#4 Dinesh Chandimal finds much-needed support
Dinesh Chandimal has been the lone warrior in Sri Lanka's miserable time in Test cricket. The skipper has fought through thick and thin, harnessing the willpower and resolve of former great Mahela Jayawardene, but has found little support.
However, Angelo Mathews' welcome return to form saw Chandimal finally batting with a bit of freedom and the captain no longer looked weighed down by the occasion. A 181-run partnership between the two ensured that Sri Lanka at least found a foothold back in the game. Chandimal fought through the day, smashing an unbeaten 147 and carrying Sri Lanka's batting on his shoulders.
