Drinks On Day 3! Sri Lanka have added 50 runs this morning, though they lost Kamil Mishara along the way. Pasindu Sooriyabandara has looked composed in only his second Test innings, while Kamindu Mendis has settled in well at the other end.
India have struggled to create too many chances, with Gill using just three bowlers so far. Prasidh Krishna provided the breakthrough, bouncing out Mishara with a well-directed short ball.
Sri Lanka still trailing India by 445 runs.
India have their third wicket of the morning! Prasidh Krishna goes back to the short ball, and Kamil Mishara cannot handle the extra bounce. The left-hander attempts an awkward fend, gets a glove on it, and Dhruv Jurel completes the catch behind the stumps.
Mishara departs for 19 off 25 balls, and Prasidh now has 2 wickets.
Right then, we are back for live action in Colombo as Day 3 gets underway! Pasindu Sooriyabandara is the new man at No. 4 for Sri Lanka after Prabath Jayasuriya was dismissed just before stumps on Monday.
Prasidh Krishna has the ball in hand for the opening over of the day, but Sri Lanka get off to a positive start, collecting 12 runs from it.
Sri Lanka 20/2 (1st innings), trail India by 483 runs.
Rain caused a delay of more than two hours just before tea on Monday, and the weather could remain a concern on Tuesday as well. According to AccuWeather, Colombo is expected to see showers in the morning and rain again in the afternoon, with a 92% chance of precipitation.
The heated exchange between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Asitha Fernando on Day 1 of the second Test has now resulted in ICC action. After Jaiswal smashed the Sri Lankan pacer for three consecutive fours, Asitha bounced back by dismissing the India opener off the very next ball. What followed was an aggressive send-off and a face-to-face confrontation between the two players.
Both Jaiswal and Asitha have now been fined 25% of their match fees and handed one demerit point each for inappropriate physical contact.

Earlier in the same over, the first LBW appeal came off a 98.17 kmph delivery, the third-fastest by a spinner in the series.
