Twitter reacts as Pujara and Vijay put the audience to sleep
The Twitterati, along with the Sri Lankan cricket team, were "put to sleep" by the marathon 209-run partnership between Cheteshwar Pujara and Murali Vijay for the second wicket. After Vijay departed, Virat Kohli joined the party and helped India put up a total of 312/2 at the end of Day 2.
Brief Scores : Sri Lanka 205/10 (Dinesh Chandimal 57, Dimuth Karunaratne 51; R Ashwin 4/67, R Jadeja 3/56) trail India 312/2 (Murali Vijay 128, Cheteshwar Pujara 121* ; P Gamage 1/47, Rangana Herath 1/45) by 107 runs.
Here are the tweets from the game:
Couldn't describe their batting better than this! What a start to day 2!
Rahul Dravid - The Wall

So Murali Vijay and Pujara are the Asian Paints painting that wall😍😍🏏🏏
Pure test match class
Murali Vijay does it so easily! Can't believe that he just came back from an injury!
I would pay money to watch a Murali Vijay cover drive. Heck I will pay money to watch him leave an outswinger.

So, what type of food
Sehwag scoring hundred in a session is fast food. Quick, useful, tasty.

Pujara taking an entire day for a hundred is slow cooked Biriyani. Timeless and eternally delectable.
Meanwhile, Indian fans
