Gambhir lbw by Malinga scored only 2 runs, Dravid was run out by (Malinga/Mathews), where as Sachin was out by Murali as an LBW, Murali moves to 793 wickets and what a wicket to pick for him.
Now its time for india to save wickets, Sehwag crossed half century and he is batting with 85 runs, VVS Laxman on grease with 18 runs. India trail by 388 runs with 7 wickets remaining in the 1st innings.
Out of 3 wickets SL Malinga and M Muralitharan took one each and remaining wicket gone as a run out. Min overs remaining for the day was 13.
And finally, the light meters are coming out. Light has faded and it is stumps on a fascinating day three. It was well worth the wait after a frustrating second day when nothing happened. Today the rains stayed away and allowed the plots and sub-plots to emerge in full colour.
Sri Lanka were rocked early by India's seamers before the sun came out and the hosts counterattacked in style. They built a big score and declared at tea. India will be gutted at having lost three wickets, but Sehwag is still out there and looking very good.
Laxman got into the groove as well towards the end, and the way these guys shape up tomorrow against Murali and co. will make for more fascinating viewing. Here's hoping for good weather tomorrow as well. It is an early start again on day four.
