Indian bowlers met an unexpected obstacle in centurion Sonal Dinusha but the Manav Suthar-led unit carried enough grunt to establish a sizable 178-run lead over Sri Lanka on the third day of the first Test on Monday.

Indian bowling unit got some rough treatment from Sri Lanka's Gen-Next batters before Kuldeep Yadav-led spinners scripted a recovery in the final session as the hosts posted 363 for 8 to end their first innings on the opening day of the three-day warm-up game on Friday.

Sonal Dinusha has been named captain of a 15-member Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) XI squad for the upcoming three-day warm-up match against India, scheduled to begin at the NCC Grounds on Friday.
