India tightened their grip on the second Test in Colombo, reducing Sri Lanka to 265/8 in 83.4 overs when rain forced early stumps on Tuesday. Prasidh Krishna and Manav Suthar took three wickets each, with Krishna striking early to dismiss overnight batter Kamil Mishara for 19.
Pasindu Sooriyabandara top-scored for the hosts with 80, adding 87 for the third wicket with Kamindu Mendis before Ravindra Jadeja bowled him. Sonal Dinusha remained unbeaten on 85 for Sri Lanka, who still trail India's first-innings total of 503 for nine declared by 238 runs. The match continues on Wednesday with weather forecast uncertain.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources report the same facts from the third day's play, with Zee News leading on Prasidh Krishna's three-wicket burst, The Hindu providing detailed ball-by-ball colour including verbal exchanges involving Sarfaraz Khan, and Deccan Chronicle presenting a crisp agency wrap with scores. The coverage is uniformly straight sports reporting with no ideological slant. The key numbers to watch are Sri Lanka's remaining two wickets and the 238-run deficit, as rain could reduce the time India need to enforce a result.
The tribunal hears the appeal on 12 September.
