TEA - DAY 3

SL 263-6 (58 ovs) & 183 vs Ind 375 | Scorecard

Mubarak paddle sweeps the second ball from Mishra to fine leg for two runs and nearly pops that one but it just about goes over Rohit at short leg for a single.

The left-hander again turns Ashwin fine on the leg side for three runs. The last ball is short and wide as Chandimal crashes it through the covers for a four to take his score to 97 from as many balls.

Mubarak gives Mishra the charge and lofts him over midwicket for a four as Sri Lanka reach 263 for six in 58 overs at the tea break on Day 3 with a lead of 71 runs.

Chandimal has been instrumental in Sri Lanka's fightback, scoring 98 from as many balls, having hit 11 fours and two sixes. Mubarak has been positive as well, scoring 23 from as many balls.

Earlier, Thirimanne scored 44 and put on 125-run stand for the sixth wicket with Chandimal to revive the Sri Lankan innings.
