Six runs come off the over as India move to 207/3 after 57 overs.

Lahiru Kumara comes into the attack, replacing Asitha Fernando, and immediately produces a worrying moment for Rishabh Pant. A sharp short ball cramps Pant as he attempts the pull, with the ball catching his wrist.

Pant is in clear discomfort and the physio comes out to assess him. After a lengthy delay and an attempt to treat the injury, Pant eventually walks off retired hurt.

It is a big blow for India, with Ravindra Jadeja coming in at No. 6 instead of Dhruv Jurel.

Jadeja leaves the first two deliveries before swaying away from another short ball. He gets off the mark with a single off the final delivery.

Padikkal adds another single before Pant defends the final delivery.

Three runs come off the over as India reach 201/3 after 56 overs.

That will be tea on Day 1, with India reaching 187/3 after 52 overs.

Rishabh Pant survives a huge LBW appeal immediately after coming to the crease, but Sri Lanka opt not to review. The ball appears to be drifting down leg, with the impact on Pant's front pad.

Devdutt Padikkal remains unbeaten on 63 off 117 balls, while Shubman Gill's patient 50 is the latest wicket to fall. Pant walks off smiling alongside Padikkal as India head into the tea break.

Prabath Jayasuriya continues and keeps things tight, with Padikkal defending before picking up a single through the sweeper cover. Gill sees out the rest of the over as India reach 185/2 after 51 overs.

Asitha Fernando returns, and Sri Lanka immediately get the breakthrough.

Padikkal pulls a short delivery to deep square leg for a single before Gill settles in with a couple of defensive shots. He leaves the next delivery, but Fernando then gets one to take the edge.

Gill is gone for 50 off 108 balls! The fielder almost spills the chance but manages to hold on at the second attempt. A timely bowling change from Sri Lanka has paid off, with Fernando striking again.

Gill walks back visibly frustrated after a patient half-century, and India lose their third wicket at 186/3.

Prabath Jayasuriya continues and Gill opens up, driving inside-out towards long-off for two. He then settles back into defence as India reach 172/2 after 47 overs.

Padikkal adds a single through deep mid-off, while Gill defends the final two deliveries.

Just two runs come off the over as India reach 184/2 after 50 overs.

Nuwantha switches to over the wicket to Padikkal and keeps attacking the leg side. Another delivery strays down leg but is not called wide, prompting a word from the umpire. He goes there again with the next ball, and this time it is called wide.

Padikkal remains watchful, defending and leaving the rest of the over. A messy take from Niroshan Dickwella then allows the ball to run away to the boundary, with India awarded four leg-byes.

Four runs come off the over as India move to 170/2 after 46 overs.

Prabath Jayasuriya continues and Padikkal gets to his half-century in gritty fashion. After defending the first delivery with soft hands, he finds the boundary to bring up his fifty off 90 balls.

It has not been as fluent as his superb hundred in Galle. Padikkal was dropped twice early on and looked uncomfortable at times against the short ball, but he has dug in and made the most of his opportunity at No. 3.

A single off the next delivery takes him to 51. A valuable knock for India at No. 3.

Keshara Nuwantha returns to the attack and Padikkal starts cautiously, defending the first few deliveries before finding a single through to sweeper cover. Gill then works one wide of leg slip for another single.

The over ends with a dot as two runs come off it, taking India to 142/2 after 40 overs.

Prabath Jayasuriya keeps the pressure on with a maiden over, with Gill unable to find a gap.

Eight runs come off the over as India move to 137/2 after 38 overs. Gill is on 3 off 68 balls, while Padikkal has moved to 35 off 74.

Jayasuriya continues and Padikkal takes a single down to long-on before Gill adds another with a controlled punch through cover. Padikkal then finds the gap wide of cover for another single.

Three runs come off the over as India reach 140/2 after 39 overs. Drinks are called.

Asitha Fernando continues and keeps Padikkal under pressure with the short ball. The left-hander ducks under one, defends the next and then attempts to guide another over the keeper's head, but misses. A maiden over for Fernando.

Prabath Jayasuriya returns and Gill starts positively, working one to the leg side before defending back to the bowler. He then finds the boundary with a well-timed shot.

Jayasuriya follows it up with an LBW appeal, but Gill survives after the replays show he got an inside edge onto the pad.

