SL control over India

Sri Lanka got control of the third and final Test after they stabilized India's batting on the third day. While chasing Sri Lanka's total of 425, India slipped from their score of 180 to 378 at the Sara Oval. India, seeking a series victory after the 10 wicket defeat in the first Test, will resume after the break. Abhimanyu Mithun was unbeaten on 26 and Amit Mishra on 12 at the break.Venkatsai Laxman and Suresh Raina hit half centuries and withstand 105 run after India were reduced to 199.

Indian captain Dhoni made 15 run when he was caught. India suffered quick blows when Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed in the day's first over and century maker Virender Sehwag. Tendulkar thrown at Malinga's sixth delivery and had an easy catch to wicket-keeper Prasanna Jayawardene. Sachin is the world's leading run getter, making a record of 169th Test appearance, scored 41 in a third-wicket stand of 91 with Sehwag. Sehwag reached his 21st hundred in the second over Suraj Randiv for his 18th boundary. Sehwag's 109 would have given him a hundred in each of his last five Tests, had he not been dismissed for 99 in the previous match at the Sinhalese Sports Club.
