Day Three Saturday Nov 18,2017
Cheteshwar Pujara and Wriddhiman Saha opened the session of the third day in the first cricketTest against Sri Lanka, in Kolkata on Saturday. India resumed play at 74/5 after two days were spoiled by rain and wet outfield, allowing only 32.5 overs of play.
Pujara, 52 runs from 117 balls, was bowled out by Lahiru Gamage in 37th over. Left handed batman Ravindra Jadeja came to the crease and left after scoring 22 runs, before falling to an LBW from Thisara Perera. Tail-enders Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Muhammed Shami too didn't stay for long, scoring 12 and 24 runs each.
On-field English umpire Richard Kettleborough pulled out of third day's play due to a throat infection. The 44-year-old was replaced by third umpire Joel Wilson who accompanied Nigel Long on the field.
Long, from Trinidad, was replaced as TV umpire by fourth umpire Anil Chaudhary. A local umpire, Binod Thakur, will now act as the fourth umpire.
At lunch, which was called early after rain cut short the first session on Friday, Cheteshwar Pujara was batting on 47 in the company of Wriddhiman Saha (6 not out)

Lahiru Thirimanne and Angelo Mathews  compiled contrasting fifties and shared a 99-run partnership that put Sri Lanka in the ascendancy of the Kolkata Test, cutting their deficit to just 7 by stumps on the third day
Scorecard
India 172/10 in 59.3 Overs
Sri Lanka 165/4
