Kumar hunts Tigers again

Bishwajit Roy from Chittagong
Kumar Sangakkara put another feather on his illustrious cap with yet another hundred against his favourite side and young Dinesh Chandimal cashed in with his third hundred against the toothless home bowling attack to set an improbable target of 467 for the Tigers on the fourth day of the second and final Test at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium yesterday.
Still, the end was not a sordid one for the home side as they left the field with hopes intact as openers Tamim Iqbal and Shamsur Rahman survived the testing eight overs. The hope is to play for a draw but it will not be an easy one for Mushfiqur Rahim's men on a pitch which has begun to turn occasionally while offering dual bounce. Tamim and Shamsur had some nervy moments and survived some close shouts but the home side ended without any casualty for 12 runs.
In the morning the hope was on last specialist batsman Mahmudullah Riyad when Bangladesh resumed the day on 409-8 but the right-hander's careless shot in the fourth ball of the day put paid to hopes of the home side reducing the deficit significantly, which stood at 161 at innings' end.
Riyad however did not wait long to make up for his batting failure as he picked up both Sri Lanka openers Dimuth Karunaratne and Kaushal Silva. Shakib Al Hasan then trapped Mahela Jayawardene in front as Sri Lanka were reduced to 78 for four.
But Sangakkara was there to make his 35th career hundred and became only the second batsman to score a hundred after a triple century in a match after England's Graham Gooch.
The left-hander however must thank Nasir Hossain, who grassed a catch after the batsman mishit a ball from Shakib when on
36, leaving Shakib fuming in extreme frustration. Thereafter, a second mistake was not forthcoming from a batsman of Sangakkara's class and he completed his hundred in style by hitting Shohag Gazi for a six over wide long on. He has a match tally of424, which is the third-highest in Tests.
The elegant batsman had an average of 81 against Bangladesh before this match and has ended with 95.57, his highest against any team.
Sri Lanka declared their second innings on 305 for four only after Chandimal completed his third ton, all against the Tigers, by taking a single pushing spinner Shohag Gazi through square leg to leave Bangladesh to play out the twenty remaining minutes of the day.
It was a surprise to Mushfiqur fielding during most of the Sri Lanka innings as the skipper, who injured a finger on his left hand on the first day, will sit out theT20 series as a precaution.
