Hours after Gautam Gambhir’s visit to Galle, lawn mower hits the pitch

Sri Lanka held a closed-door practice session in Galle as India coaches Gautam Gambhir and Sitanshu Kotak briefly inspected the pitch. Groundstaff worked extensively on the surface, which could influence India’s choice between three spinners or three seamers. Rain remains a concern ahead of the Test. India will resume training Thursday after completing an intensive preparation camp in Colombo.
