Sri Lanka vs Ireland: Stirling, Campher hit centuries as record-setting visitors post 492 on Day 2 of second Test

Firstpost  

Galle: Ireland posted their highest-ever Test score of 492 on Tuesday as Paul Stirling and Curtis Campher became only the third and fourth Irishmen to hit centuries in cricket’s longest format. Sri Lanka were 81 without loss in reply before rain stopped play on day two in Galle, 411 runs behind with Nishan Madushka unbeaten on 41 and Dimuth Karunaratne 39 not out. Sri Lanka’s openers negotiated the final session without much trouble, although Ireland’s quicks found the outside edge of Madushka’s bat with the new ball. “That should be the plan but we’ll see how it goes.” Ireland lost the first Test by an innings and 280 runs.
