Colombo: Despite Kaushal Silva's half century, India continue to remain ahead after taking three Sri Lankan wickets on the second day of the second Test at the P. Sara Oval on Friday.
At the end of the day, Sri Lanka were at 140 for three, with skipper Angelo Mathews and Lahiru Thirimanne at the crease with 19 and 28 respectively.
Wicketkeeper batsman Kaushal Silva scored 56 before getting out to Ravichandran Ashwin.
Kumar Sangakarra, who is playing his last match, got out after scoring 32 runs.
From India, Ravichandran Ashwin, Umesh Yadav and Amit Mishra took a wicket each.
Earlier, Wriddhiman Saha (56) capitalised on a charmed life to hit his second successive test fifty as India inched close to the 400-mark before being all out soon after lunch.
Resuming on 319 for six, the visitors lost Ashwin early but Saha added 46 runs with Mishra (24) to frustrate the hosts.
Sri Lanka bowled without luck, illustrated best in the second over of the day when Dhammika Prasad's delivery brushed Saha's off-stump but could not dislodge the bails.
Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath claimed the last two Indian wickets to finish with figures of 4-81.
