Rain wreaked havoc at Galle, but India surged to 460/9. Padikkal’s masterclass 167 anchored the innings, while Jurel’s gritty half-century kept momentum alive despite weather-induced interruptions. Sri Lanka’s spinners fought back on a tricky surface, forcing the visitors into a tactical stalemate. With time running out, India must now choose: declare early or push for more runs. The clock is officially ticking.
