India set to follow on Sri Lanka
India 159 for 6 (Gambhir 39, Murali 4-38) trail Sri Lanka 600 for 6 dec (Dilshan 127*) by 441 runs
Trailing by 441 runs, India is all set to follow on Sri Lanka. Only miracles can save India from a big defeat in the very first test of the Indian-Sri Lankan Test Series.
Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan snared four critical wickets to leave India struggling on 159 for six when bad light ended play early on the third day of the first Test on Friday.
Earlier, Sri Lanka, resuming the day on 422-4, added 130 runs during
an extended morning and a further 48 after lunch before declaring their innings for 600/6. Indian bowlers could never ever get in control of the Sri Lankan innings, letting four of their batsmen score centuries.
At the end of the third day, VVS Laxman and Captain Kumble were on the crease.
