LUNCH - DAY 3

SL 108-5 (30 ovs) & 183 vs Ind 375 | Scorecard

Dinesh Chandimal decides to take the aggressive route as he sweeps Ashwin for a four behind square on the leg side. He attempts another sweep but the ball looks to have gone off the gloves and helmet to leg slip. The Indians all go up in appeal but the umpire gives it not out and rightly so as the replays confirm. But hold on, the side angle replays show that the ball could have got a slight deflection from the bat.

Chandimal continues to attack as he comes down the track and heaves Ashwin over midwicket for a four.

Mishra might have got another wicket in his next over. Lahiru Thirimanne gets an inside edge and is caught at silly point umpire Nigel Llong turns down the appeal. This is poor umpiring and the Indians also have themselves to blame partly, having not taken the DRS.

Thirimanne has a close shave as he gets the edge but it falls short of Rahane in the slips. The ball is doing things here and batting has suddenly become very difficult.

Mishra getting a lot of turn and bounce. Chandimal drives one which hits the silly point fielder on the shoes and is caught by the fielder on the off-side. There is an appeal for a catch which is referred to the third umpire and again the benefit of doubt goes to the batsman. The Indians seems visibly disappointed with the decision, even the coaching staff in the dressing room.

Chandimal plays out the over as Sri Lanka go into lunch at 108 for five in 30 overs, still trailing India by 84 runs.

Ashwin once again was India's best bowler, taking two for 43 in 10 overs, including the prized wicket of Sangakkara, who threatened to play a big knock before he was dismissed.

Mishra came back late in the day but snapped up Mathews in his first over of the day and was unlucky to bag another one.

Harbhajan didn't make that sort of an impact on a pitch offering a lot of assistance to the spinners.

With Chandimal looking to attack and Thirimanne struggling to read the spinners, it remains to be seen if Sri Lanka can survive the post-lunch session.
