On the 3rd Day, Thilan Samaraweera and Suraj Randiv made a record seventh-wicket partnership to help Sri Lanka avoid the follow on against New Zealand in the second Test at P. Sara Oval on Tuesday.
But Sri Lanka, after reaching 225 for 6 when stumps was called early for bad light, still trailed the tourists by 187 runs on the first innings. New Zealand made 412. Middle-order batsman Samaraweera remain unbeaten on 76, and Randiv not out on 34 for his best score in Test cricket.
Earlier, Tim Southee picked up both overnight batsmen earlier after Sri Lanka resumed on 43 for 3. Opener Tharanga Paranavithana, was caught behind for 40 at 102 for 4 after been dropped in the slips by Taylor on 32. Mathews went a bit later for 47 as he edged to the slips and Martin Guptill took a great one-handed diving catch.
Wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene came in and became the last wicket to go, after lunch at 128 for 6, caught in the deep off spinner Jeetan Patel on 12.
Afterwards, Samaraweera and Randiv partnered to make record 97 seventh wicket at P. Sara Oval, improving on the 80-run stand between Mahela Jayawardene and Prasanna Jayawardene in 2008 victory against India. Samaraweera came for the rescue after Angelo Mathews fell in the morning on 103 for 5 and batted at ease and completed his 30th half century. Sri Lanka avoided the follow on when Samaraweera scored a boundary off an edge that flew over the slip cordon off the bowling of Trent Boult. Southee was 4 for 51 by day’s end.
