Dinusha and Dickwella share unbeaten 124-run stand
Sonal Dinusha and Niroshan Dickwella rescued Sri Lanka on day three in Galle by sharing an unbeaten 124-run sixth-wicket partnership that took the hosts to 215/5 at tea and reduced their deficit to 248 after India posted 462 in the first innings. Both batters reached fifties — Dickwella his 23rd Test fifty in 67 balls and Dinusha his second Test fifty in 92 balls — and survived some dropped chances while stabilising the innings. Earlier spinner Manav Suthar had taken regular wickets to leave Sri Lanka 99/5, making the stand a crucial recovery.
