Washington, who has one over left, comes in to bowl the 48th over. A single each to the two batsmen before Mathews carts him over long-on for a six. He attempts another big hit on the leg side but fails to get the distance as Dhawan at deep midwicket dives forward but is unable to hold on.

Mathews gets a leading edge off the last ball but it falls safely away from the fielder in the covers.

Lakmal trying to use the long handle but is struck high on the bat by a bouncer from Bhuvneshwar for a single to long-on.

Part-time leg-spinner Shreyas Iyer to bowl the final over with Sri Lanka needing 145 for victory.

He makes a good start as Lakmal is hit on the pads before he jams his bat down and then takes a single to long-on.

Mathews showing the part-timer a lot of respect as he watchfully defends the third ball to the covers and then takes one and Lakmal blocks the last two balls to end the contest.
