The Indian bowlers were needed to exhibit more persistence and
patience on the third day if they wanted to fetch the Lankan scalps. The first
session went wicketless as Angelow Mathews and Thirimanne made the Indian bowlers
to work hard. In the post-lunch session, the patience and persistence of the
Indian bowlers paid off: Ishant Sharma rediscovered his rhythm and gave India
the much needed breakthrough by dismissing Thirimanne and then quickly removed
the danger man Dinesh Chandimal and suddenly the Sri Lankans were on the back
foot.
Angelo Mathews kept on fighting hard, but he lacked the ideal support from the other end as wickets kept on tumbling at regular intervals – seven wickets fell for just 65 runs. Amit Mishra, who bowled very well yesterday, plucked four wickets and Mathews’ rock solid presence was brought to an end by
I don’t understand why this guy has been made a laughing
stock? He might not be highly talented, but he’s a hard worker and yesterday,
he bowled brilliantly from one end and never released the pressure. He was
accurate with his line-and-length and at times did pose a threat. You need to
learn to praise that person who works hard.
India have taken a lead of 157 runs and it is supposed to swell more on day 4.
The Lankan batters have a tough task ahead as chasing in the fourth innings
will not be easier.
