After a huge score from Sri lanka (600-6 dec), Indian batting collapsed on day 3 of first test match at SSC stadium, Colombo. Laxman & skipper Kumble were batting at the end of the day. At stumps, India was struggling at 159-6.
As stated by Harbhajan Singh earlier, Murli proved more dagerous than Mystrey Man Mendis. He took four wickets including Tendulkar. The pitch was slow at the time of Indian bowling, but when Sri lanka started bowling..the pitch was rough enough to get a turn for ball.
Mendis and Kulasekara took 1 wicket each...However, the wicket of Dravid was taken by Mendis.Earlier, Kumble had said that Dravid will easily face Mendis & show-off his all tricks.
Earlier, Sri lankan batsman played a very good innings which had four centuries.They were Warnapura, Jayawardane, Samarweera and Dilshan. After loosing two wickets earlier, they fought back to put up a good score of 600-6 dec.However, the poor fieling of India also helped them to reach 600. wicket-keeper Karthik dropped the catch of Jayawardane twice.

India now trail by 441 runs, & it seems that India might get follow-on as they have only four wickets in hand.
