IND vs SL, 1st Test, Day 3 Live Updates: Pathum Nissanka completed his fifty as Sri Lanka managed to shrug off a nervy start on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test against India at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. Sri Lanka had resumed play from their overnight score of 108 for 4. For India, Ravichandran Ashwin bagged a couple of wickets while Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah took a wicket each. Earlier, Jadeja scored a marathon 175-run knock as declared their first innings at 574 for eight. Apart from him, Rishabh Pant also scored a counter-attacking 96 while Hanuma Vihari, who was promoted up the order, also hit a fifty. Virat Kohli had also played a fine knock of 45 but he missed out on a big score on his 100th Test. Initially, India had won the toss and skipper Rohit Sharma had elected to bat. (LIVE SCORECARD)

No one down there. Full, close to off stump, doesn’t quite get his weight fully forward into the checked cover drive, and the ball slices off the outside half of the bat and streaks away through the vacant gully region.

IND vs SL, 1st Test, Day 3 Live Updates: DROPPED!
Nissanka survives. Good effort from Shreyas Iyer. Ashwin floats up another outside off, and this one dips on Nissanka as he looks to step out and hit over mid-off. Ends up dragging it much wider than he wants, in the direction of deep square leg, and Iyer, running to his right and diving, can’t quite hold on

First boundary of the morning. Drops a little short outside off, and Asalanka puts it away nicely. Rolls his wrists over the pull to find the gap to the right of long leg
