The last over for the day now. Ashwin to bowl this one. Big shout for LBW but India decide to not take a review. The next ball has been hit for a four. And that's it. It's stumps. Sri Lanka end at 28/1. Need 419 runs to win.
That's a fast delivery by Shami and it hits Mendis right in the forearm. The physio running towards him with a spray. Hopefully not much damage has been done. And there's an intruder on the pitch to take a selfie with Kohli while this was going on. Police takes care of it ultimately. SL 24/1 after 6 overs.
Kusal Mendis and Karunaratne have now hit a boundary each as they look to recover from the early jolt of losing a quick wicket. That's the 3rd over gone. Sri Lanka are 12/1 after 3 overs. Need 435 runs to win.
Sri Lanka start their second innings now with Thirimanne and Karunaratneas Bumrah has the ball. Can there be an early breakthrough? Still a bit of time to play tonight. And yes!!! There's a huge appeal for an LBW now. Surely not. And Sri Lanka has been jolted. Thirimanne gone. SL 0/1 after 0.3 overs
And that's it. India declare at 303/9 after Embuldeniya cleans up Axar Patel. India lead by 446 runs. Sri Lanka need 447 runs to win.
Axar is straight off the mark with a four. This follow's Shami's own four a couple of balls back. India are batting deep here whiler Sri Lanka continues to leak runs. And what's Shami done now??? It's a huge six. What a powerful shot. The crowd were chanting for a 6 and Shami obliges. Monster hit into the stand. IND 299/8 after 68 overs. Lead by 442 runs.
That's a review for Shreyas Iyer LBW. On field decision was out and it stands. Shreyas Iyer departs after seeing the giant sceen. Embuldeniya gets the big wicket. Iyer departs for 67 runs. IND 278/8.
India might declare in the coming session. Shreyas Iyer is going strong and Ashwin is playing a supporting hand. IND 272/6 after 64.3 overs
Iyer hits a superb fifty. That's 2 fifties in 2 innings. He is having a great game.

With this boundary, fifty run partnership has come between Jadeja and Shreyas Iyer. Iyer plays it late and chips it through the third man. IND 237/5 after 56 overs
Overpitched, tossed up delivery by Embuldeniya, and nicely put away by Shreyas Iyer. He comes in the line of the ball and hits it nicely over the fence. The other one he pulls over the square leg area. IND 227/5 after 54 overs
That's another four and the lead goes past 350 runs. That was an edge from Iyer and Thirimanne found napping again resulting in the ball going to the fence. IND 211/5 after 50 overs. Lead by 354 runs.
And the 3rd session starts just like the second session. A Sri Lanka bowler bowling a loose delivery and getting hit for a boundary right away. This time from Shreyas Iyer. 200 up for India. IND 203/5 after 48 overs.
Embuldeniya back in the attack. After Rishabh Pant's dismissal this one seems more like a Test match now. There was a review on Jadeja for LBW and that was given not out as we go for dinner break. IND 199/5 after 47 overs.
