Stumps on Day 2 | India require nine wickets to win | Sri Lanka are 419 runs behind
It was quite challenging, the new ball can get you out, it was that kind of a wicket. I thought we batted well in both innings. We believe we can turn up tomorrow and get their wickets. I was trusting my defence, knew which one to play and which to leave, I got a good ball in the first innings, but I think I could have done better in the second innings. It was easier to bat against the spinners under lights, because of dew, but it was still challenging. I knew the areas where I could score and I wanted to wait for it. It was a mix of both - we didn't plan to bowl tonight, but with wickets falling, we felt we could bowl around 35-40 minutes and try to take a wicket or two.
