Over and out from Colombo - Sri Lanka might have lost the series, but there is plenty for them to draw genuine encouragement from as they look toward the future. Up next, they travel to Rawalpindi for the first Test of two against Pakistan, beginning on 19th November 2026. Right then, this marks the end of two highly absorbing Tests on the Lankan shores. India win it 1-0, but Sri Lanka prevented a clean sweep. But worry not, there's plenty of cricketing action going elsewhere, with the second Test between England and Pakistan underway at Lord's. You can switch tabs and follow all the updates from that game. But from here, we sign off, only to meet again. Cheers!
Chances dented - Shubman Gill is requested to collect the trophy. He does so with grace and walks towards his teammates, who wait for their captain to join them for the photographs behind the CHAMPIONS board. With a draw the eventual result, India's hopes of reaching the WTC final have taken a serious hit. They remain stuck in fifth on the table with their PCT slipping to 51.52. The road ahead looks tricky too. Their next Test assignment is a two-match series in New Zealand, though there is a breather of sorts first, with a couple of white-ball series sandwiched in between. The opening Test in Wellington gets underway on 19th November, before India host Australia for a five-match Test series in January 2027. And with the margin for error all but gone, they will need to win almost every remaining Test to keep their finals dream alive.
The series-winning captain of India - Shubman Gill reflects candidly on a long, draining Test, noting that his side fielded for close to 250 overs and did everything within their means. Looking back, he does not feel there was much they could have done differently. He is quick to highlight the positives too, drawing lessons even from the opposition, calling Sri Lanka's fightback tremendous to witness. On the batting, he singles out Devdutt for a brilliant showing and credits KL Rahul for a solid contribution as well, while also giving full marks to a bowling unit he felt performed admirably throughout. Looking ahead, he speaks of exciting times for this Indian side, stressing the need for consistency in preparation. He flags Manav Suthar in particular, praising the consistency of his bowling and predicting he will be a crucial asset for India in the years to come. On the road ahead, Gill looks forward to the tour of New Zealand in November before a strong home season follows. Adds that India will keep believing in their chances, and a good series there could keep their hopes very much alive. He also explains the thinking behind the follow-on decision, pointing to uncertainty over the weather and concerns about not getting a full game in as the key factors behind that call. He closes by remarking that this is simply the nature of cricket, and in the end, it was Test cricket itself that came out on top.
PLAYER OF THE SERIES - DEVDUTT PADIKKAL walks up to collect his award for his outstanding batting display throughout the series. He scored 328 runs across two matches, including a couple of centuries. Devdutt says it feels great to win the award, although it would have meant more had India managed to win this game. He is happy to contribute to the team's efforts and feels the two pitches were quite similar, with this surface also being pretty slow. Padikkal says playing spin requires a lot of clarity, with plenty of conversations within the team as everyone came in with their own plans. Adds that representing the country is always a matter of pride, while emphasising that the key is to keep working hard, stay focused on what is within your control and make sure you are ready for the next opportunity.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - SONAL DINUSHA deservedly wins the award for his historic batting display, scoring twin centuries in the match. On his preparations, Sonal is quick to share the credit, pointing to the coaching staff and his family as the people who helped him get these runs. He puts it down to the quality of the sessions he has put in, which he feels reflected directly in the runs on the board. Reflecting on Day 5, he is quick to praise the tail enders, crediting their resistance at the crease while noting he simply tried to read the situation and play his own role as best he could. Asked about his record, he admits to being genuinely pleased, saying his only goal was to get runs on the board for the team when they were down. He says that satisfaction stayed with him through the day. On facing India specifically, he keeps it simple, calling it a pleasure as a player to score runs against a side of that calibre.
The captain of Sri Lanka - Dhananjaya de Silva believes it is important to identify and nurture talent for the future, and credits the selectors and coaching staff for allowing the youngsters to come in and express themselves. Feels that the return of the injured players is a good headache to have, with those who played in their absence now making it difficult for them to walk straight back into the XI.
... The Presentation Ceremony ...
A gamble that didn't quite pay off - Was enforcing the follow-on the right call? It is one of those decisions that will invite debate from both sides of the fence. The optimist will argue India had every reason to go for it. A 213-run first-innings lead, tired legs in the Sri Lankan camp and the uncertainty surrounding the weather. The pessimist, meanwhile, will point to the toll it took on India's own bowlers, forced straight back out into the field without the luxury of batting again to rest up, and a pitch that had by then flattened out into a graveyard for anything other than sheer patience. Because spare a thought for India's bowlers too, made to toil through a punishing 243.4 overs across both innings, 89.4 first up and another 154 second time around.
A series won, not swept - India, on the other hand, would be highly disappointed with how the last couple of days panned out. India owned the first two days with the bat, mounting a mammoth 503/9 declared. Devdutt Padikkal set the tone with a magnificent 117, Dhruv Jurel followed with an extremely fluent 115, and Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill both chipped in with valuable runs. With the ball, Manav Suthar was the standout performer of the series, showing a real knack for striking at crucial junctures and finishing with 16 wickets, the most by any bowler in the series and full justification for his selection. Ravindra Jadeja was not far behind either, enjoying a fine series of his own with 8 wickets to his name. Debutant Saransh Jain had to wait patiently for his first Test wicket, but eventually finished with three. Among the pacers, Prasidh Krishna looked the more threatening with his raw pace, while Mohammed Siraj, by contrast, was curiously underused, sent down just 26 overs across this entire match.
The tail wagged and how! Also worth flagging are the contributions from Sri Lanka's lower-order batters. The likes of Keshara Nuwantha, Prabath Jayasuriya and Lahiru Kumara all showed genuine staying power at the crease, holding firm for long stretches across both innings. Frustrating a quality attack like India's is a kind of resistance that is no small feat to achieve. In the second innings specifically, with chips down at 229/6 and just a slender 16-run lead to start Day 5, they dug in remarkably well, with the last four stands lasting almost fifty overs.
Unearthed a gem - After swallowing a bitter pill in Galle, Sri Lanka have responded with an admirable batting performance here in Colombo, and there is plenty for them to draw genuine encouragement. Asitha Fernando's four-wicket haul, Pasindu Sooriyabandara announcing himself in the Test arena and Keshara Nuwantha's gritty resistance with the bat, practically making the case for himself as a batter, all point to a side finding its feet again. But topping it all is one name - Sonal Dinusha. He batted, batted and just kept batting, showing even the seniors in his team how it's done. Sonal Dinusha looks destined for greatness. The composure, technique and temperament he has displayed across this series carry echoes of a young Kumar Sangakkara. It is still early days, but Sri Lanka may just have unearthed a truly special talent for the future. He rarely smiles, and you will not catch him with a fist pump or an animated expression, but make no mistake, he has quietly wiped the smiles off the Indian faces with twin tons in this Test.
And that’s that - The two teams have agreed to a draw. Sri Lanka have come away with a famous draw. 24 hours ago, this did not seem like a possibility, but gritty resistance from Sonal Dinusha and Co. made it possible. India win the series, but they will have to settle for just four points from the draw in this Test instead of the 12 they were searching for with a win. Harsha Bhogle informs that this is only the third drawn Test in Sri Lanka in the last 10 years.

