Live cricket score: India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd ODI, Mohali

Game, set and match

Eventually, Sri Lanka crashed to a 141-run defeat. On a day, when Rohit thwacked a marvellous 208 not out, the tourists needed significant contributions. Unfortunately, only Mathews showed his class and quality with a valiant ton.

The day certainly belonged to India's stand-in skipper Rohit. The way he hit the accelerator pedal after completing his hundred to blaze his way to double century capsulised his dollops of skill.

Lakmal was tonked for four sixes while Pradeep was lap swept into the stands. It was an innings that touched towering heights and he deservedly reached the milestone of 200.

Can India wrap up the series with a win in the final game? Or Sri Lanka will bounce back after this chastening experience to take home the series? All questions would be answered when the two teams meet again in Vishakapatnam.

The lone warrior

Mathews has amassed a hundred. He has largely played a lone hand. Interestingly, this is only his second century in the 50-over format.

Chahal dents Sri Lanka

The legspinner removed both Gunaratne and Perera (on the back of Dhoni's fine catch) as the visitors slid further to 166 for 6. Mathews playing a lone hand for Sri Lanka.

Mathews in good nick

Angelo Mathews, the veteran all rounder, has rocketed to 44 off 48. A bit of fight shown by Sri Lanka but they are so far behind in the game that it will only take a miracle for the visitors to win from here.

Maiden ODI wicket

Sundar has bagged his first ODI wicket in his second over, castling Thirimanne. Great moment for the promising all rounder. Poor stroke by Thirimanne as he tried a reverse sweep and could only hear the death rattle.

Early trouble

Sri Lanka needed a bright start after the kind of pumelling they got at the hands of Rohit. Unfortunately for them, Hardik dismissed Tharanga in the fourth over to peg them back.

Bumrah then prised out Gunathilaka to leave them two down.

The best opener in the 50-over format?
