IND vs SL 1st test

The first match of the two-match Test series between India and Sri Lanka will be played at the Galle International Stadium in Galle on Saturday, August 15th. The match started on the first day as scheduled, but the timing for the second day has been changed. Furthermore, the number of overs will also be increased on the second day. So let's find out the full update regarding the time change and the increase in overs.

According to Cricbuzz, the match will begin at 9:45 AM on the second day, August 16th (Sunday). It should be noted that India and Sri Lanka have the same time slots. Therefore, the second day will also begin at 9:45 AM in India.

There will be an increase in overs

In addition to the time change, the number of overs on the second day is also expected to increase. It has been reported that 98 overs may be bowled on the second day. A Test match typically has a maximum of 90 overs per day. This could lead to an increase in the number of overs.

It's worth noting that only 73 overs were bowled on the first day. Perhaps to cover this, the match will start earlier on the second day and more overs may be bowled.

India's first day

The first day of the match was completely in India's favor. The team posted 288 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 73 overs. Devdutt Padikkal remained unbeaten on 131, while Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten on 27. KL Rahul retired hurt at 77 due to a hamstring injury.

India lost two wickets in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Shubman Gill. Jaiswal was run out for 32 runs, including five fours, while Gill was dismissed by Prabhat Jayasuriya for 16 runs, including two fours. Prabhat Jayasuriya took the only wicket for Sri Lanka. It will be interesting to see whether Sri Lanka can make a comeback on the second day or India's dominance continues.