Stumping check! Tossed up a touch, on a good length. Fernando is drawn forward for the block but it rips past the outside edge. Rishabh Pant gathers and whips the bails off. A bit of excitement around the bat and it is referred upstairs. The replays find Fernando to be safe. He did lose his balance as he reached out in front but had his back leg grounded inside the crease.
Kumara gets a pat on his shoulder from Dinusha, who appreciates his resistance. Another admirable lower order contributor for Sri Lanka, who played more than 50 percent of the balls in a partnership that lasted almost 29 overs, that too, on the fifth day. Asitha Fernando is the last batter in for the hosts.

It spins back to catch the inside edge onto the pads. It pops up towards short leg, where Yashasvi Jaiswal stays low and sticks out the right hand to take a low catch. End of a 47-run stand.

Shubman Gill is having a conversation with the on-field umpire, and going by his body language, he looks a touch animated. Perhaps another over-rate warning is doing the rounds again.

So nearly trickled back onto the stumps. Short and around off, Dinusha stays back and defends it late. The ball drops off the face of the blade and spins back towards the stumps after landing on the footmark, but it sneaks past the off stump. Rishabh Pant cheeikly deflects the ball back onto the sticks off the left boot.

In the air... just lands safely! First real shot of aggression from Kumara. Jurel seems to have misjudged the trajectory of the ball or perhaps was a bit late to react. Drifts it across, full and outside off. Kumara gets down on a knee, and his patience runs out as he tries a big slog-sweep but can’t time it. The ball goes off the top edge towards deep mid-wicket, where Jurel sprints to his right and dives, but it lands just out of reach. He manages to get his body in the way and the batters run a couple.

