New Delhi: On day two of the second Test between India and Nagpur, hosts will look to build a mammoth 1st innings total. India will be eyeing to go past Sri Lanka’s 205 and take the lead. The Indian trio of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma ran through Sri Lanka’s batting line-up to put India in the driver’s seat on the opening day of the second Test at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) stadium.
