Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne struck his second successive century as his side kept Bangladesh at bay by reaching 188 for no loss at tea on day one of the second Test at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
At the second interval of the day, Karunaratne who scored his career best 244 in only innings of first Test, was batting on 106 off 175, hitting 13 boundaries with Lahiru Thirimanne on 80. Thirimanne who closed in on his third century hit eight fours in his knock, playing 174 balls.
The duo though made a cautious start, scoring just 66 runs at lunch, came out from the shell as the time progressed. In form Karunaratne indeed led the charge as he came hard on Bangladeshi bowlers after being reprieved on 28 as he edged a Taskin Ahmed delivery to first slip where Nazmul Hossain Shanto put down the chance.