HUNDRED FOR SONAL DINUSHA! A wonderful, wonderful effort from the youngster. That's his 3rd Test century in just his fifth appearance in the longest format. Tears of joy in the eyes of his mother, who proudly watches his son make a mark for his country. The appetite for runs and to just stay out there is just amazing from a 25-year-old batter, that too, against a quality bowling lineup. Coming to the ball, this is full and angling into the batter. Sonal flicks it through mid-wicket and hustles back for the second run. Removes his helmet, and he holds his bat aloft to acknowledge the applause from his family, the crowd and his teammates. A knock that will be remembered for a long, long time to come. Sonal becomes the third Sri Lankan batter to score three centuries in a two-Test series. Aravinda de Silva and Kumar Sangakkara are the other two, with Aravinda having achieved the feat twice.
We are back. Weary bodies for India are understandable, having bowled nearly 90 overs in the first innings and having enforced the follow-on, 133 and counting in the second dig. Mohammed Siraj will get the session underway with the ball. Sonal Dinusha is on strike on 98, with his family watching on from the stands with bated breath. Here we go!
... DAY 5, SESSION 3 ...
The clock is ticking - We have 38 overs left in the day, and a draw looks the most likely result at the moment. Even getting four points from a draw would be quite a result for Sri Lanka, given where they were earlier in the Test. The weather has stayed clear so far, and let’s say it remains that way. Two overs will be lost for the changeover, and even if India have around 190 to chase down in, let’s say, 30 overs, it would be a stretch. The final session of the series will commence at 9.45 am GMT (3.15 pm IST). See you then.
Who would have seen this coming? Starting the day with a 16-run lead and 4 wickets in hand and with India having the second new ball, few would have backed Sri Lanka to make it through two sessions without being bowled out. India made a couple of inroads in the first hour or so after the break, but then ran into the stubborn resistance of Lahiru Kumara, who has repaid the faith shown in him by Sonal Dinusha. Dinusha himself has had to battle cramps and is now closing in on what would be his third century of the series.
9.25 am GMT (2.55 pm IST) - TEA, DAY 5 - Sonal Dinusha walks off to a standing ovation from his teammates and the crowd, and Lahiru Kumara deserves every bit of that applause as well. Another frustrating session for India as Sri Lanka continue to hang in there and, in doing so, have eaten into valuable time.

Oh, what happened there? Full and spinning back down the leg side, Dinusha plays and misses, as the ball beats him through to Pant, who gathers it between his pads. However, the ball then drops down. Jadeja lets out an appeal for caught behind, but for that, Pant needed to grab it cleanly. UltraEdge later shows daylight between bat and ball.

Floated up, full on the leg stump. Sonal is happy to pad it away.
There are 44 overs left in the day, with two of those to be lost during the changeover of innings, if and when that happens.

Dipping full ball, outside off, Sonal Dinusha goes for the reverse sweep, but misses and is struck hard on the chest. We can hear Pant saying - 'glove and chest' - on the stump mic.
Dinusha appears to be in some discomfort out there. Possibly a stiff back. And understandably, the volume of balls he has played so far in this heat is admirable as well as tormenting, but he has hung in there. The physio is out as he lies on the ground. After getting a massage on his lower back and hydrating himself, he is good to resume.

Looks like the umpires have called for the DRINKS BREAK. India have picked up a couple of wickets after a toil-filled, wicketless morning but Sonal Dinusha continues to be the irritant in India’s side, refusing to let them settle. It still looks like a good batting surface, and it's quite unusual not to see any uneven bounce here. Moreover, India have switched tactics to hunt for wickets, tempting the batters into playing scoring shots, which has in turn forced errors. They would want to get the Sri Lankans bundled out before Tea and come out to chase, which, in all likelihood, would be an intense dash with the weather around as well. Let's see how this phase pans out.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Prabath Jayasuriya just couldn't resist and fell into the trap. Fizzed through on a fuller length, around the off stump. Prabath Jayasuriya is lured on the front foot and tries to hammer it through cover, but only manages a thick outside edge as the ball turns sharply. Dhruv Jurel has very little time to react, but grabs a fine catch at gully, to his left. Dinusha, at the other end, drops his gloves in frustration as Sri Lanka are 355/8, leading by 142 runs.

Rappped on the pads! No reaction from the bowler but the men behind the bat but seemed interested. The height seemed to be an issue and Shubman Gill opted against the review. Landing around the line of the leg stump, on a good length and it spins away to square Prabath up on his defence before he is pinged on the back thigh. The Ball Tracking confirms that the ball would have gone over the stumps and Suthar felt so too.
After toiling really hard through a fruitless morning, India finally have a breakthrough and the contest is wide open once more. Prabath Jayasuriya is in at number 9. Came in as a nightwatchman in the first dig and went away as a very unhappy man in the closing stages of the second day.

