May 10 (TheLedger) - Prabath Jayasuriya took 7-for-58 to bowl out the visitors for 184 inside two sessions on day three of the Galle Test, with Sri Lanka enforcing the follow-on just before tea.

The left-arm spinner extracted sharp turn from a deteriorating surface, claiming his career-best figures and his fifth five-wicket haul of the year.

By stumps, the visitors were 51-for-3 in their second innings, still trailing by 312 runs and staring down a likely innings defeat on day four.
