Twitter Reactions: Bowlers help India dominate the 3rd day

Twitter Reactions: Bowlers help India dominate the 3rd day: When the 3^rd day at the P Sara Oval ended Indians were lying in a dominant position. After the 1^st session of the day in which Indian bowlers couldn’t scalp a wicket, the 2^nd session marked just the opposite turn of events as the match twisted in favor of the tourists. And from 241/3 the hosts collapsed like a pack of cards and got bundled out for 306 runs. Amit Mishra took 4 wickets while for Sri Lanka their skipper Angelo Mathews dazzled with a well complied century.

When Indian’s came out to bat the centurion of the 1^st innings KL Rahul got out early but then the pair of Murali Vijay and the newly slotted no.3 Ajinkya Rahane added 67 runs for the 2^nd wicket as the pitch looked pretty good for batting. By the end of the day the Indian’s were leading by 157 runs with 9 wickets in hand.

Pathetically the light meter is out. Not that bad out there and sun was out five mins ago… #SLvIND

Most of #SriLanka fans might be thinking India to score more and more to watch @KumarSanga2 playing again. #INDvsSL #SLvIND.Even Me too.