मानव सुथार To केशरा नुवानथा OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Early success after the break for India. End of Keshara Nuwantha's resistance. Just before this ball, Pant had asked Suthar to push it through, and the latter obliges. This is angled in on a good length around middle. Nuwantha lunges forward and brings his bat out in front, but he can't get to the pitch of the ball. It straightens off the deck with bounce and takes the shoulder of the blade. The ball lobs towards gully, where Dhruv Jurel gobbles it up. End of a 112-run stand. Sri Lanka are 330/7 with a lead of 117 runs.

Hello and welcome back for the afternoon session. The match is delicately poised, and lunch must have tasted all the sweeter for the hosts as the umpires and players make their way back to the middle. Sonal Dinusha and Keshara Nuwantha walk to the crease to resume their marathon partnership which is worth 111 runs. Manav Suthar will get us underway with the first over of the second session. So Sri Lanka lead by 116 runs, as India desperately look to break the resistance. Here we go...
... DAY 5, SESSION 2 ...
Heading towards a Draw? If, and it's a big IF, Sri Lanka can negotiate the afternoon session as well, they will be firmly on course to secure a famous draw here. Should they push their lead past 200, they could even declare and invite India to bat, hoping to bowl them out. However, with rain forecast for the later stages of the day, a draw looks increasingly likely. Even that result would be an honourable one for the hosts, given how deeply they were in trouble after being handed the follow-on. For India, though, it would be a significant dent to their WTC final hopes. Come the second session, they will be eager to wrap up the Sri Lankan innings and set themselves up for a chase. Play is expected to resume at 7.10 am GMT (12.40 pm GMT). Join us then.
Worked hard, but no rewards - India took the second new ball but simply could not trouble the batters with it, and truth be told, neither handled it with much effectiveness nor manufactured even half a chance. In fairness to them, though, they worked extremely hard for it, but the pitch itself has drifted off into a deep slumber, offering precious little even to the spinners. It was indeed striking to see Mohammed Siraj underused, having bowled just 22 overs across both innings. Of the lot, only Jadeja has looked genuinely capable of prising a breakthrough. But nothing to take away from the way these two have batted not only in this match but throughout this series.
Admirable resistance - Sri Lanka kept finding ways to test the patience of the Indians. Dinusha and Nuwantha batted with positive intent and scored at a fair clip, yet married that with real discipline, defending the good ones and leaving what deserved leaving. Fittingly, it was this very duo who had proved just as frustrating for the Indian bowlers in the first innings, through a similarly resolute partnership. Now, they’ve put together an unbeaten 111-run partnership, which also stands as the second-best seventh-wicket stand for Sri Lanka against India in Tests, just behind Hashan Tillakaratne and Thilan Samaraweera’s 194, way back in 2001 at the same venue.
6.34 am GMT (12.04 pm IST) - What a brilliant session for Sri Lanka! The sheer willingness from Dinusha and Nuwantha to simply dig in, block out everything else, and grind through the hard yards is genuinely impressive. More so given how early both still are in their Test careers. The pair has not only worn down the Indian bowlers but have also added exactly 100 runs in 31.2 overs, swelling the lead to 116. India will be thoroughly disappointed with how the session unfolded. Jadeja came agonizingly close to a breakthrough right on the stroke of Lunch, but it was not to be. And the longer the Islanders continue to bat, the more that frustration is only likely to deepen for the visitors.

Given LBW but successfully overturned. Drama in the closing stages of the session. Jadeja angles it in from around the wicket, on a good length, outside off. Nuwantha pads it away. A confident shout and the finger is raised, but hang on, Nuwantha has reviewed it. No shot offered by the batter, but did it come back enough? The Ball Tracking shows that the ball did not come back in with the arm and instead straightened a bit to miss the off pole comfortably.

A prolonged shout for LBW, but turned down. India's desperation was pretty evident in that appeal. It pitched outside the line of the leg stump and was comfortably missing the stumps.

A bit of interest shown by Jadeja but it came off the bat. Flighted delivery, on middle. Sonal leans across to the off side and plays the reverse. It is a bit too full for the shot but he gets it away behind point for a single.
With just around 7 minutes to Lunch, Ravindra Jadeja (26-2-76-1) is back on. Might as well see the seam from the other end.

Dinusha looks to be struggling with some cramps. He limped off while completing the run off the last ball. He gets rid of his gloves and pads and is now down on the ground with the physio out to check him. Meanwhile, the Indian team has huddled up with KL Rahul, the vice-captain, giving a pep talk to his teammates. Shubman Gill is off the field for now and can be seen in the Indian dressing room. Sarfaraz Khan is out as his substitute. Right then, Dinusha is back on his feet. Good to resume with about 18 minutes to Lunch.

