Colombo: Kumar Sangakkara hit an unbeaten 61 in his 100th Test as Sri Lanka responded bravely to Australia’s 316 in the third and final game of the series in Colombo on Saturday. Sri Lanka closed the second day at 166-2 in their first innings after a batting masterclass from Michael Hussey had steered the tourists out of trouble with a knock of 118 at the Sinhalese Sports Club. Mahela Jayawardene chipped in with 31 not out in a third-wicket stand of 69 with Sangakkara to leave the hosts 150 runs behind with eight wickets in hand. Hussey, a veteran of 62 Tests, passed 5,000 Test runs on way to his 15th century.
