Twitteratis were not silent as the umpires forgot to award India 5 runs for Chandimal's 'fake fielding' during India's innings. Virat Kohli was also left fuming after the completely ignored Chandimal's antics on the field. India still ended up scoring 172, thanks to Mohammed Shami's cameo.
Brief scores: India 172/10 (Cheteshwar Pujara 52, Wriddhiman Saha 29; Suranga Lakmal 4/26, Dilruwan Perera 2/19) lead Sri Lanka 165/4 (Angelo Mathews 52, Lahiru Thirimanne 51; Umesh Yadav 2/50, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/49) by 7 runs.
Here are the funny tweets from Day 3:
Did the umpires forget about the new rule changes?
Umpires are themselves unaware about the rules or what?

What was the umpire even doing?
Although fake fielding rule is stupid but since it's a rule, India must have got 5 extra runs. That was poor umpiring as they didn't see what Chandimal did in real time.

The bitter truth!
Mohammed Shami scored more runs than Rahul, Dhawan, Kohli, Rahane and Ashwin put together.

Brilliant effort by the Indian tail!
79/6 to 172. Considering the conditions Indian tail has scripted a stellar comeback.

India all out for 172. Don't think we saw that coming when Ashwin came out to bat at a score of 30. How they bowl should decide this game.

It's been a treat to watch Bhuvi bowl today!
Bhuvneshwar Kumar sends back both the Sri Lankan openers.

Hats off to the crowd in Eden Gardens!
Eden Gardens' crowd is singing birthday song for SL skipper Chandimal, who turns 28 today. This shows a true sports fan spirit. Happy Birthday skipper, please dont score runs today.

When Shami limped off the field due to injury, guess who bowled the last ball...
Virat Kohli is bowling in Tests 😂😂😂