Padikkal flings himself to his left but cannot get to it, and the ball scoots away toward the deep fine leg fence.
Ravindra Jadeja returns. It has turned cloudy, but nothing threatening at the moment.

A celebrappeal for caught behind. Siraj pleads and keeps pleading but Ahsan Raza is unmoved. Shubman Gill does not immediately but eventually goes upstairs for a review. Has the bat hit the ground? Yes, it has. UltraEdge shows a flat line when the ball is next to the outside edge, but it does show a spike when the ball grazes the ground. Another excellent piece of umpiring from Raza. Coming to the delivery, this is very full and swinging away a bit, outside off. Keshara Nuwantha tries to smash it through covers, but misses as the ball carries through to the keeper. This will only add to India's frustrations this morning.

DRINKS BREAK! This has been a fine showcase of admirable resistance once again from Sonal Dinusha and Keshara Nuwantha, who have added 55 to Sri Lanka's overnight total. India might start to get a little frustrated as they haven't been that threatening even with the new ball in this first hour. The lead for Sri Lanka is 71 runs, and they would want to pick at least two or three wickets before Lunch. With that said, Mohammed Siraj is back into the attack, replacing Prasidh Krishna.

Dishes out the off-break, full and spinning in. Keshara Nuwantha presents the full face of the bat to block.
We are all set for the action to commence on the final day of the series. Shubman Gill leads his troops out onto the park. They are followed by the two overnight batters, Sonal Dinusha and Keshara Nuwantha. Saransh Jain is at the top of his mark, ready to finish his over. Keshara is on strike. A slip, a short leg and a leg slip in place. Here we go!
In conversation with Manav Suthar - Manav says the wicket in Colombo is different from the one in Galle and has presented a different challenge. Feels the Galle surface was supportive for the spinners and the experience has been a good learning opportunity, particularly in adapting to the pace, line and length required here in Colombo. On the wicket of Pasindu Sooriyabandara, Suthar shares that Gill had an inkling Pasindu would step out, so kudos to him for anticipating it. Shares that he went with his instinct and bowled it fuller and wider, which brought the desired result. Manav says he is enjoying Test cricket and feels the team is growing together. Adds that he is happy to be part of that growth and the progress they are making as a team.
PITCH REPORT - Russel Arnold is near the deck, inspecting the Day 5 surface at SSC. Mentions that the weather looks perfect at the moment, and the pitch has certainly evolved over the course of the game. He observes a few cracks visible, but nothing too significant. Believes that if batters trust their defence, they can survive on this surface. Observes a bit of crumbling on a good-length area at one end, but it does not look particularly dangerous. He says that Sri Lanka will be hoping for some help from the weather, but at the moment, there does not seem to be any rain on the horizon to come to their rescue.
Final words before the battle - The Indian team is huddled together, with head coach Gautam Gambhir later seen alongside the captain Shubman Gill and vice-captain KL Rahul, firing up the troops one final time. India still hold a commanding position in this Test, but there is important work left this morning, wrapping up the Sri Lankan innings as swiftly as possible. Sonal Dinusha has been a genuine thorn in their flesh, and dismissing him early will be right at the top of the agenda. A win here would do wonders for their WTC final aspirations too. There is still a long road ahead, and with tougher assignments looming against New Zealand (2 away Tests) and five Tests in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at home versus Australia, banking these points now feels essential.
How's the weather? After rain swamped the closing stages of Day 4, conditions have turned wonderfully pleasant this morning. It is bright and sunny over Colombo, the sun very much in its glory, the pitch has been uncovered, and everything points towards a prompt start.
India close in - The visitors were able to stave off the Lankan fightback yesterday and prevent the tide from turning. If the old cherry does not provide the breakthroughs, they will have the second new ball at their disposal, which is 7.2 overs away.
Sonal, the last hope - 57 (137) and 58 (112) - these are the two stands Sonal Dinusha was able to put together in the first innings with Keshara Nuwantha and Lahiru Kumara respectively. Sri Lanka will need another similar rearguard effort if they are to have any chance of avoiding defeat.
Time for the final act - Not many Tests go the distance these days. Some do not even see Day 4, let alone Day 5, and in extreme cases, not even Day 3. But here we are for Day 5 action at the SSC in Colombo, with India eyeing the final push towards the finish line while Sri Lanka are right up against it.
... DAY 5, SESSION 1 ...
We move into the final day - Righto, the rain has forced the game to go into Day 5, and at the moment, India will be pretty confident and look to sweep the series. However, there will be that small part at the backside of their minds that if they don't manage to bowl the Lankans out early on Day 5, it could end in a draw, as there is a forecast for plenty of rain. Well, let's hope that it isn't the rain that has the final say, but rather the players from both sides. Day 5 will commence on Thursday, 27 August at 4.15 am GMT (9.45 am IST), but you can join us sooner for the build-up. Cheers!
India roared back post-Tea - After the wicket of Kamindu Mendis, Sooriyabandara slowed down considerably, but skipper Dhananjaya de Silva looked positive and scored at a decent pace. Soon after Tea, though, Manav Suthar caught a lucky break, and DDS had to walk back. This marked a shift in momentum and Sooriyabandara started to get scratchy, eventually falling on 92, and again, Suthar was the one who did the damage. Sri Lanka were soon reduced to 218/6 in 64.2 overs with plenty of time left in the final session, but Keshara Nuwantha and Sonal Dinusha have dug deep, and Sri Lanka have managed to muster up just 11 more runs in 8.2 overs after that. Still, there's a lot of work to do for Sri Lanka as they are just 16 runs ahead. And if they fail with the bat, they would require at least a couple of sessions to be rained out on the final day to save them from the blushes.
Lanka looked good, but couldn't capitalise - Sri Lanka fought well with the bat on Day 3, and they started Day 4 positively as Sonal Dinusha brought up his second century of the series. However, a false shot from Lahiru Kumara gave India the opening they needed, and the visitors managed to enforce the follow-on. In their second innings, Sri Lanka started with 213 runs behind India and even lost an early wicket. Kamil Mishara and Pasindu Sooriyabandara led the counter-punch with a 58-run stand, but the crucial stand came for the 3rd wicket when Pasindu got together with Kamindu Mendis, and they mustered up 115 runs. At that point, the Indian bowlers looked a bit untidy and Manav Suthar, in particular, was getting attacked with some big shots.
11.21 am GMT (4.51 pm IST) - STUMPS, DAY 4 - The intensity of the rain has increased, and no further play will be possible today. That is that for the day. For the second day running, play has been called off in the second half of the final session. India are in a commanding position, but Sri Lanka still have hope of at least drawing the Test match, although it is more of a sliver.
11.08 am GMT (4.38 pm IST) - It has started to drizzle. Off go the players, and on come the ground staff rushing in with the covers. Most of the Indian players are still in the dugout, while Dhruv Jurel and Devdutt Padikkal are taking some time out to sign autographs for the fans. The ground staff continue to bring on more covers as they work to cover the entire ground.

