SL vs India 3rd Test Match

Sri Lanka scored 19 for 1 wicket in their 2nd inning at the end of the day 2 in 3rd and final test against India.

India dismissed Sri Lanka for 135 runs and enforced the follow on, with Kuldeep Yadav taking 4 wickets, Indian media reported. Earlier, Hardik Pandya scored a century to power India to 487.

The slight glimmer of hope that the Lankans had after winning two sessions over India on day one meant nothing on day two as Sri Lanka failed to curtail the Indian tail.

Pandya exhibited excellent temperament to negotiate the first hour of play sensibly combining for a 62-run stand for the eighth wicket with Kuldeep Yadav (26), before he switched to his beast mode taking 58 runs in just 32 deliveries batting with number 11 batsman, Umesh Yadav en route to his maiden first-class triple-figure mark with the help of eight fours and seven sixes.
