Ramesh Mendis and Kavindu Kulasekara returned without adding to their overnight total, dismissed by Atul Singh in the second over of the day.
Sniffing a victory, the Indian colts enforced follow-on. However, the hosts rallied on to finish the game on 264 for the loss of nine wickets in the second innings with a 17-run lead to deny the visitors a win.   (Also Read: Sri Lanka U19 vs India U19, Day 3 - Report | India U-19 Tour Sri Lanka)
