India Leads Sri Lanka by 238 Runs in Second Test at Colombo
India dominated the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo, posting a massive 503 for 9 declared, with centuries from Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel. Sri Lanka showed resistance on Day 3, led by half-centuries from Pasindu Sooriyabandara and Sonal Dinusha, reaching 265 for 8 but still trailing by 238 runs. Rain and bad light ended play early, with Sri Lanka needing around 38 runs to avoid the follow-on as India aimed to enforce it and maintain control heading into Day 4.
