- India take 192-run first innings lead

Ind 1st inns: 375-all out (117.4 ovs) vs SL 183 | Scorecard


Kaushal, who has four wickets, comes back. Aaron survives a huge shout for LBW as he comes forward to defend but is struck on the pads. That was very close!

Pradeep, bowling from round the wicket, looks to bounce Ishant with a few short balls directed at his body. He is able to defend it before opening the face and running it through the slips for two, his first runs after 22 balls.

Two slips in place for Kaushal, who is looking to bowl the doosra and get the edge. Aaron is being watchful and defending with caution, getting firmly behind the ball.

However, the plan works as Aaron finally gets the edge and is caught at first slip for four.

India are bowled out for 375 in their innings to finish with a huge lead of 192 runs on a pitch still offering turn and bounce and with three days left.

After a difficult start, Kaushal finishes with good figures of five for 134 in 32.4 overs, while the experienced Herath went wicketless in 33 overs.

Pradeep also bowled well to take three for 98 and his pace partner Prasad was perhaps Sri Lanka's best bowler in the innings despite not getting too many wickets to finish with one for 54 in 22 overs.

India have four overs left before stumps to have a go at the Sri Lankan batsmen with the new ball.
