Scorecard

Kohli happy to continue with the pace-spin combination going. Aaron bowls a costly over as Mathews hits him for two boundaries, the second one a streaky one. He went after a wide delivery, getting an edge which flew past the lone slip fielder, who dived full length but could not get to it.

Ashwin makes the breakthrough yet again with the key wicket of Mathews, who is brilliantly caught by Rohit at short leg after a superb innings of 64. Mathews got a thich inside edge and Rohit somehow got his hand on it as he tried to take evasive action before diving full length to complete a stunning one-handed catch.

Mathews played a big role in Sri Lanka's revival with a 79-run partnership for the sixth wicket with Chandimal. However, his wicket has exposed the tail and India would be hoping to quickly finish off the remaining wickets and consolidate their good start.
