FOUR! Ojha to Chandimal. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, thick edge in the air uncontrolled past third man for 4 runs. That is that. Sri Lanka have levelled the series with an enormous win against India. In fact, it is the second heaviest defeat ever suffered by India in an ODI in terms of balls remaining.

The Man of the Match award goes to Thisara Perera, whose opening burst wrecked the Indian top order.
