India Take 178-Run Lead After Bowling Sri Lanka Out for 284 in Galle Test

Manav Suthar (4/76) and Ravindra Jadeja (3/57) led India's bowling attack, with Jadeja reaching 350 Test wickets. Despite early struggles, Sri Lanka's Sonal Dinusha scored a maiden Test century and Niroshan Dickwella added 80, forming a 146-run partnership that helped avoid the follow-on. Rain interrupted play, and India began their second innings aiming to build a strong target.
