Play called off for day 3

17:15 Local Time, 11:45 GMT: Prakash pings and tells us that stumps have been called for Day 3. 257 runs scored and 6 wickets lost on Day 3 of the Test. Sri Lanka kept fighting hard and will be pretty pleased with how the day unfolded. But India are still ahead by 238 runs and will believe that they're well ahead of the game.

Good morning from Colombo. Another humid start to the day with clear-ish skies. But the forecast has rain at different times of the day," greets Prakash from the ground. Yesterday Morne Morkel said the priority for India will be to enforce follow-on IF they can get those two wickets early today. With rain around that's the thinking. His words were: "Hopefully we can get those wickets tomorrow and then be brave, put them in and bowl well."

Saransh Jain to Sonal Dinusha, SIX, he's so good with the sweep. That's why it was surprising when he missed one a couple of balls ago. This is the slog sweep and the key factor was getting under the length
