Mishra to start off proceedings in the post-tea session. Herath takes a single from the first ball before Prasad lofts the third ball over the leg side for a four. He gets one to turn sharply going past the edge of the bat as Indians go up in appeal for caught behind but the umpire turns it down.

Ishant from the other end and he completes his five-wicket haul, his seventh in Tests, with the wicket of Herath.

The left-hander is unlucky to miss out on a half-century, as he is caught behind for 49 courtesy of a superb diving catch from wicketkeeper Ojha. He dives full length to his left and catches it in front of the first slip fielder.

New batsman Nuwan Pradeep is greeted by a bouncer which he decides to sway out of the way of.

Sri Lanka are 183 for nine in 50 overs, still trailing India by 129 runs.
