Sri Lanka get the Rahul punishment
Watch the plays of the day from the first day of the second Test between Sri Lanka and India in Colombo
The Sri Lanka slip-up
The opposition wins the toss, choose to bat and you have them 20 for 2. Things were swell for Sri Lanka, until it came that time for a fielding blooper.
The Rahul punishment
Greedy batsmen make the most of their chances and KL Rahul belongs to that breed. He eased to a second Test century with a delightful array of strokes
Captain compensates
Enough was enough for Angelo Mathews. So when a difficult but important opportunity off the bat of Virat Kohli presented itself, he pulled off something special
The allrounder comes undone
Stuart Binny was flown in to try bolster India's batting. The 40 balls he spent though were very very uncomfortable and he eventually threw his wicket away
The late blow
He seemed like he had a lot of time to play his shots. He also seemed to push at too many outside off. Rohit Sharma produced an important fifty for his career, but just as he seemed set to go through to stumps unscathed, he was out lbw off the final delivery of the day.
