Watch Day 5 India Vs. Sri Lanka Cricket Live Online: Can Sri Lanka Force Draw On Final Day?
India cricket fans can watch live online to see if their team can hang on against Sri Lanka to avoid a draw and claim their first Test series win in the country since 1993 on Day Five of the Third and final 2015 Test match between the two subcontinent rivals.
UPDATE: On Day Four, despite a physical altercation between India’s Ishant Sharma and Sri Lanka seamer Dhammika Prasad, India batsmen built a 386-run lead and Sri Lanka will now need to score 319 to win — a daunting prospect after losing three quick wickets before stumps on Monday.
Sri Lanka will likely be hoping for the skies to open up, cutting short play and preventing India from taking those final seven wickets, a task that with Sri Lanka’s weakened batting attack seems all-too achievable with three sessions to play.
See highlights of Day Four action in the video on this page, above.
After a first day restricted by rain to just 15 overs, the 292 for eight put up by Pujara and his teammates by stumps on Saturday could be enough to at least prevent India from losing — if not quite sufficient to secure victory.
