  "account": "On the second day of the India vs Sri Lanka Test match at Galle, the weather played a pivotal role in shaping the proceedings. After a delay of over five hours due to rain and gloomy conditions, play resumed with India at 460 for 9 after 116 overs. Veteran centurion Devdutt Padikkal, who had started the day on 167, was the first to fall, dashed by debutant Keshara Nuwantha who exploited the spin-friendly pitch with his variations. KL Rahul, who had retired hurt on Day 1, was also dismissed shortly after, undone by sharp turn and a well-executed catch. However, the visitors managed to add 55 runs for the seventh wicket with Manav Suthar, who formed a resilient partnership with Jadeja, keeping the momentum in their favor. Despite these efforts, India needed to score quickly to maintain their dominance in the contest.",
  "summary": "A rain-hit Day 2 in Galle turned into a frantic 90 minutes as Sri Lanka's bowlers struck in quick succession, dismissing India's overnight batters and bringing the hosts back into the contest. Devdutt Padikkal's 167 and a crucial lower-order stand kept India in control, but the pitch is beginning to offer the turn and bounce expected in Galle.",