DRINKS BREAK! It has been quite a turnaround since the departure of Kamindu Mendis in the second session. When the partnership between Mendis and Pasindu Sooriyabandara was flourishing, India looked short of answers, but all they needed was one opening. They have since made inroads while keeping the scoring in check. As was the case in the first innings, Sonal Dinusha has once again been left to fight it out with the bowlers. There are 17 overs left in the day, but with dark clouds gathering, it does not look like we will get through all of them. The ground staff are on standby with the covers, but we will carry on for now.

सारांश जैन To निरोशन डिकवेला OUT!
OUT! LBW! This looks pretty straight and it has been given by the umpire. Niroshan Dickwella has reviewed it, though. It is the arm ball by Jain from around the wicket, full and landing around off. Dickwella gets half-forward to defend but the ball comes in with the arm to go past the inside edge and he gets hit low on the front pad. After pinging the front pad, the ball made contact with the inside edge, and perhaps that made Niroshan feel that he had gotten an inside edge. There is daylight between the bat and the ball and there is no need for UltraEdge, says the third umpire. Three reds on Ball Tracking with the ball crashing into the leg stump. Saransh Jain strikes on his return to the attack. Sri Lanka are now 218/6, leading by 5 runs.

OUT! STUMPED! Oh, my! That is a brain fade moment from someone who has been so much in control so far and Pasindu Sooriyabandara has only himself to blame. Sooriyabandara is a bit early to come down the track and Manav Suthar sees him coming. Suthar fires it full and wide outside off and Sooriyabandara is well beaten. Rishabh Pant reaches to collect the ball and whips off the bails. Sooriyabandara departs in the 90s and that could be a huge wicket in the context of the game. Also, before this ball, Rishabh Pant was heard on the stump mic alerting the mid-on fielder as he sensed a big shot coming. Pasindu did give the charge for that but got outsmarted by the bowler.

Jain pulls the length back, bowling it shorter over the stumps. Sooriyabandara goes on the back foot and keeps it out to square leg.
The clouds are gathering in the distance. Farveez Maharoof mentions that they are in the direction from which the rain usually comes, but he feels there is no immediate threat at the moment.

