Skies remain clear over Galle with the sun shining nice and bright. The Indian team is in a huddle near the ropes. Now, they spread out.

Sarfaraz Khan is in as the substitute for Gill. With Sri Lanka under the pump, Sonal Dinusha and Keshara Nuwantha walk to the crease to resume their partnership, which is now worth 19 runs.

Here we go...12:40 (IST) Aug 19... DAY 5, SESSION 2 ...12:17 (IST) Aug 19Agenda set for the day ahead - India are almost there, though four wickets still stand between them and victory. Dinusha looks completely unbothered by whatever's unfolding at the other end, and his job now is to shepherd the tail through as long as possible. India, for their part, will be desperate to snuff out any hint of a wag before it gets going, and wrap this up without dragging things into the final session. The post-Lunch session is scheduled to start at 7.10 am GMT (12.40 pm IST). Join us then.12:12 (IST) Aug 19Successful in creating inroads - Sonal Dinusha continued his fine run with the bat, showing once again that knack he has for anchoring an innings and building partnerships. And that is an invaluable currency in this format. Jadeja probed away for India, extracting a couple of half chances here and there. But it took the Indians well over an hour to finally make the breakthrough, with Jadeja removing Dhananjaya de Silva and putting an end to a defiant 95-run stand. Niroshan Dickwella, whether in a rush of blood or simply a lapse of concentration, threw his wicket away, and Sri Lanka slipped from 142/4 to 156/5 as a result, with Dinusha stranded on 65.12:07 (IST) Aug 19Stubborn in defence - The pitch still looked in decent shape, with not too many indentations to speak of, and the first hour was negotiated safely by Sonal Dinusha and Dhananjaya, both rock solid in defence throughout. The Indian bowlers, for their part, kept probing away with disciplined lines and lengths, content to wait for the batters to err rather than force the issue themselves. And every so often, the cracks did show, the odd forced stroke offering a glimpse of the vulnerabilities lurking just around. But the two Sri Lankans just stayed rock solid, showing great temperament.12:02 (IST) Aug 196.32 am GMT (12.02 pm IST) - 33 overs, 91 runs and 2 wickets in the morning session. India will surely be the happier of the two teams. While the partnership between Dhananjaya de Silva and Sonal was going on, it seemed India would have a long day, but with those couple of quick wickets, India are in the driver’s seat again. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have displayed good resistance, especially through Dinusha, but will have a lot of hard work to do in the post-lunch session, as they are running out of men now.12:01 (IST) Aug 19Sri Lanka vs India Live Score : 175/6 (66.6 overs)Score after 67 overs 175 - 6Runs Scored: 0 100000Keshara Nuwantha 8 (27)Sonal Dinusha 65 (112)Manav Suthar19-0-46-20Overs66.6Score175 - 6 Manav Suthar to Keshara Nuwantha, This is pushed through, shorter and on the off stump. Nuwantha is hurried on the back foot but stabs it down eventually.

After setting a target of 372, India reduced Sri Lanka to 84/4 by stumps, leaving Dhananjaya de Silva's side requiring another 288 runs to pull off a remarkable win.The foundations for India's imposing target were laid by Rishabh Pant, who produced another typically adventurous Test innings. The wicketkeeper-batter scored 66 and reached his fifty in only 53 balls, combining his trademark strokeplay with valuable runs under pressure. His six off Lahiru Kumara brought up his half-century and also marked his 100th six in Test cricket. Pant became the first Indian and the quickest batter to reach the milestone. He added 54 runs with Ravindra Jadeja before eventually nicking Kumara behind.Devdutt Padikkal, who had scored 167 in the first innings, continued his excellent form with a fluent 44. He attacked Sri Lanka's spinners confidently before Keshara Nuwantha trapped him on the back foot. KL Rahul contributed 35, including two sixes against Prabath Jayasuriya, but was eventually dismissed by the spinner after India's second-wicket partnership with Padikkal had added 65 runs.India's innings also featured early and important wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal edged Asitha Fernando in the first over, while Shubman Gill was dismissed leg before by Jayasuriya. India lost several wickets late in the innings but had already established a commanding advantage.Sri Lanka's chase then unravelled quickly. Siraj dismissed Nishan Fernando, Prasidh removed Kamindu Mendis, and Suthar struck twice. Pasindu Sooriyabandara, replacing the injured Dinesh Chandimal as a concussion substitute, lasted only one delivery before being trapped lbw. Suthar later dismissed Lahiru Udara as India tightened their grip on the Test.With rain forecast for the final day, India will hope to complete the remaining six wickets and move 1-0 ahead in the two-Test series.
