Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal each struck hundreds to guide Sri Lanka towards a sizeable first-innings lead in the second Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sri Lanka reached 459 by tea on the fourth day without losing a wicket after resuming on 282-5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mathews was batting on 123 and Chandimal on 120, having guided the visitors to a 94-run lead at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The pair had so far added 193 runs in their unbroken sixth-wicket stand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mathews was given out caught behind off Khaled Ahmed on 94 but survived on review.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Thursday brought his second Test century in the series and the 13th in his career with a single off Mosaddek Hossain before luck smiled on him again.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He was given leg-before off Mosaddek at 105 but the decision was reversed on review.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chandimal enjoyed a similar lucky spell in the morning session after a caught behind call on the fourth ball of Mominul Haque's first over was overturned.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Two balls later the right-hander narrowly survived a stumping chance on 44.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He later hit Ebadot Hossain for two successive fours before reaching his 12th Test century with a single in the same over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
