India made a disappointing 426 in their first innings. THings could have been much worse had it not been a brilliant innings from Dravid. Thanks to a brilliant counter attack from Dilshan Srilanka are now placed at 332/4, Jayawardena still at the crease having scored 61. I believe India has not captialised properly the morning conditions with just 1 wicket compared to 4 wickets each srilanka got on the first two days. with more wickets to fall and below 100 runs, will you think it is possible for india to take the first innings lead??

Well.It is not easy for india to take a lead in first innings.Dhoni and dravid played well and india to score 426.Most of the batsman in srilankan side are in great form.So it is not so easy for the indian bowlers to get remaining srilankans wicket within 100 runs.

all that i can see now is the test heading for a draw. i do not see much here as srilanka if they take a lead would love to have atleast 150 or more before trying to put pressure on indians. the question of india having a lead now is gone looking at the way srilankans are batting now.
