    Lahiru Kumara b Ravichandran Ashwin 10 (15)

    OUT! Bowled. Ravichandran Ashwin to Lahiru Kumara. Carrom length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, missed. Bowled him, Ashwin seals the 3-0 series win with a perfectly pitched carrom ball that smashes into off stump. India are jubilant, Sri Lanka have been humbled. What a dominant display it has been by Virat Kohli's side, a massive margin of victory in the end. After three wickets in the first hour, a three day finish always looked to be on the cards. Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal held up the tourists for a while, but in the end nothing could prevent a crushing loss for the hosts.

    Over the course of this three match series India have shown why they are such a juggernaut of a side in the subcontinent. Their talented batting order makes big contributions and their bowling attack extracts every ounce of assistance from mostly benign tracks. The next challenge on their horizon is to replicate that form in more alien conditions.

    For Sri Lanka, the story is a different one. They have some hard thinking to do about how to take this team forward. There is some talent at their disposal, no doubt, but the way they have folded in this match and series will be of concern. At times they have looked out of their depth, but a few injuries have made life harder for them.

    FOUR! Ravichandran Ashwin to Lahiru Kumara. Off break length ball, middle stump down the track driving, well timed past long on for 4 runs. Crashed down the ground, these two are going to have some fun and play their shots now. No need to hang around with the result obvious to all.

    Mohammed Shami to Vishwa Fernando. Length ball, outside off stump no foot movement driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled back to bowler for no runs, dropped catch by Shami. Dropped in his follow-through. Shami smiles but he probably should have taken that as it was awfully timed and looped back towards him. Perhaps he thought it was coming quicker at him and he misjudged it.

    Niroshan Dickwella c Ajinkya Rahane b Umesh Yadav 41 (52)

    OUT! Caught. Umesh Yadav to Niroshan Dickwella. Length ball, off stump backing away Steer, thick edge to gully, by Rahane. What a sharp catch by Rahane, he is such a safe fielder and made this look easy. It wasn't easy though, the ball was flying at some speed after Dickwella gave himself room and looked to chop down to third man. There is plenty of smiles out there for India. Dickwella played well but no more than that, batting with the tail is never simple.
