What happened
India let a golden chance slip in Colombo as Sri Lanka's remarkable lower-order resistance forced a draw, hurting the visitors' World Test Championship hopes. Sonal Dinusha's unbeaten 133 capped a sensational series for him, while India's flat tactics and inability to dismiss the tail after dominating the match leaves India with virtually no margin for error for the remaining WTC calendar.
