angelo Mathews. Sri Lanka after getting a solid start have started to crumble before drinks break. Dhananjaya enters the ground. 

Sri Lanka 97/2 in 19.4 overs- WICKET Ashwin strikes for India. Mendis just after scoring fifty departs. He comes down the ground to play against the off-spinner, but gets fooled by the turn and gets stumped. A good wicket for India who were in desperate need of that breakthrough. Mathews comes in.

Sri Lanka 92/1 in 19 overs Sri Lanka have made a promising start in the first session of Day 3. Both Mendis and Karunaratne have ensured to keep the scoreboard steering. And, they have looked really confident against the Indian spinners. The hosts have also been a little soft in this session as they have gifted some good runs in the extras. They should aim to keep it tight and endure wickets before dinner. Kusal Mendis has reached his fifty.

Team hurdle on Day 3.
