BENGALURU, India :A record-breaking half century from Rishabh Pant helped India build a commanding lead of 342 runs as the hosts finished the second session at 199-5 on day two of the day-night test against Sri Lanka on Sunday.

Made from 28 balls, his half century was the fastest by an Indian batsman, breaking the record set by Kapil Dev 40 years ago. But Rohit, playing his 400th international match, holed out in the deep to fall four runs short of his half-century before Vihari was bowled by Jayawickrama as he tried to sweep.

A frustrated Kohli could no nothing but give a wry smile as silence descended on the M Chinnaswamy Stadium that had a near-capacity crowd hoping to see the former captain and star of their IPL franchise finally end his century drought.
