India four wickets away from victory in Sri Lanka Test
- On Wednesday, India pushed closer to victory in the first Test at Galle after Ravindra Jadeja broke the partnership between Sonal Dinusha and captain Dhananjaya de Silva, reducing Sri Lanka to 175 for six at lunch.
- Chasing a distant target of 372, Dinusha and de Silva frustrated Indian bowlers by adding 95 runs off 202 balls, denying the visitors success for well over an hour into the opening session.
- De Silva reached his fifty in 125 balls before Jadeja found a way past his defense; his top-edged sweep ended in the hands of Manav Suthar at short fine leg.
- Four overs later, pacer Prasidh Krishna claimed the next wicket when Niroshan Dickwella edged a delivery to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, leaving Sri Lanka at 175 for seven.
- Sonal Dinusha remained unbeaten on 65 from 112 balls at lunch, while Keshara Nuwantha faced 27 deliveries to keep him company as Sri Lanka seeks to salvage a draw.