Fired in, fuller and on the pads, Dhananjaya de Silva nudges it towards short leg.
Welcome back for the final session of the day. India’s over rate has been good, thanks to the bulk of the bowling being done by the spinners. There are 34 overs left in the day, and if needed, we can use the extra half hour. Saransh Jain will get the session underway for India. Dhananjaya de Silva is on strike. A slip and a backward short leg in place. Here we go...
... DAY 4, SESSION 3 ...
A big session awaits - This has been a superb fightback from Sri Lanka with the bat, but there is still plenty left to be done if they are to harbour any hopes of a favourable result. After Mendis departed, Sooriyabandara became noticeably cautious. Whether the approaching Tea break or the prospect of a maiden Test hundred played a part is hard to tell, but Sri Lanka will need him to rediscover his earlier aggression. India have their work cut out with the menace of Sonal Dinusha still to come. They will look to make early inroads in the third session and put a lid on Sri Lanka’s fightback. The action will resume at 9.45 am GMT (3.15 pm IST). Do join us then.
What a difference a session can make - A really productive one for Sri Lanka, and for the first time in this Test, we saw India being put under genuine pressure and looking a little rattled. Pasindu Sooriyabandara and Kamindu Mendis picked up where they left off before the Lunch break and continued to be proactive against the spinners. Apart from a few heart-in-the-mouth moments in their 115-run stand, the two batters displayed calculated aggression and picked their battles well. The body language suggested the pressure was beginning to tell on the visitors, but removing Mendis allowed India to regain some control in the remainder of the session.
9.27 am GMT (2.57 pm IST) - TEA, DAY 4 - End of an absorbing session, and this Test continues to keep us intrigued. What will happen next remains anyone's guess, but it certainly gives us plenty to look forward to. Sri Lanka scored 116 runs in 34 overs in this extended session, bringing the deficit down to just 14 runs.

OUT! CAUGHT! A fine catch by Shubman Gill and the short ball ploy finally works for India. Krishna digs it in short, around the left shoulder and gets it high enough to trouble the batter. Mendis presses back for the pull but is rushed, and the ball gets big on him. It is skied behind square leg off the splice of the blade. Gill runs over his left shoulder, keeps his eyes on the ball and stretches his hands out in front to take the catch. He lands hard on the ground but ensures that he keeps hold of the ball. End of a 115-run stand. Sri Lanka are 178/3, trailing by 35 runs.

FOUR! Gets it away. Too straight by Prasidh, angled in at the hips. Sooriyabandara is a bit late on the shot as he swings at it. Gets it away unconvincingly off the inner half and past the diving Yashasvi Jaiswal at leg gully. The deep fine leg fielder gets around but is beaten.

DRINKS BREAK! Midway through this slightly extended second session on Day 4, and at the moment Sri Lanka are dominating with the bat. They trail by just 50 more runs, and Pasindu Sooriyabandara and Kamindu Mendis have wiped up plenty of runs in quick time as well. India are still ahead, but if things continue to play out this way, the deficit will soon be wiped off and Sri Lanka will have a chance to then get ahead for the first time. It's all about wickets, and if India do get a couple before Tea, things could turn around very quickly.

Oh, the Indian players celebrate as they think there's an outside edge, but the umpire remains unmoved. And then, the review isn't even taken, so just a bit of gamesmanship from Rishabh Pant behind the stumps. This is really nicely bowled by Suthar.

Mendis gets down for the sweep but it sneaks under the blade to be hit on the front pad. The Ball Tracker later shows the ball was crashing into the off stump but the impact was umpire's call, so even on review, the on-field call of Not Out would have been upheld.

FOUR! Risk taken but it pays off for Sooriyabandara. Jadeja angles in a full ball, on middle. Pasindu reaches out in front and gets his hands through the line of the ball. Plays it fine of the man at backward point and picks up a boundary.

FOUR! Edged away. Slips it in full, outside off. Sooriyabandara reaches across and brings his bat out in front to block. The ball straightens a touch to catch the outside edge. There is no one at gully and it bounces past KL Rahul at slip before racing away. Not sure whether it would have carried to gully if there had been a man there.

