Chasing 447 to win, Sri Lanka resumed their second innings at 28/1 and were given a fine start as Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis (54) attacked the Indian bowling before the latter was dismissed by R Ashwin with the score reading 97/2.
After that, no other Sri Lanka batter could trouble the relentless Indian bowling attack apart from the captain Karunaratne who went on to score a brilliant 107, his 14th hundred in Test cricket.
