India on verge of series win after Sri Lanka reach 229/6

India moved closer to securing a series victory after their bowlers reduced Sri Lanka to 229 for six in their second innings on the fourth day of the second and final Test in Colombo on Wednesday. Rain and bad light ended play early, leaving Sri Lanka still trailing by 210 runs and setting up a decisive final day. Sri Lanka began the day needing 38 runs to avoid the follow-on after resuming at 265 for eight. Sonal Dinusha, who was unbeaten on 85 overnight, completed his century early in the session, reaching the milestone with a powerful pull shot.