Four runs come off the over as India reach 120/2 after 35 overs.

Lahiru Kumara comes back into the attack and Padikkal pulls a short delivery for a single. Gill adds another with a neat dab towards gully.

Padikkal then gets hold of another short ball, swivelling across and hammering the pull through square leg for four. He takes a risk with the next delivery, backing away and attempting to steer it over the slips, but fortunately for him, it evades the keeper.

Six runs come off the over as India move to 126/2 after 36 overs.

Keshara Nuwantha continues and keeps Padikkal quiet for most of the over. The left-hander defends the first few deliveries before clearing his front foot and lifting one over mid-off. He doesn't quite get enough on it to reach the boundary on the full, but it still races away for four.

Four runs come off the over as India move to 109/2 after 31 overs.

Asitha Fernando continues to test the batters with short balls. Gill works one off the back foot towards square leg before defending the next couple. He then picks up a single towards cover.

Padikkal is forced to deal with a barrage of bouncers, ducking under three in the over as Fernando keeps the ball short. Just one run comes off it, with India reaching 110/2 after 32 overs.

Nuwantha continues and Gill comes down the track to defend before leaving one alone. He then steps out again, gets to the pitch of the ball and creams a superb drive through extra cover for four.

Gill adds a single, while Padikkal takes one off the final delivery.

Six runs come off the over as India reach 116/2 after 33 overs.

Jayasuriya continues after lunch and Gill looks increasingly comfortable. He gets well forward to defend before taking a single, while Padikkal adds another with a push-drive towards mid-off.

Gill then finds the gap wide of mid-wicket with a crisp half-arm jab, sending the ball racing to the boundary. He safely negotiates the final two deliveries as six runs come off the over, taking India to 97/2 after 28 overs.

Nuwantha keeps things tight from the other end. Padikkal defends the first delivery before picking up a single off a low full toss. Gill sees out the rest as India move to 98/2 after 29 overs.

Asitha Fernando returns as Sri Lanka bring pace back into the attack. Padikkal gets behind one and takes a single before Gill produces another beautifully timed boundary to bring up India's 100.

Fernando then traps Gill in front with one that nips back sharply, but a review shows a clear inside edge. The shot is stopped in the field, but Gill manages to come back for two.

Seven runs come off the over as India reach 105/2 after 30 overs.

India resume after lunch with Devdutt Padikkal and Shubman Gill looking to build on their steady partnership. Sri Lanka open with spin, bringing Prabath Jayasuriya into the attack with a slip in place.

Jayasuriya immediately troubles Padikkal with a slider that beats his defence, but the left-hander responds by getting well forward and seeing out a maiden over.

Keshara Nuwantha continues from the other end and Sri Lanka appeal loudly for LBW against Gill. The India captain is well forward and the impact appears to be outside off, so the appeal is turned down. Gill then works one through mid-wicket for a single.

Padikkal adds two more by stepping down the track and looking to go inside-out over cover, though he doesn't quite middle the shot.

Three runs come off the over as India move to 91/2 after 27 overs.

India head into lunch at 88/2 after 25 overs on the opening day in Colombo. 

Lahiru Kumara returns for another spell and keeps Devdutt Padikkal quiet early in the over. Padikkal defends a couple before finding two runs towards fine leg, with a sharp stop preventing more. India move to 75/2 after 21 overs.

Prabath Jayasuriya continues and Shubman Gill nearly finds a gap, getting an inside edge past short leg for two. He then settles back into defence as Sri Lanka keep things tight. Two runs come off the over as India reach 77/2 after 22 overs.

Keshara Nuwantha comes back and Padikkal picks up a single through mid-off. Gill then produces another crisp boundary before adding a single, taking India to 83/2 after 23 overs.

Jayasuriya keeps Gill in check with a tidy over. The India captain is solid off the front foot, repeatedly meeting the ball cleanly as Sri Lanka bowl a maiden.

Nuwantha continues and Padikkal starts to open up. He cuts one towards point, leaves the next and then finds the boundary. A full toss follows, but Padikkal can only manage a single after Asitha makes a good stop to save three runs.

Five runs come off the over as India reach 88/2 after 25 overs.

Shubman Gill walks in after Jaiswal's dismissal, with Prabath Jayasuriya back into the attack. Devdutt Padikkal gets India moving with a single through cover before Gill settles in with a couple of watchful defensive shots.

