Dear KL Rahul I thought it was replay of 1st innings Oh wait, nah it's not #INDvSL

Will Rohit Sharma ever carry his bat? Yes. When? When he is the 12th man, carrying bats to batsmen in the middle.
— Srini Mama (@SriniMama16) August 30, 2015

Three down at 7 and Rohit Sharma walking in must be like the biggest nightmare of any captain that ever played Test Cricket.

And now rain halts play. And it is pouring down heavily. India are 21 for 3 at the moment.

Top 3 dismissed with just 7 runs on the board! #SLvIND pic.twitter.com/mElGzQMSfC

And now Rahane goes. This is not looking good for India.

More trouble now! KL Rahul is castled. India are 2 for 2 as captain Kohli strides out.

1st innings centurion Pujara is out for a second-ball duck. Bad start for India.

India still have a healthy lead of 111.

There's the final wicket. Sri Lanka all out for 201. Excellent recovery considering they were tottering at 47 for 6 at one stage.

That was also Ishant's 300th wicket in First class cricket.

Congratulations Ishant Sharma on your 5-wicket haul! It's been a terrific spell. #SLvIND pic.twitter.com/UI2BLhm7X7

That's Tea! Sri Lanka are still fighting. They are 175 for 8 and Herath is looking assured.

In fact, he is back! Well done Dhammika. Maybe the injury isn't too serious.

We are still not sure if Dhammika would come out to bat.

Amit Mishra is rewarded for his patience. Kaushal Silva is out lbw. Sri Lanka are 8 down.

Kusal top edges Ishant and Virat takes a smart catch. The skipper shows his aggressive side by giving the batsman a send-off.

Ishant Sharma has now bowled 239 "no-balls" in his Test career while delivering 12849 legitimate balls! #IndvSL
— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) August 30, 2015

Ishant Sharma rediscovering that form which made him such a phenomenon in recent years: Bowls 3 no-balls in an over.

Maiden Test fifty for Kusal Perera on his Test debut. Crucial knock.

Stuart Binny's 2nd wicket. 3rd Test wicket. He's gonna make a cool selector one day.
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) August 30, 2015

Ishant's last over before lunch was magnificent. Full of fire. Binny has done what is asked. Fine use of the new ball by India.
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) August 30, 2015

This is a very good fightback by Sri Lanka. Kusal Perera and Rangana Herath are holding firm. Sri Lanka 118 for 6 now.

KL Rahul drops another catch. Kusal Perera this time.

2 criticisms of Ishant have been sloppy wrists & length too short.He seems to have addressed both.Well done Ishant & those who helped him.
— Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) August 30, 2015

Dhammika Prasad walks back retired hurt after getting hit on his fingers. Rangana Herath walks out to bat.

Stuart Binny haters right now... pic.twitter.com/ZpDThUtPF2

In the morning session on the third day at SSC, Colombo only 67 runs scored and 7 wickets lost in 22.4 overs #IndvSL
— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) August 30, 2015

That was the 50th Test wicket for the Binny family (Roger 47, Stuart 3) #IndvSL
— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) August 30, 2015

And on the stroke of lunch, Stuart Binny strikes again to leave Sri Lanka reeling at 47 for 5.

And that by the way is Naman Ojha's first catch in Test Cricket. #SLvIND
— Sportskeeda (@Sportskeeda) August 30, 2015

Ishant comes back and gets the skipper! India are on a roll here! Sri Lanka 45 for 4 now. #SLvIND
— Sportskeeda (@Sportskeeda) August 30, 2015

Stuart Binny gets the crucial wicket of Dinesh Chandimal. But there was an inside edge. Unlucky, but India deserve that luck after what happened at Galle. Sri Lanka 40 for 3 as Mathews joins in.

Dinesh Chandimal is looking to counter attack once again as he quickly moves on to 15 from 19 deliveries. Lanka 30 for 2.

Well and now Umesh strikes for India. Lanka in trouble as both openers are sent packing! Chandimal walks out to bat now.

There it is! Ishant provides the breakthrough! Tharanga fails to capitalize on that dropped chance! #SLvIND
— Sportskeeda (@Sportskeeda) August 30, 2015

India are all out for 312 in their first innings. Pujara remains unbeaten on 145.

OUT! Yadav 4 b Herath; Pujara (145*) becomes 4th batsman after Gavaskar, Sehwag and Dravid to carry their bats through an innings. #SLvIND

Everyone has to read this, and your respect for Pujara will go up 100%. pic.twitter.com/Sb19H0g3pL

Pujara: Sir I remained not out throughout the innings, scored 145, 4th Indian opener ever ! Shastri: Play Ranji. Learn to bat with the tail
— The-Lying-Lama (@KyaUkhaadLega) August 30, 2015

Pujara is at mid-wicket still wearing his helmet. You'll have to get him out for him to take it off #SLvIND #INDvsSL @IExpressSports
— Bharat Sundaresan (@beastieboy07) August 30, 2015

Now that is a comeback! @cheteshwar1 carries his bat.
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) August 30, 2015

Dropped! KL Rahul gives Tharanga a reprieve in the very first over.

Rain has played a crucial role in this Test and thus we have had only 95 overs of play possible over the course of two days. Hopefully, we can have a full day's play today. Indian fans would be hoping for some quick runs from the bat of centurion Cheteshwar Pujara.

Welcome to our live coverage of the 3rd day's play from the final Test between Sri Lanka and India.
