Pant got his ninth Test half-century as India took control in the third session of the opening day.

Ravindra Jadeja continued his sensational return to the Indian team to hammer his second Test hundred and put the hosts in a commanding position on Day 2 of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Mohali.

Iyer reviews it and Hawkeye confirms it was hitting the off stump. It doesn't hit the inside edge but hits the thigh pad which is in line with off stump. His knock which consisted of nine fours and four sixes put India in a strong position, after losing its top-order batters.

Pant's explosive knock, feasting on a tired Sri Lanka bowling attack, tightened India's tight grip on the first day's proceedings.

Pant further took de Silva to the cleaners, hitting successive fours through deep mid-wicket and down the ground. Pant then cut Embuldeniya twice through cover and point to take 22 runs off the over. With the duo looking increasingly comfortable at the crease and taking the attack to the Sri Lanka bowling attack, the 50-run partnership for the fifth wicket came up in 82 balls.

From 50 off 73, wicketkeeper would move to 92 off 88, taking 42 runs in just 15 balls as he pummeled the Sri Lankan attack on Day One of the Mohali Test.

The way he stood facing Embuldeniya, his first instinct was to look to attack, and defend only if he couldn’t. The over after Vihari fell, Pant skipped out and lofted Embuldeniya over long-on for six. Even when not close to the pitch of the ball, he placed it dead between long-on and long-off. The same Pant would go nine balls without a run either side of tea, even playing out a maiden to Embuldeniya after the interval. Pant came down the pitch to his first ball, from Lasith Embuldeniya, and knocked it back to the bowler. To put it simply, Pant reminded us again in Mohali that he’s special; whether he’ll be treated so by fans and critics depends on how soon he dashes down the track, heaves and falls cheaply next. And in the following Test in Mohali, he’s now bashed 96 off 97 to convert 175 for 4 into 332 for 6.

On a grim morning otherwise, the cricket on the field provides little solace. Jadeja has enhanced his reputation as a batter further with his second Test ton and they'll be hoping that he is able to add more after the break. The loss of Shane Warne has left the world stunned and shocked. He's made his batting stand out in the last couple of years, and the progress continues upwards. Claps all around as Ashwin gets past fifty for the 17th time in Test cricket. But the siren goes off in the ground as the third umpire signals a no ball! He's in the midst of a fire-breathing spell, mixing up yorkers, bouncers and slower ones. The declaration was imminent and this brings it forward. But Asalanka had a good stride out and he opts for the review where the tracker showed that the delivery could be missing leg stump. They have been a class apart with both bat and ball and have gained significant ground just on the second day. After a solid start, the spinners are getting into the game. The deficit is a huge one for Sri Lanka, and they will need a superhuman effort to recover from this position in the upcoming days.
