Sonal Dinusha’s unbeaten 133 helped Sri Lanka hold India to a hard-fought draw in the second Test in Colombo on Thursday, as the hosts finished on 429/9 after frustrating the visitors throughout the final day. Resuming at 229/6, Dinusha added 112 runs with Keshara Nuwantha (46) before standing firm to complete his third century of the series and second of the match. India, who had taken a 213-run first-innings lead and enforced the follow-on, managed only a few breakthroughs as Dinusha and Lahiru Kumara (2) ensured the draw. Manav Suthar and Ravindra Jadeja claimed three wickets each, but India had to settle for a 1-0 series win.

Real Madrid began their home campaign in the 2026-27 La Liga season with a convincing 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabeu, powered by a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick. The hosts endured a difficult opening spell and were punished after failing to make their early chances count. Mbappe finally broke the deadlock in the 40th minute, but Luka Sucic quickly pulled Sociedad level as Madrid went into the break under pressure. Jose Mourinho’s side returned with far greater intensity after half-time. Mbappe restored the lead following a neat combination with Jude Bellingham before Vinicius Jr. made it 3-1, tapping home from another Bellingham assist. Mbappe then completed his hat-trick in the 80th minute with a composed chipped finish to seal the result. The win marked Mourinho’s first home match back in charge at the Bernabeu and gave Real Madrid a strong early-season boost.

India finished Day 4 in a strong position despite Sri Lanka reaching 229/6 and taking a 16-run lead after being forced to follow on. Pasindu Sooriyabandara’s 92 and Kamindu Mendis’ 55 formed the backbone of Sri Lanka’s resistance, helping the hosts erase the first-innings deficit and move into the lead. However, India hit back with three wickets in the final session before heavy rain brought play to an early close. Sri Lanka now have just four wickets in hand, leaving India well placed to wrap up the innings and seal the Test on Day 5, weather permitting.
