Team India has leveled the three-match series 1-1, after beating Sri Lanka in the second Test in Colombo. Sri Lanka, which started the second innings with a target of 413 runs, lost all the wickets for just 134 runs.

With Mishra, taking the final wicket, India won by 278 runs. Chameera fell for the googly from Mishra not offering a shot and got wrapped on the front pad.

Yesterday, India declared their second innings at 325 for eight when 27-year-old Rahane (126) notched up his fourth Test century. Early wickets were snapped to leave Sri Lankans in a shaky position at the end of an engrossing fourth day.

Virat said, “Happy with my first win. Came close twice before - once in Adelaide, once in Galle. Relieved that we regrouped and put in a great performance. Rahul's blinder set the day up nicely. He helped us lift ourselves. We did not want the game to go too far ahead.”
