(Sri Lanka vs India Day 3 highlights)Hardik Pandya provided India the breakthrough at the fag end of the day with wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha taking a brilliant diving catch off Mendis’s inside edge. The Sri Lanka batsmen provided another proof of how teams have become harder to crack when they follow-on. PLAN VS SPINNERSSri Lanka’s second innings too started on a poor note when Upul Tharanga was bowled by Umesh Yadav in the third over. HARA KIRIEarlier, R Ashwin picked his 26th five-wicket haul to bundle out Sri Lanka for 183. Mendis tried to make amends in the second innings, but the effort seems to have come a tad late to save the match and series.
