The second cricket Test between India and Sri Lanka ended in a draw in Colombo on Jul 30. Sri Lanka was 129 for three in their second innings when both the captains agreed to sign peace.
The third Test will be played at P Sara Oval in Colombo from Jul 27. Meanwhile, despite losing the series opener, India managed to retain the numero uno status in the ICC Test Championship table by virtue of a hard-earned draw against Sri Lanka in the second Test in Colombo on Jul 30.
With 130 rating points in their kitty, India is now 11 points clear of second-placed South Africa, who have 119 points and will continue to enjoy the top spot in the chart irrespective of the result of the last match of the series.
Australia, which fell from the top spot after losing The Ashes last year, stayed in third position but has dropped from 116 points to 113, just two ahead of England.
England (111), which is presently hosting Pakistan in a four-Test series, occupies the fourth spot followed by Sri Lanka (111), Pakistan (84), West Indies (79), New Zealand (78) and Bangladesh (7).
Meanwhile, Australia continues to top the ICC ODI Championship table with 132 points, 14 clear of closest rival India. South Africa (115) occupies the third position.
