Doesn't look like anything nasty is being said, to be fair. Some mind games, perhaps, considering there isn't anything on offer from the pitch?

Some quality shots to start of his Test career. India need to try something different. Could've tried Manav Suthar to replace Prasidh for a bit? Live Score: SL 31/2 in 8 ovs (Mishara 18*, Sooryabandara 7*) Aug 25, 2026 10:07 IST2nd Test Live: Prasidh looking too jitteryQuick observation made by the commentators regarding both Siraj and Prasidh. The latter has been quite jittery, trying too hard to get the wickets. Meanwhile, Siraj just wants to make sure that he is in the zone. Aug 25, 2026 09:57 ISTColombo Test Live: Session timings for Day 3Siraj is into the attack from the other. He tries a cheeky looping delivery here. Could've been the knuckle ball. Not really sure what that was but that did get the batter off guard momentarily. Meanwhile's here's the session timings for today considering we lost quite a bit of time yesterday.

Aug 25, 2026 09:29 ISTSri Lanka vs India: When does the match start?Action begins at 9:45 am IST. The two teams are already on the ground and have started warming up. Remember, that Dhruv Jurel will be keeping the wickets today as Rishabh Pant nurses his shoulder injury from the barrage of bouncers he faced against Sri Lanka fast bowlers on Day 1 and Day 2 of the Test match. Aug 25, 2026 09:25 ISTColombo Pitch Report: Big Danger for Sri LankaRussell Arnold does the pitch report in Colombo today. And boy, it is not good news for Sri Lanka. Arnold says that cracks are opening up in the pitch, something that did not happen in Galle. On a pitch like Colombo, where the pace and bounce is more, this is dangerous news for the batters. Sri Lanka already are down 2 wickets in just 3 overs, and things are likely going to get worse for the hosts today. Aug 25, 2026 09:13 ISTIND vs SL Live: Dhruv Jurel's dayDay 2 definitely belonged to Dhruv Jurel. At a time when it looked like India will not reach 450, Jurel partnered with Mohammed Siraj and played some really smart cricket to take India to a massive total. Mohammed Siraj was key to this. The fast bowler, known well for his penchant to tonk the ball, sat back, and blocked everything on his way. This allowed Jurel the space to pace his innings and reach his hundred. After reaching his hundred, Jurel showed his new tattoo - Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, and ode to his father and grandfather - soldier and farmer respectively.
