SL survived anyhow on the first match against India.India bowled really well in the second innings specially B kumar.They could have win this match if rain don't interrupt this match.SL was average on the first innings but they played poorly in the second.Thanks to lakmal and lower order batsman to save SL.If SL continue this performance I don't think they will be able to survive in upcoming next matches.
Many are blaming umpires for slow play and not letting Indians play for longer time but I guess this is the ideal result , SL played the first innings well and Indians the second .

Luck was in favor for Sri Lanka, even after losing seven wickets they were closing to lose the match by more than 100+runs.But I doubt this would happen at the next venue where the rain gods do not visit the place.

India just trying their luck by throwing this game for a short score with limited over, this is where test matches look to be interesting and not as the same old usual ones.They should win this if they can make Sri Lanka go to defensive in the last couple of overs.
India require 6 wickets to win the test match in around 20 overs left for the day. And SL require 173 runs to win in another 20 overs if they want to go for it. It will end up in a draw unless something changes in the course of time where either SL gets all out which seems little difficult now. But a good match overall with the short time span.
What a thrilling end to the game I thought India would win this game today but bad luck the weather not supported. Due to bad light, the game was stopped early and the match was draw. It's an advantage for Sri Lanka and disadvantage for the Indian team. Great bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar he took 4 wickets in just 11 overs and gave only 8 runs.

I think india vs Sri lanka match is heading towards to draw.Because both team played well and showed great recovery.India was bad at first innings but kept heads up in second innings.Day 4 already stumped and lead by 49 runs and also 9 wickets in hand.If SL wants to win then they have to pick India's 9 wickets in a snap and bat again.And I think that's wont happen.
This is very difficult that SL can win from here now. Only thing now what is possible is only a draw test match. SL would have hoped to pick quick early wickets in 2nd innings of the match which dint happen due to which the match will end up in a draw now.
Even India have literally negligible chances for winning, only lead by 49 runs on Day 4. I won't think they will declare before leading to a good run. And its kind of impractical that anybody will win unless a miracle happens from either side.
Today India lost six-wickets quite fast and now they are leading by 159 runs and three wickets are remaining. The good thing is captain still playing. If SL can pick up the last three wickets quickly then they can try to do some magic win this match. Currently, the match is going towards a draw but very exciting to what happens.

Yes in one day i think it is impossible suppose if India made 100+ runs lead today then we can think about this but they made just 49 runs. and making speed runs on this pitch is not easy. you are right if the miracle happens then only India can win this game.
India came back very strong in the second innings and their run rate also very good in this second innings. But I don't think India will try to win this match instead they may use it as a batting practice match and play whole day or most of this last day. It is almost confirmed draw match unless as you said some miracle needs to happen to see any team to win this match. SL bowlers need to do some magic to take all the wickets in 40 overs then they will get around 50 overs to chase the runs but that is not going to happen.
Well its going to be an interesting Australian test team going into this years Ashes series with a couple of shock selections. One of them being Tim Paine being picked as the Australian wicket keeper who's test career looked over and was even dropped by the Tasmania side. This is a shock decision by the selectors with many people upset with the decision so I just hope they made the right call as Australia do have other wicket keepers who have been performing much better then Paine. Shaun Marsh has also been given his 8th chance to prove himself at test level along with uncapped Western Australia teammate Cameron Bancroft. So its going to be an interesting looking Australian team heading into the 1st test in a few days time.

Not at all impressive by SL middle order batsmen . Herath is playing well but 250 isn't enough according to me , they have to reach atleast 270 as soon as possible so that they can pressurize Indian batsmen in the second innings.
India is still trailing by 85 runs with 10 wickets in hand. As of now India is 37/0 and things going well. Tomorrow is last day and 1 more session in today play left. If SL has to win they have quickly wrap up India and make minimum run possible for 2nd innings. Else it will be a draw match.
Indian batsman is playing well and safe batting in 2nd innings. 54/0 they trail by 66 runs, but I have little bit hope on this match that SL may win this match if they pick 5 or 6 more wickets in 1 session. this could be possible in this pitch we saw in 1st innings.
Match looks into India's favor now as they have a heavy lead and with only one wicket loss, if they can declare and give a target of 200 plus with over 2 sessions, will be a good win for India.
India is just 49 runs lead and as looking towards pitch condition i think this match is going towards draw, even if tommorrow India bat well in first session and make lead of 200+ then they have to bowl well and take all wickets of Sri Lanka in another 2 session but what if Sri Lanka batsman bats well as now the pitch is looking good for batting then even Sri Lanka can win if the target is low. So i think India will try to make lead of 250+ and then give Sri Lanka batting and try to take soon wicket. So 5th day will be full of drama as both team will try fully to take control of the match and win it.
Do you think India can make 200 plus runs in the 1st session and after that, they can make all out SL in next 2 sessions? I don't think it will work out and India will win this test match. My guessing is 90% this match will become a Draw and in remaining 10% if any miracle happens anyone team can win this match.
