  "account": "Colombo, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka's second innings in the second cricket test against India was underway on Day 4 Wednesday, with the team sitting at 83-2, 130 runs behind the Indian total of 503-9 declared. India opted to enforce the follow on, leaving Sri Lanka in a challenging position. Prasidh Krishna and Manav Suthar were standout performers for India, each claiming three wickets. Sri Lanka's Prasidh Krishna and Manav Suthar took three wickets apiece, while India's fast bowler Saransh Jain secured the remaining wickets. Sri Lanka's innings started at 265-8, with batsman Sonal Dinusha closing in on a century and just 39 runs away from preventing the follow on. However, off-spinner Saransh Jain dismissed Dinusha and the last two wickets, bringing an end to Sri Lanka's lead. Dinusha, who had scored two centuries in the previous Test, was out caught by KL Rahul, while the last wicket fell to the same bowler.",
