SL 1st inns: 118-5 (38 ovs) vs Ind | Scorecard

Sri Lanka nearly lose a wicket in the next over. Chandimal drives it straight to Dhawan at mid-on and attempts a suicidal single. The hosts are lucky that Dhawan misses the direct hit with the batsman well out of his crease. Two balls later Mathews inside edges Harbhajan which passes close to the stumps.

A short spell for Ishant before he makes way for Aaron. He also tries the short ball and Chandimal is happy to take them on, pulling it through midwicket for two runs. Two balls later, Aaron gets one to leave the right-hander slightly, beating Chandimal, who plays and misses.

In the next over, Mathews comes down the track and lofts Harbhajan straight down the ground for a six, to bring up his fifty from 77 balls.

Mathews has played fluently since the start and has played a major role in keeping side afloat. With just the tail to follow, Sri Lanka will need a big partnership between Mathews and Chandimal. The duo have already put on 58 runs to rally Sri Lanka after they were reduced to 60 for five at one stage.
