LUNCH - DAY 3

SL 47-5 (18 ovs) vs India 312 | Scorecard

Binny doing a steady job with the ball, creating a few problems in between while keeping it tight from his end.

Yadav gets a breather as he makes way for Ishant as Kohli decides to hold back spin and get the fast bowlers as much use of the new ball as possible.

Ishant comes back and he strikes with his very first delivery. He bags the key wicket of captain Angelo Mathews, who is caught behind for one, to give Naman Ojha his first catch in Test cricket.

A perfect delivery which moves away enough from the right-hander, who is forced to have a poke at it but only edges it.

That is a big blow for Sri Lanka, who are reduced to 45 for four in the 17th over.

Ishant peppers new batsman Lahiru Thirimanne with a few short balls which he ducks under. He looks to defend one but pops it on the leg side where Pujara at short leg nearly pulls off a stunner.

Binny's persistence is finally rewarded. Binny tempts Karunaratne with a wide outswinger which he goes after but gets an edge and is caught by Rahul at second slip for 11.

Sri Lanka are left tottering on 47 for five in 18 overs at the lunch break on Day 3, still trailing India by 265 runs.

All the pacers were superb with the ball, with Ishant and Binny claiming two wickets apiece, while Yadav was unlucky to get only one wicket.
