Lahiru Udara compiles maiden century

Opener Lahiru Udara compiled a maiden century in a 215-run partnership with Kamindu Mendis, which lifted Sri Lanka from 25-2 to 338-5 against West Indies at stumps on the first day of the second cricket Test

Udara fell for 188 in the last hour of the day, having wiped away his previous highest score in three tests of 40 and set up Sri Lanka’s innings after it won the toss.

He added a further 93 for the third wicket with captain Dhananjaya da Silva (33) whose dismissal, also in the last hour, gave Jayden Seales his 100th wicket in his 28th Test.

Sonal Dinusha was 5 and Kusal Mendis 0 not out at stumps. They will resume on Saturday against the second new ball, which is only two overs old.
