India reaches 419 for six at lunch on Day 2 of the second Test against Sri Lanka, with Rishabh Pant and Druv Jurel guiding the innings. After resuming the day at 300-5, India loses its sixth wicket with seven more runs added to the overnight total.
Pant and Jurel both score half-centuries and build an unbeaten 112-run partnership for the seventh wicket as India takes control of the session. Saransh Jain, making his maiden Test appearance, is out for six, caught by Kamil Mishara after trying to fend off a bouncer from fast bowler Asitha Fernando.
Across the outlets, the key points are consistent: India begins Day 2 at 300-5, wickets fall before the pair settles in, and Pant and Jurel finish lunch on an unbeaten stand that takes the team to 419-6. The reporting focuses on the momentum gained through the seventh-wicket partnership and the specific circumstances of Jain’s dismissal.
