Mahela Jayawardene (28 off 30 balls), Russel Arnold (20) and Hashan Tillkaratne (11) got to starts but failed to convert them into big scores. Sangakkara held fort like a true fighter and kept scoring runs as wickets fell at regular intervals. Javagal Srinath was the pick of the bowlers with 5/114, but was guilty of being erratic and giving away far too many runs. Sangakkara reached his maiden Test hundred and remained unbeaten on 105 off 226 balls, striking 13 boundaries. Sri Lanka took a first innings lead of 175 runs as their innings came to a close on 362 off 107.5 overs
