SL 249-7 (81 ovs); Target: 386 | Scorecard


India take the second new ball straightaway after the tea break, giving the red new cherry to Ishant, who strikes in his very first over.

Mathews is trapped leg before wicket for 110 to become Ishant's 200 victim in Test cricket.

It was full and came in sharply as Mathews played down the wrong line and was caught on the crease. He was struck plumb in front of the stumps to end a valiant innings from the Sri Lankan skipper.

For a change, no send-off from Ishant to the departing batsman instead Kohli gives Mathews a pat on his back on his fine knock.

The pitch suddenly seems to have come to life as Ishant gets the ball to move big as Tharindu Kaushal is beaten off the last ball.
