India 251-5 (69 ovs) & 172 vs SL 294 | Scorecard

It has been another good session for the Sri Lankan as they picked up four wickets in the morning session. Lakmal was once again the wrecker-in-chief with the ball for the visitors as he picked up three wickets.

India were 251 for five in 69 overs at the lunch break for an overall lead of 129 runs.

Captain Kohli kept India afloat with a solid innings of 41 while wickets fell around him in the morning session on Day 5.

Rahul again failed to convert his half-century into a triple figure mark as he was bowled by Lakmal for 79, who then scalped Pujara (22) and Rahane (0) in a single over.

Ravindra Jadeja promoted to No. 6 failed to make most the opportunities as he fell after scoring just nine.

Except for a batting collapse for India immediately after lunch, the Test match looks set for a tame draw with not much time left to push for a result.
