WI’s Solozano hospitalised; SL take upper hand on Day 1

Dimuth Karunaratne

Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne (139) slammed an unbeaten hundred to give his team the upper hand in Sunday's opening Test against the West Indies, whose debutant Jeremy Solozano was hospitalised after being hit while fielding.

Bad light forced an early end to the day's play with two overs remaining and the hosts finishing on 267-3. WI had a scare when Karunaratne attempted a pull shot and the ball crashed onto the helmet grill of Solozano, who was fielding at short leg. Medical staff attended to him on the ground before he was taken on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance.
