IND vs SL Highlights, 1st Test Day 3: Sonal Dinusha's ton pulls Sri Lanka to 284, India take 178-run first innings lead

Rain incoming. The skies turn dark in no time and is looking threatning now. The groundsmen have covered the whole ground and are putting tyres on it. Rain is expected with strong winds. As expected, the umpires have called it stumps on Day

OUTTT!!! Manav Suthar takes the final Sri Lankan wicket as the hosts are all out for 284 in the first innings. India take a lead of 178 runs. Meanwhile, the groundsmen are covering the ground for safety although there is no rain at the moment. Having said that it is cloudy.

OUTTTT!!!!! Sonal Dinusha walks back after a brilliant knock of 100. Ravindra Jadeja traps him in front. SL 274/9

Hundred for Sonal Dinusha. What a knock this has been from the 23-year-old. Maiden Test hundred from Dinusha - one of the architects of Sri Lanka's turnaround. OUTTT!!!! Prabath Jayasuriya is out next ball from Manav Suthar, caught by Dhruv Jurel. SL 274/8

Sri Lanka have avoided the follow-on as Sonal Dinusha enters nineties. It has been a great day for cricket so far despite some rain concerns. SL 264/7

OUTTT!!! Looks like the floodgates have opened. One more Sri Lankan batter bites the dust. Keshara Nuwantha is caught by Shubman Gill, off Ravindra Jadeja. SL 243/7

OUTTTT!!!! Finally, Prasidh Krishna gets the breakthrough. Niroshan Dickwella gets an edge to Rishabh Pant for 80. The 146-run stand is broken. Time for India to put the pressure back on the hosts. SL 239/6

Not a single wicket fell in the second session for Sri Lanka. After it looked like that India would enforce a follow on after taking five wickets in the first session, the hosts rebuild through Niroshan Dickwella and Sonal Dinusha with an unbeaten 124-run stand. With 30 more overs to go in the final session, the Indian bowlers are in search for a breakthrough in Galle. SL 232/5

Shubman Gill tried Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj for a while to give the spinners some rest. But the move didn't paid much as Sri Lanka continue their good form as the hosts reach 200. This is the second time that Sri Lanka have had a century stand for the sixth wicket after losing their first five wickets for under 100 against India. SL 205/5

Fifty for Sonal Dinusha too, his second in Tests. Along with Niroshan Dickwella, Dinusha hold the fort together to rebuild Sri Lanka after a disastrous first session in Galle. Dinusha draws a good round of applause from the crowd and his team. He gently raises the bat and acknowledges the applause. SL 184/5

Fifty for Niroshan Dickwella, his 23rd in Tests. The Sri Lankan wicketkeeper has been busy post lunch as hosts rebuild after a top-order collapse. SL 174/5

150 comes up for Sri Lanka as the pair of Niroshan Dickwella and Sonal Dinusha are frustrating the Indian spinners post lunch. The pair have already added more than 60 runs for the sixth wicket. SL 151/5

Niroshan Dickwella and Sonal Dinusha have resumed in the second session. From 99/5, the Sri Lankan batters have added 29 runs so far. India would hope that the spinners get more success. SL 128/5

Lunch has been taken on Day 3. Sri Lanka have half of their batting back in the hut as they reach 99/5. For India, Manav Suthar picked up two wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj got one apiece. Meanwhile, dark clouds are hovering over the ground. There's a strong wind blowing as well and the groundsmen will cover the whole ground.

OUTTTT!!!!! India are dominating in Galle on Day 3 with spinners ruling the roost. Dhananjaya de Silva is caught by KL Rahul, who grabs a low catch. TV replays also show the catch is being caught clean. The hosts are in total disarray as Ravindra Jadeja takes his first of the day. The skipper depart for 21. SL 90/5

OUTTTT!!!! Wickets galore in Galle. After Manav Suthar's two, Kuldeep yadav has gotten into business as Kamindu Mendis is caught by Shubman Gill brilliantly. The Indian captain dives full length on his left to take a one-handed catch at extra cover. Mendis walks back for 14 as Sri Lankan fans are in disbelief. SL 62/4

Fifty come sup for Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, India have deployed spin from both ends in the form of Kuldeep Yadav and Manav Suthar. And it has worked for Shubman Gill. Lahiru Udara is caught by Yashasvi Jaiswal for 27. Suthar gets his second wicket of the day. Udara can't believe it. SL 53/3

OUTTTT!!!!!! Another early wicket for India and its Manav Suthar. Playing just his second Test, Suthar strikes on his first ball of the day as Dinesh Chandimal is caught by Rishabh Pant. Chndimal gets forward for a defence, but the ball drifts away, takes an inside edge and into the gloves of Pant. Certainly some start for India. SL 31/2

What a start for India! After being bowled out for 462, Mohammed Siraj gives India an early breakthrough in the second ball of the Sri Lankan innings. Nishan Fernando is caught by Devdutt Padikkal for nought. SL 0/1

Unlike Day 2, the match starts on time today. Overnight batter Prasidh Krishna is the last Indian batter out, caught by Niroshan Dickwella. India have been bowled out for 462.
