India’s spinners Suthar and Jadeja take control on day three of the first Test at Galle, driving Sri Lanka to 284 all out. Sri Lanka trail India by 178 runs, giving India a commanding first-innings lead after a rain-affected day.
Sri Lanka’s innings is anchored by Sonal Dinusha, who scores her maiden international century, and Niroshan Dickwella, who makes 80. A partnership between Dinusha and Dickwella slows the collapse and gives Sri Lanka more time against India’s bowling attack. After that period, the Indian spin threat helps accelerate wickets.
Both outlets describe the same turning points: seven wickets for Suthar and Jadeja on day three, Sri Lanka’s dismissal at 284, and India’s lead of 178. The reports differ mainly in phrasing, while the core match details remain consistent.
