Rain forces early stumps on Day 4 of India-Sri Lanka Test

Rain forced an early stumps on the fourth day of the second Test between India and Sri Lanka in Colombo on August 26, with the hosts reaching 229 for 6 in their second innings to take a slender 16-run lead. The interruption came just as India's bowlers had seized control of the match after a day of sustained pressure. India, led by captain Shubman Gill, had enforced the follow-on after dismissing Sri Lanka for 290 in the first innings, holding a commanding 213-run advantage built on first-innings centuries from Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel. Sri Lanka began their reply in trouble, losing opener Lahiru Udara early to Mohammed Siraj.
