By then the teams had left the ground. The crowd expressed their displeasure at being denied what they thought should have been almost a full day’s play.[3] On the third day A. C. M. Lafir top-scored for Ceylon with 55. Gupte took 5 for 55. Contractor scored 65 not out for India.[4]
India set Ceylon 259 runs to win in 75 minutes.[3] Contractor was again India's leading scorer, with 78 and 42. Gamini Goonesena took 7 for 69 then top-scored with 48.[6] Vernon Prins had captained Ceylon in the first match but after the poor organisation of the match ruined it as a contest he refused to play in the second match. Goonesena replaced him as captain.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/2/India_in_Ceylon_1956-57.html |publisher=CricketArchive |title=India in Ceylon 1956–57 |accessdate=5 July 2014}} 2. ^Wisden 1958, pp. 897–98. 3. ^1 2 S.