We are back for the post-Lunch session! The umpires are back out in the middle, and so are the players of India. The duo of Pasindu Sooriyabandara and Kamindu Mendis are all set to resume their stay at the crease. There are a few clouds hovering around, and the groundstaff are waiting near the boundary ropes. It will be Ravindra Jadeja to start proceedings with the ball. Let's go...
... DAY 4, SESSION 2 ...
No demons in the pitch - We have seen consistent turn over the last couple of days, but there's been nothing too unusual or surprising, which allows the batters to dig deep and churn out runs. The Lankans have started their second innings positively but have lost a couple of wickets. The next session should be about consolidating and Pasindu Sooriyabandara has looked really good in this Test match. As for India, they will need more from their spinners, especially Manav Suthar, who has been expensive to begin with. The next session might set the tone for the rest of the game, so it should be an interesting watch. Stay tuned as the post-Lunch session is scheduled to begin at 7.10 am GMT (12.40 pm IST).
Sonal leads the way for the hosts - Sri Lanka came into Day 4 with 8 wickets down, with Sonal Dinusha and Lahiru Kumara frustrating the Indian bowlers. Dinusha went into attack mode and notched up his second hundred of the series but Kumara played a few risky shots and got out, paving the way for India to keep the first-innings lead over 200 runs. Saransh Jain picked up the final two wickets and that will do his confidence a lot of good.
6.32 am GMT (12.02 pm IST) - LUNCH, DAY 4 - End of an engrossing first session on Day 4, and Sri Lanka are now 130 runs adrift after India enforced the follow-on. India will feel they are well ahead in the game, but with inclement weather around, with every passing hour, they will feel that they need to press a bit more. For Sri Lanka, it is all about temperament now.

Jain keeps it slow through the air, full and on the off stump. Mendis does not push at the ball with hard hands. He looks to defend close to his body, but the ball spins away a bit to catch the outer half. It goes wide of slip before it is mopped up by the backward point fielder. Single taken. That will be Lunch on Day 4 with Sri Lanka trailing by 130 runs in their second innings.

Good awareness. This is fuller and on off, Mendis presses half-forward and drops it with soft hands in the vacant cover-point region. Jadeja goes after the ball himself. He does not expect the batters to take the second and takes it a bit too casually. The batters are alert enough to sneak in the second run and Mendis gets home before the throw arrives.

Back to around the wicket for the new batter, slips in a full ball, on middle. Mendis lunges for the block.
Just now, the on-air commentators were discussing that it is about how long you can grind it out there in a Test match, and not necessarily how eye-catching the strokeplay is. Mishara falls while looking to keep scoring runs. Also, Kamindu Mendis walks out to bat now.

रवींद्र जडेजा To कामिल मिश्रा OUT!
OUT! LBW! A prolonged appeal and the finger is raised. Kamil Mishara reviews it almost immediately. Where was the impact? From over the wicket, on a length, darted in at the off stump. Mishara plants his front foot across and attempts the sweep, but the ball sneaks under the blade to ping him on the knee roll of the front pad. The UltraEdge confirms that there is no bat or glove involved. It seems to have hit him in line, but is it doing too much? The impact is fine, and the Ball Tracking has the ball clipping the top of the leg stump. It is umpire's call, and the on-field call is upheld. End of an enterprising 58-run stand. Sri Lanka are 63/2 in their second dig, trailing by 150 runs.

Dragged length, turning into off stump, Mishara presses back and punches it down to mid off.
Uh, oh! Mohammed Siraj seems to have hurt himself here. The physio comes out to have a look, and the umpires call for a DRINKS BREAK. Siraj has hurt his rib cage, it seems, and hopefully, he is fine. The Lankan batters have started to take a few more risks now and India won't mind that, as it will bring catching opportunities. India's lead is still 170 runs, so they have plenty to play with, and Siraj has gone off the field for now, but he was on his feet rather than being carried, which is a good sign. Let's get back to the action.

मानव सुथार To पसिंदु सोरियाबंदरा
A tough chance, but DROPPED! Manav Suthar pulls the length back a bit, getting it to turn away from off. Pasindu Sooriyabandara sits down and tries to drag the slog sweep but gets a top edge. Mohammed Siraj at a deepish square leg charges in and springs to his left, barely getting fingertips on it. He's landed with a thud and can't recover the ball quickly, allowing the batters to pick up three runs. Manav Suthar isn't pleased one bit.

मानव सुथार To पसिंदु सोरियाबंदरा
Slightly short, at just 84.9 kph, wide of the off stump. Pasindu Sooriyabandara waits back and pats it down to sweeper cover for a single.
After that early wicket, the Lankans have seen off the first 10 overs pretty well. They still trail by 183 runs and will need this duo of Pasindu Sooriyabandara and Kamil Mishara to take them safely to Lunch.

मोहम्मद सिराज To लहिरू उदारा OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Sri Lanka's opening woes continue. Lahiru Udara falls cheaply. Siraj bends his back and digs it in short, getting it up around the right shoulder. Udara presses back to take the short ball on, but it climbs onto him. He swings across for the pull but takes his eyes off the ball while doing so. He picks out Saransh Jain at deep backward square leg. Jain is in off the ropes, and he takes the catch at waist height. Sri Lanka are 5/1, trailing by 208 runs.
