Vaas' perfect response

AFP, Kandy
Chaminda Vaas upstaged Daren Powell as Sri Lanka hit back after being shot out for 150 on a dramatic opening day of the second cricket Test against the West Indies here on Friday.
Left-arm seamer Vaas grabbed 417 to leave the depleted tourists tottering at 92-5 in reply by stumps as 15 wickets fell during the day on a slow track at theAsgiriya Stadium.
Powell took a personal best of 5-25 and Tino Best chipped in with 3-50 as Sri Lanka lasted only 46.1 overs after being sent to bat by Shivnarine Chanderpaul in overcast conditions.
The second-string West Indians were, however, under pressure even in the four overs they faced before tea when openers Xavier Marshall and debutant Ryan Ramdass were dismissed in the space of two deliveries.
Ramdass was run out for three, while Marshall drove the next ball from Vaas to Sri Lankan captain Marvan Atapattu at mid-off.
The West Indians slipped from 122 at tea to 27-4 as Vaas bowled Runako Morton and then claimed the prize scalp of Chanderpaul, trapped leg-before for 13.
Sylvester Joseph and Narsingh Deonarine added 48 for the fifth wicket before Vaas, returning for his second spell, broke through having Joseph caught in the slips.
At stumps, Deonarine was unbeaten after a well-crafted 36 and Denesh Ramdin was on eight.
Prolific off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, who has been suffering from a flu virus over the last few days, bowled only three overs after making an unbeaten 18 with the bat.
Earlier Powell, the 27-year-old Jamaican, worked up good pace to return career-best figures in only his 12th Test match.
Powell had Sanath Jayasuriya caught behind in his second over and struck again two overs later when Kumar Sangakkara edged a wild slash to Morton at second slip.
At the other end, Atapattu (17) was bowled first ball by Best, who replaced Jermaine Lawson in the 12th over.
Mahela Jayawardena edged Best to Morton to make Sri Lanka 42-4 before Dilshan and Samaraweera retrieved the situation.
Dilshan, whose belligerent batting included three consecutive boundaries off Best, was run out in the last over before lunch. Samaraweera was caught at short-leg off spinner Omari Banks after the resumption.
The Sri Lankans wore black armbands to mourn the death of former Test cricketer Roshan Gunaratne who died in the United States on Thursday aged 43.
Gunaratne, a leg-spinner, played one Test match against Australia at Kandyin 1983.
