India Vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 1st Test Day 4: IND 462 & 85/3 (23)

Shubman Gill's struggles against Prabath Jayasuriya continued as he fell lbw for 8 off 20 balls, marking his second failure of the Test. Attempting a sweep against an 82.5 kph delivery that drifted in, pitched on a length around middle, and spun away, Gill missed the ball completely and was struck flush on the hip/tummy. After a brief chat with DDP, he opted for a review, but UltraEdge confirmed no under-edge and ball-tracking lit up three reds showing it hitting the top of middle and off, costing India a review.

KL Rahul's aggressive knock came to an end for 35 off 47 balls (two fours, two sixes) when he perished trying to loft Prabath Jayasuriya over the infield. Capitalizing on astute captaincy by DDS that brought mid-on in, Rahul shimmied down the track only to have his bat twist at the point of impact off the outer half. The miscued aerial shot drifted toward deepish mid-off, where substitute fielder Milan Rathnayake comfortably settled underneath it to complete the catch

Huge escape for Rahul! Jayasuriya gets one to drift in and beats him on the inside edge before striking the pads. Rahul isn't convinced about the review, but Devdutt Padikkal urges him to take it.

No bat involved, impact is in line, but ball-tracking shows the delivery missing the top of the stumps. Rahul survives and gives Padikkal a big hug in relief.

Devdutt Padikkal and KL Rahul are building the innings nicely. Prabath Jayasuriya to Rahul, and it's a six. Tossed up by the left-arm spinner and Rahul gets right to the pitch of the ball, launching it straight back over the bowler’s head for a towering maximum.

Big wicket for Sri Lanka! Asitha Fernando gets Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck. Jaiswal chases a wide delivery without moving his feet and edges it behind, where Niroshan Dickwella takes a sharp low catch. A dream start for Sri Lanka as India lose one of their key batters for 0 off 3 balls.
