India has levelled the series with Sri Lanka in the final cricket Test at Colombo, with a five-wicket victory.
VVS Laxman scored a magnificent unbeaten century to earn the visitors the 1-1 tie in the series.
The elegant middle-order batsman had to use opener Virender Sehwag as a runner due to cramp as he scored his 17th Test hundred to remain unbeaten on 103.
Suresh Raina, who helped in an unbroken sixth-wicket stand of 87, finished the match off in style shortly before the scheduled tea break by clouting Chanaka Welegedara for six to remain 41 not out as India chased down the 257 needed for victory.
Laxman was also involved in an important fifth-wicket partnership of 109 with Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 54 before being dismissed by Suraj Randiv as the off-spinner captured his first five-wicket haul in Test cricket.
