India Vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, 2nd Test Day 4: Sonal Dinusha Creates History With Second Century | SL 284/8

And Sonal Dinusha has done it again! A magnificent century under pressure, bringing up his hundred with a powerful pull off Prasidh Krishna. What a series this has been for the Sri Lankan batter — 100, 84 and now another 100! It has been another composed and largely flawless innings, and Dinusha becomes the latest batter to register multiple Test hundreds in his first two Tests against India. Sri Lanka's fightback continues, and the Colombo crowd rises to applaud a truly special knock!

The players are out in the middle and we are ready to resume on Day 4! It is slightly overcast in Colombo, and with the covers having been on earlier, India’s bowlers will hope there is some assistance on offer. A quick huddle from the visitors before taking the field, and Ravindra Jadeja is set to complete his over. Two slips and a short leg in place, India are clearly hunting for early wickets. Here we go!

A cooler morning greets the players in Colombo, with the sun yet to fully break through. Rain could interrupt play at times, while the pitch has remained largely unchanged over the first three days, apart from a noticeable drop in bounce. The spinners may have to work hard for rewards, making patience and discipline crucial on Day 4.

And there’s the history-making moment! Sonal Dinusha enters a rare club after going past 80 once again against India. He is now only the third batter to score 80-plus in each of his first three Test innings against India, joining the legendary Zaheer Abbas and Everton Weekes. What an incredible start to his Test career!

Sri Lanka resumed the day at 8/2 and recovered through Pasindu Sooriyabandara and Kamindu Mendis, who added 87 runs for the third wicket. Sooriyabandara went on to score a fighting 80, while Prasidh Krishna struck three times to keep India ahead in the contest.

Sonal Dinusha then produced another determined knock, remaining unbeaten on 85 as Sri Lanka reached 265/8 before rain and bad light brought an early end to the day's play. The hosts still trail India's declared total of 503/9 by 238 runs and need 38 more runs to avoid the follow-on.

The 2nd Test between India and Sri Lanka will be telecast live on the Star Sports Network and will be streamed live on the Sony LIV app and website in India. The live action of Day 4 will begin at 10:00 AM IST.

Hello, we’re back with another live blog! It’s India vs Sri Lanka, Day 4 of the much-awaited second Test at Colombo, so stay tuned for all the live updates.
