MIAMI (Reuters) - Captain Mahela Jayawardene guided Sri Lanka to 330 for five at lunch on the second day of the first test against West Indies in Georgetown, Guyana, on Sunday.
Jayawardene, who resumed on 25 in Sri Lanka's overnight 269 for four, batted patiently throughout the first session to reach the interval on 59 not out from 145 deliveries.
Wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene provided support, finishing on 21 not out.
The sixth-wicket pair shared an unbroken 53-run stand during a slow morning.
Tillakaratne Dilshan was the only player dismissed in the session, trapped lbw for 20 by fast bowler Jerome Taylor.
Taylor was again the most successful bowler, claiming four for 73 from 27 overs.
Opener Malinda Warnapura top-scored on the first day with a fine 120, his maiden test century.
