Mathews started his innings on Sunday with his side in deep trouble at 35-3. He swiftly turned things around, however, with partnerships of 45 with Upul Tharanga and 81 with Jehan Mubarak for the fourth and fifth wickets, respectively, and then a seventh-wicket stand of 117 with wicketkeeper Dinesh Chandimal.
No team has chased more than 352 to win a test match in Sri Lanka before.
