India Leads Sri Lanka After Day 3; Dinusha Scores Century Before Follow-On Enforced
On Day 3 of the second Test in Colombo, India maintained control as Sri Lanka reached 265 for eight, trailing by 238 runs. Prasidh Krishna and Manav Suthar led India's bowling with three wickets each, while Sri Lanka's Sonal Dinusha (85*) and Pasindu Sooriyabandara (80) resisted effectively. Rain curtailed play early, preventing India from enforcing the follow-on immediately. On Day 4, Dinusha scored his second century of the series, but Sri Lanka were bowled out for 290, allowing India to enforce the follow-on with a 213-run lead.