Asitha Fernando continues and keeps the pressure on. A delivery that stays a touch low strikes Padikkal on the pads, giving India a leg-bye. Gill remains cautious at the other end and, after facing 10 balls, is still waiting to get off the mark.

India add just one run to reach 68/2 after 19 overs.

Jayasuriya continues and Padikkal works one through mid-wicket for a single. Gill then patiently sees out a couple of deliveries before finally breaking the shackles.

The India captain opens his account in style, finding the boundary to get off the mark. Five runs come off the over as India reach 73/2 after 20 overs.

A heated exchange between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Asitha Fernando after the wicket has added some spice to the contest in Colombo.

Jaiswal's helmet and head also appeared to make contact during the moment, which is certainly not a good sign. It could well be one of the talking points from an eventful opening day.

Asitha Fernando returns and keeps things tight before Padikkal gets India moving with a single towards fine leg after being hurried by the pace. Jaiswal then picks up two down the leg side, with Niroshan Dickwella getting a glove to the ball but only managing to parry it away. A single off the final delivery takes India to 49/1 after 15 overs.

Keshara Nuwantha continues, but Jaiswal is starting to find his rhythm. He cuts a short delivery for a boundary to bring up India's 50, then adds another single through deep mid-off. Padikkal sees out the rest as India reach 54/1 after 16 overs.

Fernando comes back and Jaiswal continues to dominate. He finds the gap through the covers for a boundary, then produces another beautifully timed shot through the off side, moving to 45 off 52 balls.

But Fernando has the last laugh. The pacer beats Jaiswal's defence and knocks over his stumps, ending a promising innings. Jaiswal is visibly disappointed, while there is a brief exchange of words between the batter and bowler.

Twelve runs come off the over as India slip to 66/2 after 17 overs.

Keshara Nuwantha comes into the attack and India pick up just a single. Jaiswal works one down to long-off, while Padikkal remains watchful and defends the rest of the over.

Lahiru Kumara continues and Jaiswal clips one to deep square leg for a single. Padikkal then gets off the mark with a soft-handed shot towards mid-wicket. Jaiswal sees out the rest as India move to 40/1 after 13 overs.

Nuwantha continues, and Sri Lanka hand Padikkal another life. The left-hander goes for a cut to a slightly short delivery outside off and gets a thick edge, but the ball flies straight to the slip fielder, who fails to hold on. Padikkal manages to scamper through for a single.

That is Padikkal's second dropped chance in five overs -- a worrying sign for Sri Lanka, especially against India's in-form batter.

Jaiswal then finds the boundary before defending the final two deliveries.

Five runs come off the over as India reach 45/1 after 14 overs.

Lahiru Kumara continues and KL Rahul starts the over with two runs, pulling a short delivery firmly in front of square after getting on top of the bounce.

Rahul then plays one towards backward point before Kumara strikes with the next ball. A short, wide delivery tempts Rahul into the cut, but he gets a top edge and Niroshan Dickwella takes a comfortable catch.

Rahul departs for 18 off 33 balls, ending the opening partnership.

Devdutt Padikkal walks out to join Yashasvi Jaiswal in the middle, with India losing their first wicket.

The players then take the drinks break at the SSC.

Asitha Fernando switches to round the wicket to Yashasvi Jaiswal, but the left-hander is in no mood to take risks. He leaves the first delivery, defends the next few with a straight bat and then lets one swing past him. A maiden over for Fernando.

Prabath Jayasuriya is introduced into the attack, bringing spin into play for the first time. With a slip and short leg in place, KL Rahul gets India moving, working one towards mid-off and completing a quick single. Jaiswal sees out the rest of the over as India reach 19/0 after eight overs.

Lahiru Kumara returns and keeps things tight, with Rahul playing out another maiden over.

Jayasuriya continues, but this time India find their rhythm. Jaiswal gets a flighted delivery in his area and drills it through the leg side for a boundary. Rahul then steps down the track, gets to the pitch and launches one straight back over the bowler's head for a huge six.

He adds a single before defending the final delivery.

Twelve runs come off the over as India race to 31/0 after 10 overs.

