Rain washes out third day's play

No play was possible on the third day in the second unofficial 'Test' between India A and Sri Lanka A in Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, on Friday, because of overnight rain and a persistent drizzle.

Umpires called off the day's proceedings after a few inspections of the ground.

With the whole of the first day already lost due to rain, chances of a result appear remote in this match.

The first encounter in the three-match series between the two sides ended in a draw at the SSC stadium in Colombo last week.

India A were struggling at 55 for four in reply to Sri Lanka's first innings total of 282 at close of play on the second day, yesterday.
