Dimuth Karunaratne keeps Sri Lanka alive

Christchruch: Two late wickets by Trent Boult put New Zealand back in control of the first Test against Sri Lanka on Sunday after a maiden Test century by Dimuth Karunaratne had briefly given the tourists a glimmer of hope.Sri Lanka were closing in on wiping out their 303-run first innings deficit with seven wickets in hand when Boult brought their cautious progress at Christchurch’s Hagley Oval to a halt.

He removed the defiant Karunaratne for 152 and Niroshan Dickwella for four as Sri Lanka were reduced to 293-5 at stumps, still 10 runs from making New Zealand bat again. Angelo Mathews is not out 53 with Tharindu Kaushal on five while Boult, New Zealand’s chief wicket-taker, has three for 62. Karunaratne was annoyed with his dismissal which came as he was about to appeal against the fading light.

“The light was a bit low. Boult was bowling beautifully at that time. I wanted to tell the umpires it was difficult to bat and just get to the dressing room,” he said.Karunaratne believed a lead of 150 was possible for Sri Lanka and would be competitive on a turning wicket.But New Zealand wicketkeeper BJ Watling said Boult’s late double strike kept the initiative with the Black Caps. “To make the bang-bang tonight put us back in the position where we look comfortable,” Watling said.
