selenium xpath, how to select last matching element in a table?

Given

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>service1</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>service2</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>service3</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>blip</td>
  </tr>
</table>

How can I select the last 'service-n' row when I don't know what n will be? I have tried adding [last()] but it didn't work.

I have:

//table//tr//td[contains(text(),'service')]

but it selects the 1st row and I want the last one.
I can't use tr[3] because in reality the number of 'service-n' rows is dynamic and changes a lot.

(//div[contains(@id , "b" )])[last()]

For Example :-

if //div[@id = "abc"] is giving 10 elements ,

We want to select 4th element we have to give ,

(//div[@id = "abc"])[4]

Similarly for last element

(//div[@id = "abc"])[last()]

Format

(Xpath)[last()]

(//div[@id='name'])[last()]

By using we can get the last element of the relevant filed.

//div[@id='name'][last()]

<table id="table1">
 <tbody>
  <tr id="tr1">
   <td id="td1"></td>
   <td id="td2"></td>
  <tr>
  <tr id="tr2">
   <td id="td3"></td>
   <td id="td4"></td>
  <tr>
 <tbody>
</table>

Then to target last td of last tr we can have xpath as:xpath="//table[@id='table1']//tr[last()]//td[last()]";

List<WebElement> allElement=fd.findElements(By.xpath("//table//td[contains(.,'service')]");
int count=allElement.size();
allElement.get(count-1).click();

try with cssSelector, this way.

By.cssSelector("table tr:last-child td")

The answer was exactly where I put the [last()] and I had it in the wrong place

It goes here:

//div[@id='content']//table//tr[last()]//td[contains(text(),'service')][last()]/following-sibling::td[2]

Not here:

//div[@id='content']//table//tr[last()]//td[contains(text(),'service')]/following-sibling::td[2][last()]
