by Sidharth Monga Sri Lanka 600 for 6 dec. (Jayawardene 136, Dilshan 125*, Warnapura 115, Samaraweera 127) v India
After a breezy 40-minute spell post-lunch in which they scored 48 runs, Sri Lanka declared their innings at 600, leaving India a possible 54 overs to bat out the third day of the Test. Led by Tillakaratne Dilshan, who scored his first Test century in three years, they scored 178 runs in 42 overs today, making 55 in the last 10. India had been on the field for 162 overs, spread over the three days in sapping conditions, and the declaration set up an interesting battle between the tired Indian batsmen and the Sri Lankan bowling attack, who know the conditions better. |

In recognition of this, the Secretariat for Coordinating the Peace Process will be publishing each day this week some of the creative writing about those events which depicts the collective response of Sri Lankans to the suffering of our Tamil fellow citizens. |
