Sangakkara century carries Sri Lanka to 238
A classy century from Kumar Sangakkara guided Sri Lanka to a competitive 6 for 238 after 50 overs in their crucial tri-series match with India at the Adelaide Oval on Tuesday afternoon.
Sangakkara worked the India attack all around the ground in a marvellous 128 www.goldengoosesneaker.us off 155 balls to rescue Sri Lanka after a disastrous start.
The wicket-keeper combined with his captain Mahela Jayawardene for a 153-run partnership after the pair came together with the score at 2 for 6.
The valuable stand was broken up when Jayawardene was run out for 71 in unfortunate fashion.
The Sri Lankan captain was at the non-striker's end when a well-timed straight drive from Sangakkara brushed the fingers of Praveen Kumar before hitting the stumps catching Jayawardene short of his crease.
In an odd coincidence, veteran Sanath Jayasuriya was run out for a duck in the exact same circumstances in the third over.
Two overs earlier, India got off to a dream start dismissing Tillakaratne Dilshan, caught behind off the bowling of Munaf Patel for 4 on just the fourth ball of the innings.
But with their team in serious trouble Sangakkara and Jayawardene steadied the

ship with some responsible batting.
The experienced combination were occasionally worried by the Indian bowlers but otherwise kept their focus at the crease.
Both batsman displayed finesse and controlled aggression throughout their innings as they gained a slight ascendancy over the India in the middle overs.
Following the exit of Jayawardene, a piece of individual brilliance by Rohit Sharma at backward point ran out Chamara Kapugedera for 1.
However Sangakkara kept the momentum moving as he swiftly reached his seventh one-day international century with a wide array of attacking shots.
He was eventually caught on the mid-wicket boundary and some late quick wickets by the Indians proved crucial as they restricted the flow of runs in the final overs.
India's pace attack bowled well, without luck at times, as they struggled to break down the Jayawardene-Sangakkara partnership.
