SL 113-3 (27 ovs) vs India 600 | Scorecard

Umesh comes back, replacing Shami, who bowled an excellent second spell in which he claimed two wickets in an over.

Mathews getting into his stride as he takes full toll of a short ball from Umesh, slashing it past point for a four.

Ashwin bowls another beauty to beat the well-set Tharanga getting enough turn to beat the left-hander.

Mathews comes down the track and swings it across the line on the leg side but mishits it to deep fine leg for one.

Mathews plays a thumping drive through the covers off Umesh for a four to bring up Sri Lanka's 100, in the 25th over. He pulls the next ball but gets a top edge which sails over the fine leg fence for a six.

Ashwin in midst of a brilliant spell, without much luck so far as he continues to give the two batsmen a lot of problems.

He yet again beats Tharanga with a delivery which turns and bounce but the left-hander somehow manages to survive.

Spin from both ends now as Ravindra Jadeja replaces Umesh. Mathews goes after a wide delivery to get a single to the covers where the fielder fumbles.

Jadeja then gets one to turn and bounce as it goes through the defences of Tharanga and also beats wicketkeeper Saha.
