India had scored 452 for six in its first essay.<\/p>\n<p>At stumps, the visitor consolidated its position further to reach 48 for no loss in the second innings although opener and first innings centurion Sai Sudharsan had to retire hurt on 4. His opening partner Ayush Pandey and Devdutt Padikkal are both at the crease, batting on 20 each.<\/p>\n<p>On the third day, Ashen Bandara (70 off 162 balls) and skipper Sahan Arachchige (72 off 129 balls) looked very comfortable both against pacers and spinners during their 117-run third wicket stand. At one point, the home side was 260 for 3 and in complete control.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Arachchige was especially dominant against spinners Saransh Jain and Harsh Dubey, picking up three sixes apart from five boundaries.
