Sri Lanka’s Top Order Failed… But The Test Isn’t Over | SL v IND Day 3 Review
Monday, 17 August, 2026

Sri Lanka were bowled out for 284 after India posted 462, but a crucial fightback from Sonal Dinusha and Niroshan Dickwella ensured the hosts avoided the follow-on and kept the Test alive. Mark Machado is joined by Nick Brookes and Dominic Machado to break down Day 3 of the 1st Test between Sri Lanka and India. They discuss Sri Lanka’s struggling top order, Dinusha’s growing reputation as a Test batter, Dickwella’s return to the side, Kamindu Mendis balancing red-ball and T20 cricket, and whether Sri Lanka can somehow fight their way to a draw.
