Sri Lanka turn the screw

Sri Lanka turned the screw on day three of the third and deciding Test against India in Colombo on Sunday and it now looks like India need something akin to a miracle if they are to turn this one around.

The tourists lead by just 14 and if they are to have any chance then Rahul Dravid, not out 41, and VVS Laxman, who has 17 but is struggling with an ankle problem, will have to compile one of their legendary partnerships.

They have already put on 30 but I would suggest that they need to add at least another 100 if they are even to stand a chance of beating the home side.

Bet365 don't give them much hope, though, making Sri Lanka 1/20 for victory, while India are 10/1 and the draw is a 20/1 chance.

Dravid is 5/6 to move from 41 to 75 or more, while Laxman is the same price to get from 17 to 38 or better. India are also 5/6 to get from 161-5, where they will resume, to 256 or better.
