India missed several chances to finish off Sri Lanka on Day 3 of the second Test as the hosts’ lower order put up a strong fight in Colombo.Led by Sonal Dinusha and Pasindu Sooriyabandara, Sri Lanka ended the day at 265/8, still 38 runs short of avoiding the follow-on.Sri Lanka's lower order stands firmDinusha remained unbeaten on 85 when rain and bad light brought play to an early close, while Lahiru Kumara was not out on 8. Dinusha continued his excellent run in the series, registering his third score above 50 in as many innings. He battled India’s pace and spin for 201 minutes and refused to give the bowlers an opening.He first added 57 runs with Keshara Nuwantha for the eighth wicket and then put on another 35 with Kumara.
