India vs Sri Lanka 2022 2nd Test Day 3 Ind vs SL Test Live Score Updates: India are just four wickets away from registering a comprehensive win over Sri Lanka on Day 3 of the ongoing second Test at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Axar Patel struck twice after Tea to dismiss Niroshan Dickwella and Charith Asalanka, respectively. Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne, however, continues to fight a lone battle for the visitors and is edging closer towards his hundred. In the first session, Ravichandran Ashwin got the better of Kusal Mendis and Dhanajaya de Silva, respectively, while Ravindra Jadeja knocked over Angelo Mathew for 1. India need 6 more wickets to win the match and seal the series. Earlier, the Indian team ended Day 2 on a high with the all-important wicket of Lahiru Thirimanne, who was dismissed by Bumrah for a duck. Earlier on the second day, the Indian batters lower down the order contributed significantly to help the team go past the 300-run mark and set a challenging total for the visitors to chase. Initially, India had posted a first innings total of 252, on the back of Shreyas Iyer’s 92-run knock. (LIVE SCORECARD)

This one turns and jumps sharply, and takes the glove through to backward short leg. It is on a length, on middle and off, and his pace means Asalanka has no time to adjust. Rohit takes a fine catch.
