Chahal comes back into the attack to bowl his ninth over. Sri Lanka are content to play it normally as Mathews takes three singles from over to take his score to 90.

Bumrah finishes with good figures of two for 43 in 10 overs.

Sri Lanka only playing for Mathews, who needs nine runs to complete his century with a result a foregone conclusion.

Mathews finally plays a positive shot as he lofts Chahal back over his head for a straight six to take his score to 97. He bowls a wide down the leg side as Mathews misses the flick and Dhoni flips off the bails but the batsman's feet are back in his crease.

Mathews then taps the fourth ball to long-on for one to take his score to 98.

Eight runs from the over as Bumrah finishes with three for 60 in 10 overs.

Bhuvneshwar comes back as Mathews finally completes his century with two runs on the leg side, from 122 balls. He seems to worsened his hamstring injury and looks in much more discomfort.
