Skipper Dinesh Chandimal hit an unbeaten century as Sri Lanka reached 356-9 at stumps, trailing India by 180 runs on day three of the pollution-hit third Test in New Delhi on Monday.
Overnight batsman Angelo Mathews, who scored 111, and Chandimal put on a 181-run stand before the Indian bowlers struck back at the smog-shrouded Feroz Shah Kotla ground with spinner Ravichandran Ashwin claiming three wickets.
Chandimal was batting on 147 and Lakshan Sandakan was yet to open his account when bad light caused stumps to be drawn for the day.
