SL 367-all out (82.2 ovs) & 183 vs Ind 375 | Scorecard


Sri Lanka are 352 for eight in 80 overs as India straightaway take the second new ball.

Aaron is called back into the attack to bowl with the second new ball. He gets Chandimal to edge the first ball but it falls short of the fielder at gully. The fourth ball is short as the right-hander pulls it in front of square for a four.

India bring up the field for the last ball trying to deny Chandimal a single and he hammers the last ball down the ground past mid-off for a four.

Pace from both ends as Ishant comes back from the other end. He strikes with the first delivery with the wicket of Kaushal, who throws his bat at wide one but gets an edge and is caught behind for seven.

Lastman Nuwan Pradeep is beaten off the first ball he faces before he drives a full toss through the cover for three runs.

Chandimal gets back on strike and hammers a full delivery over the off-side for a four but misses the next as he tries to flick it on the leg side.

Ashwin cleans up Pradeep with one which skids through straight and crashes into the stumps.

Sri Lanka are bowled out for 367 in their second innings as Chandimal is left stranded on a wonderful innings of 162 from 169 balls, having hit 19 fours and fours sixes.

Ashwin finishes with four for 114 in 28.2 overs to end with 10 wickets in the match after he had taken six for 46 in the first innings.

India need 176 to win the first Test match with around nine overs left on Day 3 and two more full days play left.

It remains to be seen whether Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his injury and would be able to open the batting in India's second innings.

The target is not that big but a few early wickets could easily make it an interesting run chase on Day 4.
