Sonal Dinusha led Sri Lanka's resistance on Day 3 of the second Test against India in Colombo on Tuesday, finishing unbeaten on 85 runs at stumps.

Sri Lanka ended the day at 265 for eight, needing another 39 runs with two wickets left to avoid the follow-on.

Dinusha faced 137 balls, hitting six boundaries and two sixes, continuing an impressive run following scores of 100 and 84 in the first Test in Galle. He was joined at the crease by Lahiru Kumara, who was unbeaten on eight, after sharing a crucial 57-run partnership with Keshara Nuwantha, who contributed 18 runs from 74 balls. Teammate Sooriyabandara also showed character by scoring 80 runs from 133 balls with nine boundaries.

Play was brought to an early end due to rain and bad light as thick dark clouds settled over the Sinhalese Sports Club, adding weather uncertainty to the remainder of the Colombo Test.
