Sri Lanka 252-2 In Reply To Pakistan’s 451

Kumar Sangakkara rose to fourth place in the list of century-makers as he and the retiring Mahela Jayawardene plundered Pakistan´s bowlers on the third day of the first Test in Galle on Friday.

The hosts, who began the day at 99-1 in reply to Pakistan´s 451, carried their first innings from the lunch score of 174-2 to 252 without further loss by tea.

Sri Lanka trail by 199 runs with eight wickets in hand. Left-handed Sangakkara — who turns 37 in October — was unbeaten on 102, his seventh three-figure knock in the last 14 Tests, taking his overall tally to 37 centuries.

Only the retired trio of India´s Sachin Tendulkar, with 51 centuries, Jacques Kallis of South Africa who scored 45, and Ricky Ponting of Australia on 41, has scored more hundreds.

Jayawardene, set to quit Test cricket at the end of this two-Test series, showed he was good enough to prolong his 17-year career as he survived an anxious start to hit an unbeaten 55.

The tried and trusted duo of Sangakkara and Jayawardene, whose partnership of 624 against South Africa in Colombo in 2006 remains a world record, have so far put on 108 for the third wicket.
