Colombo: Sri Lanka reached 265 for eight when rain stopped play on the third day of the second and final Test against India here on Tuesday. Sri Lanka trailed India's massive first-innings total of 503 for nine declared by 238 runs when the rain interrupted proceedings.

Indian bowlers Prasidh Krishna and Manav Suthar struck early blows to put the Sri Lankan batting line-up under severe pressure, and the home team struggled to recover from there even though Dinusha fought hard to stretch the Lankan innings.
Besides Dinusha, Pasindu Sooriyabandara (80) was the other significant contributor with the bat for Sri Lanka.
