Kumar Sangakkara slammed a superb double-century as Sri Lanka took command of the second and final Test against South Africa at the Sinhalese Sports Club ground here on Thursday.
The stylish left-hander struck 232 in Sri Lanka's big first innings total of 470. South Africa were 116-3 at close of the second day's play, with Graeme Smith (49) and Jacques Kallis (four) the not out batsmen.
Sangakkara ensured that the home side, without the services of an indisposed Muttiah Murali-tharan, got enough runs to put them in with a chance of winning their first Test series against South Africa.
The 26-year-old showed his penchant for getting big scores. He has now
converted three of his six centuries into double-tons, having already crossed the 200-run mark against Zimbabwe and Pakistan.
Sangakkara, 157 overnight, continued in the same vein to hit some sweet drives on either side of the wicket. His 529-minute innings saw him face 357 balls and unleash 32 fours and a six over square-leg off left-arm spinner Nicky Boje.
He was eventually out flashing the bat outside off stump with Kallis pouching the catch at first slip off paceman Shaun Pollock, who also removed Tillakaratne Dilshan to finish with figures of 4-81.
Sangakkara could not improve on his career-best 270 against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo earlier this year but did go past his second highest score of 230 against Pakistan at Lahore two years ago.
Sangakkara, who survived a chance on Wednesday, was lucky to be let off
again as Pollock failed to latch on to a difficult return catch when the batsman was on 177.
Upul Chandana, coming in at number nine, contributed a useful 40 as he put on 33 runs with last man Lasith Malinga. Chandana was out stumped by Mark Boucher off Boje after hitting six fours off 81 balls.
Pace bowler Makhaya Ntini and Boje finished with two wickets apiece.
South Africa's reply did not start on a bright note as they lost opener Herschelle Gibbs in the very first over.
Gibbs, who missed the drawn first Test in Galle because of an ankle injury, was trapped lbw by an in-swinger from left-arm seamer Vaas before he could get off the mark.
Van Jaarsveld faced some tense early moments with young pacer Lasith Malinga in operation and also survived an appeal for a catch by

Thilan Samaraweera at slip off left-arm spinner Rangan Herath.
Third umpire Asoka de Silva gave the benefit of doubt to the batsman as TV replays could not confirm whether the catch was taken cleanly.
Jaarsveld laboured hard for 51 off 105 balls with six fours before becoming the first of Sanath Jayasuriya's two victims.
The left-arm spinner had him caught at cover with his second ball of the match and bowled Nicky Boje two deliveries later.
