(Photo: PTI) Hi and welcome to India Today's live coverage of Sri Lanka vs India, 1st Test Day 3 in Galle. Aug 17, 2026 10:02 ISTWICKET! WHAT A START FOR INDIAWhat a start for India! Mohammed Siraj needs just two balls to make an impact, getting Nishan Madhushka caught by Devdutt Padikkal for a duck. Siraj keeps it tight and gets the breakthrough almost instantly, giving Sri Lanka a reminder of the challenge waiting for them after India's 462. The hosts have barely had time to settle in and are already one down. That is exactly the start India wanted. Sri Lanka now need to absorb the pressure and ensure this doesn't turn into the kind of collapse India will be dreaming about. SL vs IND 1st Test Day 3: Sri Lanka (0/1 in 0.2 ovs). Lahiru Udara (0) Aug 17, 2026 10:00 ISTSL vs IND Live: Sri Lanka's turn with the batIndia have finally finished their long first innings, and now the pressure shifts to the hosts. Nishan Madhushka and Lahiru Udara walk out to open for Sri Lanka, with Mohammed Siraj taking the new ball for India. Sri Lanka have 462 to chase just to make India bat again, but this is less about the scoreboard for now and more about surviving India's pace attack. With time already lost to rain, the hosts cannot afford an early collapse. Aug 17, 2026 09:57 ISTGalle Test Live: Sri Lanka waste no timeSri Lanka needed just four balls to finish India's innings. India had opted against using the roller, hoping their last pair could survive long enough to make the surface more difficult later, but that plan never got going. Asitha Fernando kept it short, Prasidh Krishna went for the pull and got a glove through to the keeper. Fernando finishes with 2/63, while India are all out for a commanding 462. Now comes the real test for Sri Lanka. They need to bat time, absorb India's attack and avoid giving the visitors the quick wickets they will be hunting for. With rain still a factor, every uninterrupted session becomes even more valuable. Sri Lanka now have a big task with the bat. (Photo: PTI) Aug 17, 2026 09:49 ISTSL vs IND: WICKET! India bowled out at 462That didn't take long. Just four balls into Day 3, Asitha Fernando wraps up India's innings as Prasidh Krishna edges a short one behind after trying to pull. There was a hint of glove as the ball kissed Prasidh's gloves before settling into Niroshan Dickwella's hands. The wicket is confirmed, and India are finally all out for 462. Sri Lanka will be relieved to have that last wicket, but India have still posted a formidable total. Now the visitors turn to their bowlers, with time already at a premium after the rain interruptions. SL vs IND 1st Test Day 3: India (462 all out in 116.4 ovs). Kuldeep Yadav (12)*, Prasidh Krishna (2)* Aug 17, 2026 09:46 ISTSL vs IND live: Day 3 is underwayNo rain, no delays and, for once, no drama from the Galle skies. Day 3 has started on time, with Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna walking out to resume India's innings at 460/9. Asitha Fernando has the ball for Sri Lanka and will be looking to wrap up the innings quickly. India, meanwhile, have a decision to make. A few more runs or get on with the bowling? With rain still lurking, time could be the deciding factor. SL vs IND 1st Test Day 3: India (460/9 in 116 ovs). Kuldeep Yadav (12)*, Prasidh Krishna (1)* Aug 17, 2026 09:40 ISTSL vs IND Live: Will India declare or bat on?India chose not to declare at 460/9 yesterday, despite the rain making time a precious commodity. With Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna still at the crease, the visitors have another decision to make this morning. The extra runs may not be worth much if another shower eats into the day. On the other hand, India already have a huge total and need as many overs as possible to bowl Sri Lanka out. With the forecast still threatening more interruptions, a declaration could be the logical move today. Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna still at the crease for India.

Galle is looking bright and sunny, a welcome change after the rain that has taken chunks out of the first two days. Hopefully, the weather can resist the urge to spoil things again. Both teams are already out for practice, making the most of the conditions. India are having a team huddle too, with head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill addressing the players as they prepare for what could be a crucial day. A timely start is looking likely in Galle. (Photo: PTI) Aug 17, 2026 09:22 ISTIND vs SL: Day 2 belonged to IndiaRain wiped out the morning in Galle, pushing the start to 2.35 PM, but India made the 43 overs count, adding 172 runs to finish on 460/9. Devdutt Padikkal turned his maiden Test hundred into a superb 167 off 230 balls, while KL Rahul returned from his injury scare to make 82. Dhruv Jurel added a brisk 51 to keep India moving. Sri Lanka's spinners eventually fought back. Prabath Jayasuriya took 4/109 and debutant Keshara Nuwantha claimed 3/175, removing Padikkal, Rahul and Pant among the key wickets. India still have the advantage, but the clock is becoming a factor. With Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna at the crease, the big question is whether India bat on or get straight to the task of taking 20 wickets. Padikkal led India's run charge on Day 2.

It is a much more persistent spell, and right now, a start on time looks highly unlikely. The forecast had already promised plenty of rain today, and the morning is wasting no time delivering. After losing a huge chunk of the first two days, India and Sri Lanka could be in for another frustrating wait. India are sitting on 460/9, ready to get on with the job, but the weather has other ideas. At this point, the covers might have more screen time than some of the players. Rain has already washed out significant playing time in Galle.

India have done the hard work with the bat, but with rain already eating into the Test, the clock is starting to matter almost as much as the scoreboard. The forecast isn't exactly playing nice either, with more showers expected through the day. India could declare and get on with the bowling, but every interruption means more precious overs disappear. After the weather's performance over the first two days, Galle has clearly decided to keep a third team in the contest. For now, India have the advantage, Sri Lanka have plenty of batting to survive, and everyone has one eye on the sky. Let's see if the weather allows us to actually play some cricket today.
