Sri Lanka Fight Back to Trail by 16 Runs After Follow-On

India enforced the follow-on after bowling Sri Lanka out for 290 on the fourth day of the second Test in Colombo, but the hosts staged a resilient fightback to reach 229 for six at stumps, trailing by just 16 runs. Rain and bad light brought an early end to play on Wednesday, leaving the match finely poised heading into the final day. Sri Lanka began the day at 265 for eight in their first innings, needing 39 runs to avoid the follow-on. Overnight batter Sonal Dinusha completed his second successive Test century, reaching 103 off 162 balls before being dismissed by debutant spinner Saransh Jain.
