SL 209-2 (60 ovs) and 183 (49.4 ovs) India 622-9 decl (158 ovs) | Scorecard

This has been a good fight back by Sri Lanka as they end Day 3 at 209 for 2 at stumps.

Opener Dimuth Karunaratne (92 batting) and night-watchman Malinda Pushpakumara (2 batting) are at the crease at close.

They scored 91 runs and lost 1 wicket in the last session of play.

Lanka dominate play post lunch and gave India no chance of getting back into the game. Thanks to centurion Kusal Mendis and opener Karunaratne, Lanka have crawled their way back into this Test.

Jadeja bowls the last over to Pushpakumara who looks a little uneasy facing the spinner.

There is turn and bounce and there are lots of fielders around the bat.

Ashwin bowls short and Karunaratne cuts it for a boundary through point.

Jadeja continues and the ball is doing a few things now.

It's bouncing, turning and Pushpakumara is challenged.

Ashwin continues and the pressure is now back on Sri Lanka to play out the last four overs without losing any more wickets.

Pushpakumara opens his account with 2.

Jadeja continues.

Karunaratne reverse sweeps and is foxed but gets a lucky boundary past leg slip.

Sri Lanka have sent in the night-watchman in Pushpakumara.
