Mukund, Kohli drive home India's advantage

106 minutes of the third day's play were lost to rain, but it hardly dampened India's grip over Sri Lanka in the opening Test at Galle. Including the spell of rain, India had to endure some frustrating stretches during the day's play, but that was only because they had enjoyed complete dominance until then.

They ended up bowling Sri Lanka out for 291, claiming a massive 309-run lead, and proceeded to further their lead by 189 runs for the loss of 3 wickets.
