Scorecard

Lokuge Chandimal made a fine 143, but the Indian bowlers otherwise kept a tight check on the Sri Lanka Under-19's progress on day two of the second Test at Kandy. Apart from a 113-run fourth-wicket partnership between Chandimal and Ashan Priyanjan (68), Sri Lanka had to forge small stands down the order to finish the day on 336 for 8, still 155 runs behind.

From an overnight 11 for 0, the Sri Lankan openers progressed to 56 before Dhaval Kulkarni, the medium-pacer, removed Lahiru Thirimanna for 17. Chandimal, who opened in the second innings of the Colombo Test, led the scoring in a 62-run partnership with Lahiru Weragala (19) and then added the highest stand of the innings with Priyanjan, but after the centurion departed wickets fell at regular intervals. Angelo Perera (34 from 48 balls) and Sachith Pathirana (32 not out from 32) were the only other notable scorers.

For India, Kulkarni led the way with 3 for 83 from 18 overs, and was backed up by Amanpreet Singh's 2 for 82 and an economical 2 for 27 from Ravindra Jadeja's 17 overs. Jadeja, whose match haul of 9 for 33 spun India to a comprehensive win in the first Test, picked up the key wickets of Weragala and Mathurage Perera.
