India four wickets from victory as rain threatens Colombo Test conclusion

India needs four wickets to complete victory in the second Test after Sri Lanka reached 229 for six in their second innings at Colombo. Shubman Gill enforced the follow-on after Sri Lanka were bowled out for 290 in their first innings.

Pasindu Sooriyabandara scored 92 and Kamindu Mendis made 55 before three late wickets gave India control. Sonal Dinusha remains unbeaten on 103 after scoring his second century of the series. Shubman Gill took a diving catch at square leg in the 44th over to end a 115-run partnership.

Rain forced an early end to day four proceedings. Persistent wet weather on day five threatens to deny India a 2-0 series sweep despite their dominant position.
