A look at the major talking points from the second day's play of the first Test between Sri Lanka and India in Galle: Hardik Pandya was the reason why India could post 600 after being eight down with 517 on the board. On Thursday, Pandya took the challenge head on and with some help from Mohammed Shami, who also had a fun outing, scoring run-a-ball 30. Umesh Yadav trapped Sri Lanka opener Dimuth Karunaratne with an inswinger in his first over just before tea. He went on to score a brisk 49-ball half-century and took India to 600. Abhinav Mukund effected a brilliant run-out and took a stunning catch while fielding at silly point to leave Sri Lanka reeling.
