Dimuth Karunaratne nudges Sri Lanka lead past 400 in Zimbabwe Test
Sri Lanka's Dimuth Karunaratne celebrates reaching his half century
Harare - Arab Today
Dimuth Karunaratne closed in on a second century in as many Tests as Sri Lanka's lead passed 400 on the fourth morning of the second Test at Harare Sports Club on Wednesday.
Although Zimbabwe's bowlers were able to restrict the Sri Lankan scoring in a slow session, Karunaratne's unbeaten 86 took his side to lunch on 177 for five, giving them an overall lead of 409.
Sri Lanka began the penultimate day of the series, which they lead 1-0, on 102-4 and found the going tough early on.
Fast bowler Chris Mpofu started his day with six straight maidens, and the tourists scored just 33 runs in 15 overs before the drinks break.
Donald Tiripano then broke a 69-run stand for the fifth wicket when he trapped Asela Gunaratne lbw for 39, but Karunaratne was immovable and was joined by wicketkeeper-batsman Kusal Perera, who went to lunch on 10 not out.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