Asitha Fernando continues and KL Rahul finally breaks the run of quiet overs with a superb boundary through cover. He waits patiently for one in his hitting arc, gets well forward and caresses it through the gap.

Fernando then gets one to straighten into Rahul, who falls over while attempting the flick and is struck on the pads. Sri Lanka make a loud LBW appeal and decide to review after the umpire says not out.

However, UltraEdge shows no bat involved and ball-tracking confirms the delivery was missing leg stump. Not out, and Sri Lanka lose a review. A dot ball finishes the over.

Four runs come off it as India move to 17/0 after five overs.

Lahiru Kumara continues and gets one to rise on Jaiswal, who defends it softly into the pitch. There is another loud LBW appeal, but the umpire remains unmoved and Sri Lanka decide against reviewing it.

Jaiswal then works one away to fine leg for a single, while Rahul sees out the rest of the over safely.

Just one run comes from it as India reach 18/0 after six overs.

Asitha Fernando continues and keeps KL Rahul quiet. Rahul leaves the first two deliveries before defending the third and letting the next one go. Fernando completes a maiden over.

Lahiru Kumara continues from the other end and Jaiswal is equally watchful, playing out a tidy over without scoring.

Two successive maiden overs for Sri Lanka as India remain 13/0 after four overs.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul are off to a confident start as India move to 13/0 after two overs.

Asitha Fernando begins with a yorker, but Jaiswal wastes no time getting off the mark, driving it stylishly towards long-off for a boundary. The left-hander then plays out the next couple of deliveries before flicking one behind square for a single. Rahul finishes the over with a watchful defence.

Lahiru Kumara takes the ball from the other end and Jaiswal remains patient initially, defending one and leaving the next. But he soon shifts gears, finding the boundary twice in a row to finish the over in style.

Eight runs come off the second over as India make a brisk start in Colombo.

Shubman Gill confirmed that Kuldeep Yadav misses the Colombo Test due to an infection, paving the way for Saransh Jain to make his India debut.

The pitch is expected to offer plenty of runs, with some live grass providing the new-ball bowlers a little assistance early on. However, it is not a green top and should become a good surface for batting as the Test progresses.

With plenty of runs likely on offer, teams winning the toss are expected to bat first. Interestingly, the toss has not made much difference in Colombo, with teams batting first and second having both won 16 times.

Here are the playing XIs

India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal, Shubman Gill(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Saransh Jain, Manav Suthar, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna

Sri Lanka: Lahiru Udara, Kamil Mishara, Pasindu Sooriyabandara, Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva(c), Sonal Dinusha, Niroshan Dickwella(w), Keshara Nuwantha, Prabath Jayasuriya, Lahiru Kumara, Asitha Fernando

India have won the toss and opted to bat first against Sri Lanka.

Shubman Gill called it right at the toss and decided to bat first, saying the Colombo pitch looks tougher than the one in Galle.

Saransh Jain makes his India debut, with Kuldeep Yadav left out. The off-spinner comes into the XI as India make one change for the second Test.

Saransh Jain has just received his Test cap from Ravindra Jadeja, which looks like a strong indication that Kuldeep Yadav will miss this Test.

India head into the second Test against Sri Lanka with confidence after a commanding win in Galle, but the victory also exposed a few areas that need fixing before the Colombo clash on Sunday.

The Indian bowlers were clinical, with Sri Lanka failing to cross 300 in either innings. Manav Suthar starred with a 10-wicket haul, including 6/55 in the second innings, while Ravindra Jadeja also chipped in with crucial wickets.

The biggest positive, however, was India's improved batting against spin. Devdutt Padikkal's superb 167, along with KL Rahul's 82 and Dhruv Jurel's 51, powered India to 462 in the first innings. Rishabh Pant then smashed a quick 66 in the second innings, with Padikkal and Rahul again making valuable contributions.

But there are concerns. Yashasvi Jaiswal has managed only one fifty in his last eight Test innings, while captain Shubman Gill scored just 24 runs in Galle. Both will be keen to make an impact in Colombo.

Kuldeep Yadav's lack of impact is another talking point. He bowled just 25 overs across two innings and took one wicket. India could consider off-spinner Saransh Jain, especially with three left-handers in Sri Lanka's top seven.

India need a win in Colombo to strengthen their World Test Championship campaign, with tough series against New Zealand and Australia to follow.
