SL 319-8 (73 ovs) & 183 vs Ind 375 | Scorecard


Chandimal continues to torment the Indian spinners with the reverse sweep. This time he plays a powerful switch hit and clears the fielder at deep point as it goes all the way for a six. He reverse paddles the next ball fine for two runs.

Ashwin gets a break as pace is introduced in the form of Ishant. The first ball is short and wide which Chandimal hammers through the covers for a four. He drives the next ball powerfully down the ground and Ishant gets his boot on the way to save some runs.

Ishant tests Herath with some bouncers but the left-hander is happy to duck under it.

Kohli ringing in the changes as Mishra replaces Harbhajan and he decides to bowl from round the wicket, in the rough outside the leg stump to Chandimal.

Mishra gets the wicket of Herath, who is caught at first slip by Rahane for one.

Rahane manages to set a new WORLD RECORD, claiming his eighth catch of the match, a feat never achieved before in Test cricket.

Sri Lanka have a lead of 127 runs with just two wickets in hand. It remains to be seen if Chandimal go on an all-out attack and score some quick runs.
