Resuming the post-Tea session at 151/4, Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne and Niroshan Dickwella struck a 50-run partnership for the fifth wicket. The 55-run partnership was broken by left-arm spinner Axar Patel who dismissed wicket-keeper batter Dickwella for 12 after he was stumped by wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant. Charith Asalanka joined his skipper but could not do much as he became the second victim of Axar Patel, caught by Rohit Sharma for 5 to put Lankans in further trouble at 180/6.

Shreyas Iyer, meanwhile, followed up his first-innings score of 92 with a 67 to smash the second consecutive fifty. However, it was heartbreak for his second home Bengaluru as Virat Kohli could only manage 13 in the second innings. Thus, Virat Kohli lost the moniker of only batsman to have 50+ average in all three formats. He currently has an average of 49.95 in Test.
However, with Axar Patel’s wicket, Rohit Sharma had enough and he called his troops back to declare at 303, leading Sri Lanka by a mammoth 442 runs.

Their resistance lasted just three balls as Jasprit Bumrah’s 140kph-stunner had Lahiru Thirimane back to the pavilion without any score. From there, captain Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis saw off the evening with 28/1. In the remaining three days, Sri Lanka will be chasing 419 runs with nine wickets left.
For India, it will be about how soon they can wrap the match up and go back home before entering another bio-bubble for IPL 2022.
