2nd Test: Sri Lanka Close At 265/8 But India Remain In Control As Rain Cuts Short Day 3
Sinhalese Sports Club: Sri Lanka mounted a determined resistance on the third day of the second Test against India to reach 265/8 at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo, but India remained firmly in command despite rain forcing an early close with the hosts on 264/8 on Tuesday.
A total of 257 runs were scored for the loss of six wickets on Day 3, with Sri Lanka's lower-order frustrating the Indian attack for long periods. India still hold a substantial 238-run lead, leaving them in a strong position heading into the fourth day.
The biggest source of resistance was Sonal Dinusha, who continued his impressive run against India with a composed unbeaten 84 off 135 balls. The left-hander showed considerable patience while also using the sweep effectively against the Indian spinners.
