We are back. Ireland need 448 runs to win. Take two for them. Can they show a much better performance this time? Time will tell.
...THE CHASE...
Lorcan Tucker showed some promising signs as he started Day 3 by hitting a flurry of boundaries. However, not for long as Sri Lanka took the last three remaining wickets quickly and now Ireland have to follow-on with 448 runs to win. A big task for them as the ball has started to turn dearly. Stay tuned.
A sensational performance by Sri Lanka. Everything is going as per planned for them. Firstly, they have notched a humongous total for Ireland to work it out but Sri Lanka have blossomed with the ball now, putting Ireland in serious trouble. There is nothing to talk about for Irish Team. They were trapped in Prabath Jayasuriya's spin web who took seven wickets alone.
OUT! LBW! THREE REDS! Tossed up, around off, McBrine defends with his bat and pad together. An appeal for LBW but the finger stays down. Sri Lanka thinks it is pad first and they take it upstairs. Yes, it is the pad first. Ball Tracking shows three reds and that will do for the Lanka team. IRELAND ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 143.

OUT! LBW! Prabath Jayasuriya gets his man! Lorcan Tucker has reviewed though. Impact looks slightly outside the line. No bat there. Ball Tracking shows the impact is umpire's call and so is the ball hitting on umpire's call. Unfortunately, Tucker has to go. A much needed breakthrough for Sri Lanka as Lorcan Tucker was playing very freely. This is full and around off. Tucker looks to sweep but gets hit on the back thigh pad. An appeal and up goes the finger. Prabath Jayasuriya gets his sixth.
Full and on off, pushed to cover. A maiden for Vishwa Fernando.
On middle, kept out.
Outside off again. McBrine cuts but the fielder at gully dives to his left and makes a solid block.
