Even going at Kandy

New Zealand's batsmen softened Sri Lanka's spin bowlers with a valiant display on the third day of the rain-hit second and final cricket Test here on Monday.
Jacob Oram hit a career-best 74 and Mark Richardson and Daniel Vettori contributed 55 apiece as the tourists recovered from a precarious 11-3 late on Sunday to make 305 in their first innings.
Sri Lanka closed the day at 94-2 in reply in a match headed for a draw after the entire first day's play and the first two sessions of the second day were cancelled due to the slushy outfield at the rain-ravaged Asgiriya Stadium.
Former captain Sanath Jayasuriya was unbeaten on an aggressive 53, while his successor Hashan Tillakaratne was on 10.
The third day was marred by a sickening on-field collision between Vettori and Sri Lanka's Marvan Atapattu following a successful run out attempt by the fielder.
Atapattu's face hit Vettori's helmet and both players were sprawled on the field for several minutes before an ambulance came on to the arena and rushed them to hospital.
Vettori injured his left ankle when he slumped to the ground, while Atapattu suffered concussions and bruises on the face, according to the medical staff who attended the players.
"Both players are under observation in hospital," said Sri Lankan team manager Ajit Jayasekera. "I can't say yet how serious the injuries are."
Initial reports suggest the injuries may keep both players out of the limited-overs tri-series between New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka starting on May 10.
The Kiwis scored 96 runs from 41 overs in the extended 150-minute morning session to crawl from their overnight score of 75-4 to 171-5 by lunch.
Left-handed Richardson batted for almost four hours to make 55 before he was snapped up at shortleg by Kumar Sangakkara off young leg-spinner Kaushalya Lokuarachchi.
It was Richardson's second half-century of the series, having made 85 in the drawn first Test at Colombo last week.
