Fifth successive loss for Sri Lanka against India - the joint-most in a row for them against an opponent. They have lost their last five against New Zealand as well.

India win the series 3-0, their first-ever away series whitewash

Quite fittingly, Ashwin takes the final wicket and that is it. All over for Sri Lanka. This has been a meek submission from the hosts after the tourists put up a big score on the board. Bowled out for 135 and having been asked to follow on, Sri Lanka never looked like possessing enough teeth to bite the bullet.

Shami opened the morning brilliantly and Ashwin played along very well for both to star in India's comprehensive win. It is also the first time India have achieved a series whitewash away from home. The emotions were visible as Virat Kohli, who seems to know his stats, mentions about history to his teammates as they walk off the field. This has been a very rounded show from the Indians, quite complete, although they would have liked to be 'Test'ed.

Play extended in the second session. For how long? Shouldn't take much time..

All over, no, wait..

Fernando scoops one straight back at Shami, who stretches his right hand out but the ball hits him on the wrist, nowhere close to the palm. Simple chance goes down, India will have to wait for a while..

Three wickets in the first session and now five already in this session. Less than ten minutes on the clock to Tea for that one wicket remaining. Would they need an extension? Highly doubt. Should be over. The last pair of Kumara and Fernando out there in the middle.
