Sri Lanka vs India 2017: 3rd Test Day 3, 5 talking points

#1 Incisive Shami rattles Sri Lanka yet again

Mohammed Shami was exceptional in this Test match for India

Carrying on from where he left off in the first innings, Mohammed Shami started the day with a lot of pace and aggression. The Bengal pacer got Pushpakumara out caught behind, and followed it up with one that nipped back in and trapped Kusal Mendis plumb in front.

Shami bowled with consistent pace around the 140 kmph mark, and troubled all the batsmen.

His spell to Mendis was exceptional; he set the batsman up with a few short balls and an away swinger and then bowled a fast in-swinger to catch the right-hander napping on the crease. He later bagged the wicket of Lakshan Sandakan with a quick back-of-a-length delivery and finished with three wickets to his name.
