On the third day of the 1st Test between India and Sri Lanka, the visitors have scored 591 runs with five wickets in hand thus taking a lead of 165 runs thus taking a lead of 165 runs with two days spare. Mahela Jayawardene, who is batting unbeaten on 204 is main architect of putting the Lankans in the dominant position and giving India jitters to save the match by playing the 2nd innings with caution.Mahela Jayawardene ground the Indian bowlers through the first two sessions and threatening to take them into a territory from where they can rule out a defeat. This was only the second time Sri Lanka have taken a comfortable first-innings lead in India, and only the first time they have crossed 450 in the country. Jayawardene was supported by Thilan Samaraweera in the first session, Prasanna Jayawardene in the second, and by the slowness of the pitch in both.Earlier, the visitors started the day 151 runs behind, knowing they needed a lead of at least 70 runs to compensate for having to bat last on a pitch that is taking turn. But both Jayawardene and Samaraweera negotiated it comfortably in the morning. India were made to bowl spinners for the first 10 overs before the new ball was due. And for some reason, they came out in the containment mode, with a deep point for Harbhajan, who watched a couple of late-cuts from Jayawardene go for fours through third man.Both Jayawardene (204) and Prasanna (84) are at the crease and the total Lanka score stands at 591 with five wickets in hand.
