# India bowl Sri Lanka out for 329 in 2nd Test Day 3 2026-08-25T06:03:50+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Prasidh Krishna struck twice as Sri Lanka slumped to 173/7 at tea on Day 3 of the second Test in Colombo, still 330 runs behind India’s massive first innings total of 503/9 declared. Kamil Mishara was out for 18, while earlier Mohammad Siraj and Manav Suthar had removed openers Lahiru Udara (34) and Kamindu Mendis (29). India had begun the day in control after overnight rain delayed the start. Captain Shubman Gill's decision to bat first paid off as Devdutt Padikkal (117) and Dhruv Jurel (115 not out) had put on a century partnership on Day 2. Sri Lanka now face the prospect of an innings defeat unless their remaining batsmen can mount a fightback.
