no image

Twitteratis were not silent as the umpires forgot to award India 5 runs for Chandimal's 'fake fielding' during India's innings. Virat Kohli was also left fuming after the completely ignored Chandimal's antics on the field. India still ended up scoring 172, thanks to Mohammed Shami's cameo.

Brief scores: India 172/10 (Cheteshwar Pujara 52, Wriddhiman Saha 29; Suranga Lakmal 4/26, Dilruwan Perera 2/19) lead Sri Lanka 165/4 (Angelo Mathews 52, Lahiru Thirimanne 51; Umesh Yadav 2/50, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/49) by 7 runs.

Here are the funny tweets from Day 3:



Did the umpires forget about the new rule changes?

And this was the skipper's reaction to Chandimal's "fake fielding"

What was the umpire even doing?

The bitter truth!

Brilliant effort by the Indian tail! 

It's been a treat to watch Bhuvi bowl today!

Hats off to the crowd in Eden Gardens!

When Shami limped off the field due to  injury, guess who bowled the last ball...

Bad light strikes again!
