Dhanamjaya de Silva out for a golden duck. Jadeja gets some turn and bounce and the ball goes through to hit the off stump bails and send de Silva packing.

After playing a good cameo, Mathews is gone for 26 off 33 balls and it takes a good catch by Pujara at leg slip to send the batsmen back.

Ashwin pushes in a quicker one and he gets some turn. Mathews tries to play it off his pads, gets the edge and Pujara does well to get his hands underneath the ball as it dips on him at leg slip.

Mathews not sparing Jadeja here. The bowler bowls a fuller delivery and Mathews dispatches him straight over for the second six of the over and Lanka take 14 runs off that over.

The batsmen are dealing in fours and sixes now and Mathews brings up the Lankan 100 with a six off Jadeja over long on.

The batsmen playing like they have nothing to lose and that is a good approach to have.

Dickwella and Mathews have upped the pace of the scoring here. They are getting the odd boundaries and running the singles and twos.

Just when one thought that Lanka were further losing their grip on the match they have begun to show some fight.
