“There’s no internal bleeding and the scans show no structural damage,” he added.
“He underwent scans at a hospital in Colombo and will be kept overnight for observation,” Arjuna de Silva, the head of the Sri Lanka Cricket medical panel, told AFP. Medical staff attended to him on the ground before he was taken on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance. The West Indies had a scare when Karunaratne attempted a full-blooded pull shot off the bowling of Chase and the ball crashed onto the helmet grill of Solozano, who was fielding at short leg. He has bagged more than 750 runs in 2021, including a career-best 244 against Bangladesh, despite only playing 10 innings. This was Karunaratne’s 13th Test century and fourth this year. Part-time spinner Roston Chase dismissed Oshada Fernando and Angelo Mathews for three each in quick succession to bring the West Indies back into the game.īut Sri Lanka wrestled back the initiative as Karunaratne shared a 97-run partnership with Dhananjaya de Silva for the fourth wicket. Karunaratne batted through the day after winning the toss on a slow surface, making a 139-run stand for the first wicket with Pathum Nissanka.
Bad light forced an early end to the day’s play in Galle with two overs remaining and the hosts finishing on 267-3.
