COLOMBO (Reuters) - Former captain Mahela Jayawardene hit a classy unbeaten century to help Sri Lanka close on 305 for five on the first day of the second test against South Africa on Thursday.

In a chanceless six hours at the crease, Jayawardene finished on 140 not out, off 225 balls, including one six and 16 fours to give Sri Lanka a solid start in their bid to level the two-match series.
