Watch Sachin Tendulkar 48th Test century & Virender Sehwag 99 to Boost India
Sachin Tendulkar hit his 48th Test century and Virender Sehwag made 99 to boost India's hopes of avoiding defeat in the second Test against Sri Lanka.
India, chasing 642-4 declared, began well until Sehwag fell to Suraj Randiv, just one run shy of a 21st Test ton.
Murali Vijay (58) and Rahul Dravid (3) were both out in quick succession.
But Tendulkar's classy 108 not out in an unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 141 with debutant Suresh Raina (66no) helped India to 382-4 by close of play.
India resumed on 95-0 needing a further 338 runs to avoid the follow-on after the Sri Lankans dominant batting on the first two days in Colombo.
They were looking steady with Sehwag beginning in aggressive fashion, ably supported by Vijay.
But he attempted to bring up his century with a blazing shot and was beaten by the flight and stumped by Prasanna Jayawardene as Randiv claimed his first Test wicket with his first ball of the day.
Ajantha Mendis then stepped up to the plate to deal India a further blow, trapping Vijay plumb lbw for 58.
