India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd Test, Day 3 — As it happened...

It was all about Virat Kohli. The skipper established himself as one of the greats of the game, and he is only 29. On a record-breaking day, he became the first captain to hit 10 hundreds in a calendar year, then matches Brian Lara's record for most double tons by a skipper. These are some of the numbers, but he was pushing for a big win.
