SEHWAG FIRES AGAIN
India took control of the third Test on Day 2 after outplaying the Sri Lankans in every department.
The hosts first wiped out the Lankan tail in less than half an hour in the morning. The visitors added only 27 runs to their overnight score of 366-8. They first lost Angelo Mathews (99), who missed his maiden Test hundred, through a close run-out.
Last-man Chanaka Welegedara struck two fours before he was trapped leg before by left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha and the Lankans were bowled out for 393.
India went past their own record for most runs in a day, as they finished Day 2 on a mammoth 443 for 1 in 79 overs, a lead of 50 runs.
