6.27pm That's also the dinner break. Sri Lanka took six wickets in that session but a whopping 159 runs. I really strain to remember when last I saw such poor bowling on a turning pitch. Frequently allowed to score risk-free runs off the back foot, India have a huge total on the board for this pitch. There is only one jack in the box, though: dew. Can there be enough dew here to render the spinners ineffective? That will be a jackpot Sri Lanka would love to hit. Hemant Brar will bring out the first hour post resumption. He will be here a little after 7pm. Play resumes at 7.07pm.

Jayawickrama to Iyer, OUT, oh he tries the first of those two hits, and is stumped. This is actually well bowled, slow in the air, getting the ball to dip short of his reach and then the pitch turns it a long way to leave him stranded

SS Iyer st †Dickwella b Jayawickrama 92 (134m 98b 10x4 4x6) SR: 93.87

Iyer just two hits away from a sensational hundred. Jayawickrama over the wicket

Embuldeniya to Iyer, 1 run, this is ordinary. The field doesn't come for the last ball of the over, and Iyer takes the easy single to deep midwicket

Embuldeniya to Iyer, no run, Iyer down the wicket, and he spears it into the pads

Embuldeniya to Iyer, no run, shaping up to play the reverse, and then makes a late decision to ramp this over the keeper's head. Beaten

Embuldeniya to Iyer, 2 runs, excellent batting again. Down the wicket, making room, drives it past extra cover. Lakmal runs to his left from his long-off and puts in a dive to save two runs. Iyer into the 90s

Embuldeniya to Iyer, SIX, superb hit. This is not a bad ball. On a length, on off, but Iyer gets close enough to it, gets the front leg out, and lofts him over long-off

Past dinner time but we can push play for an extra half hour to get this last Indian wicket
