Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews said it would "an emotional game for all of us" as Kumar Sangakarra gets set for his last Test match.

Script: "It is going to be an emotional game for all of us. You know a great servant for Sri Lanka cricket, a great servant for the team, a great man being is going to say goodbye to the team. It is going to be very emotional but we can't thank him enough for what he has done for Sri Lanka cricket and the team over the past so many years, so we thank him truly and wish him all the best for his future endeavours. The best we could do is try and win the game so that we win the series and that will be the best farewell ever for him".

"From what i can see he just wants to score a hundred tomorrow, he has worked extremely hard and he is so determined to do that, e truly wish and hope that he does that. Yeah, its going to be an emotional game for him as well because he has been with us for so long and he has been with the national team for so long and as i always say he has been the backbone of Sri Lankan cricket's batting over the past eighteen years".

"India had us by our throats for three and half days and the courage and character the boys showed is unbelievable, to come back within three sessions to win the game is unbelievable. Now we have already shoved it under the carpet and it is history now. We got two more games to go, we have to play very good cricket to beat India, no matter where we play, home or away, it is a tremendous challenge to beat India".

"Looks a bit of ..there is a little bit of grass on the wicket. So you can't really decide on the combination , we just have to play what we get, we will play our best cricket so that we don't worry about the wicket too much".
