Tea: Sri Lanka 270 for 4 (Chandimal 98*, Samarawickrama 4*) trail India 536 for 7 dec by 266 runs
Angelo Mathews ended a long and difficult wait for his eighth Test hundred and Dinesh Chandimal moved to within two runs of his tenth, as Sri Lanka finally showed India the batting quality they had kept hidden away all through this tour. With generous fielders helping them along, captain and ex-captain added 181 in 79.1 overs before R Ashwin struck in the fifth over before tea to remind Sri Lanka of the task that still looms before them.
Two-thirds of the way into day three, Sri Lanka were 270 for 4, still trailing India by 266 runs.
