India Vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test Day 3: Prasidh, Manav Keep Hosts Under Pressure As Dinusha Maintains Resistance

On Day 3 of the 2nd Test in Colombo, Sri Lanka finished on 265/8 in 83.4 overs, trailing India's massive first-innings total of 503/9 dec by 238 runs. Sri Lanka suffered an early collapse after pacer Prasidh Krishna (3/47) struck twice early, removing Lahiru Udara (1) and Prabath Jayasuriya (2), while Mohammed Siraj (1/33) accounted for Niroshan Dickwella (0). However, Pasindu Sooriyabandara anchored the innings with a brilliant 80 off 133 balls (9 fours) before being bowled by Ravindra Jadeja (1/45). Support came from Kamindu Mendis (32) and a gritty, unbeaten knock from Sonal Dinusha, who reached 85 not out off 137 balls (6 fours, 2 sixes). Keshara Nuwantha also chipped in with a patient 18 off 74 balls. Indian spinners Manav Suthar (3/83) and Jadeja kept the pressure tight through the middle overs, leaving the hosts fighting hard to avoid the follow-onavir prematurely halted by rain.

Kyle Kirkwood Wins Freedom 250 As Alex Palou Suffers Nightmare IndyCar Race

Kyle Kirkwood produced a commanding drive to win the inaugural Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C., making history on IndyCar’s first race around the National Mall. The Andretti Global driver led 128 of the 147 laps and crossed the line 3.0906 seconds ahead of Arrow McLaren’s Christian Lundgaard, with teammate Will Power completing the podium. The 250-mile race was interrupted by six caution periods, but Kirkwood repeatedly maintained control, including after late restarts. Championship leader Alex Palou endured a nightmare afternoon, suffering a drive-through penalty, a slow pit stop and a crash on his way to 20th place. Kirkwood’s victory reduced Palou’s championship lead from 133 points to 91, with three races remaining.
