✦AI Summary
India reached a score of 460 for nine on the second day of the rain-affected first Test match against Sri Lanka in Galle. Devdutt Padikkal scored 167, while Dhruv Jurel contributed a vital 51 to help consolidate India's position.
Sunday was largely about waiting for the sun. Fringed by the Indian Ocean and lashed by monsoon winds, Galle woke up to the pitter-patter of rains and birdsong. Umbrellas were out, puddles were the norm and the moist climate had a distinct bearing on the first Test as play resumed well after the lunch break.
