COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) Dinesh Chandimal and Dhananjaya de Silva scored centuries as Sri Lanka was bowled out for 355 in its first innings on the second day of the third test on Sunday.
Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc took his third five-wicket haul in the series after Chandimal and de Silva shared 211 runs for the sixth wicket, rebuilding the innings from a precarious 26 for five.
After Sri Lanka resumed at 299 for seven after lunch, Rangana Herath retired after getting hit by the ball in the abdomen and did not return to bat.
Chandimal was caught behind for 132 off Starc, facing 256 balls and hitting 13 boundaries and a six.
