Three centurions make it Sri Lanka’s day
Monitoring Report

On a slow, benign SSC track, Sri Lanka accumulated ruthlessly, and looked set to get themselves a total that would rule out a defeat. They were helped by the Indian fielders who did not accept the half-chances that came their way. Three contrasting centuries were scored: Mahela Jayawardene was elegant from start to finish, Malinda Warnapura surer and grittier than yesterday, and Thilan Samarweera - who came in to bat when the fielders and bowlers were at their most tired - almost unobtrusively capitalised with an unbeaten 111.
There were gripping passages of play when an Indian bowler bowled well from one end, but that didn’t translate into breaks for them. Also India would have ended with one more wicket but for the review system for umpiring decisions, which made its debut in this Test.
