If all out, Lankan will be pumped up to chase the score

Namra: "If weather permits, India should bat until there are only 20 overs left in the day. This will tire out the Sri Lankan side and allow India to declare, leaving the hosts to face a difficult period on a deteriorating pitch before stumps, further cementing India's command over the match."

IND 462 &189/8(46.5)

CRR:4.04

Day 4: 2nd Session - India lead by 366 runs

Prabath Jayasuriya to Kuldeep Yadav, out Caught by Dhananjaya!! Another one bites the dust, and India are nine down! Kuldeep Yadav c Dhananjaya b Prabath Jayasuriya 5(10)

India all out for mere 193.

The target for SL in the fourth innings is 372!!

As we break for tea, multiple covers are being brought on. This is precautionary for now, but it has certainly gotten dark over the ground. But the good news is that they haven't covered the pitch.

SL have chased down 350-plus target twice in Test cricket: 388 vs ZIM (Colombo RPS, 2017) and 352 vs SA (Colombo PSS, 2006).

The last instance of seamers collectively bagging five or more wickets in the third or fourth innings of a Test in Galle was back in August 2016 (Mitchell Starc 6/50 and Josh Hazlewood 1/13).

14:34 Local Time, 09:04 GMT: Guess what? There won't be any declaration because India have been bowled out!
