India dictate terms after Jurel's unbeaten century

India reached 419-6 at lunch on day two of the second and final Test against Sri Lanka. Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel formed an unbeaten 112-run partnership for the seventh wicket, with Pant scoring 63 not out, including six fours and two sixes, and Jurel hitting 59 not out with five fours. According to Business Recorder, Pant and Jurel's partnership helped India build on their score, which had reached 300-5 after a second hundred of the series by another batsman.

Pant had retired hurt on Sunday but returned to bat after the fall of debutant Saransh Jain, who was dismissed by Asitha Fernando for six. Jain was caught at slip.

India leads the two-Test series 1-0.
