09:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the LIVE coverage from Day 3 of the first Test between India and Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens.

Welcome to Day 3 of the 1st Test. Rain gods permitting, we should get a full day's play today #INDvSL pic.twitter.com/6Se3snq08m

— BCCI (@BCCI) November 18, 2017

Only 105 minutes of play was possible on the second day in the morning session before the skies opened up. Lunch had to be called early after rain interrupted play half hour before the break. The rain continued to come down hard, which meant no play was possible after lunch forcing the umpires to call off day's proceedings prematurely again. After just 11.5 overs were bowled on Thursday, the Sri Lankan bowlers managed to get through 21 overs on Friday. The play is scheduled to begin 15 minutes early on all the three days now, which means that the day's play will start at 9:15 am.
