India have taken firm control of the first Test in Galle after ending day one at 399 for the loss of three wickets. Sri Lanka bowlers struggled for line and length throughout the day and were punished by Indian batsmen especially Shikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara. Both of them scored individual centuries and scored quick runs which helped India amass their second best score on the opening day of a Test match. Dhawan was dismissed for 190, ten runs short of what would have been his maiden double ton in Test cricket. Pujara, however, was unbeaten on 144 at close of play with Ajinkya Rahanewho was unbeaten on 36. Catch the India vs Sri Lanka Live Score of 1st Test Day 2 from Galle here
