Rishabh Pant scored the fastest fifty in the history of Indian Test cricket and Shreyas Iyer hit his second half-century of the match as India raced to a declaration at 303/9 on an action-packed second day in Bengaluru.

Sri Lanka was restricted to 109 all out within the first thirty minutes of the day’s play and 105/4 on their second inning, struggling to chase the cumbersome total, chasing 342 to win.
