India Leads Sri Lanka in Galle Test Amid Rain Threat on Day 3
India holds a strong position at 460 for 9 in the first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle, with the focus shifting to bowling on Day 3. Despite India's commanding total, rain has significantly disrupted play on the first two days and threatens further interruptions, potentially affecting the match outcome. India has yet to declare their innings, weighing the need for more runs against the limited time to bowl Sri Lanka out. Weather forecasts predict intermittent rain throughout the day, raising the possibility of a draw.
