The West Indies need 244 runs to level the series, but their
start has not been good. Kraigg Brathwaite went out after scoring a scratchy 3
just before tea. The rain poured heavily since then and led to a premature end
to the rest of the day’s play.
Anyhow, the Caribbean
bowling hero was Brathwaite whose wicket tally from 81 first class matches is
just 3, rose to the occasion to bag a six-wicket haul and surprised everyone. Batting was not an easy task at P Sara Oval
and useful contributions from Angelo Mathews and Milinda Siriwardana helped the
Lankans to take a competitive lead.
It’s not going to be an easy task for the Caribbean batters
tomorrow to chase down this total against Dhamika Prasad, Nuwan Pardeep and
Rangana Herath.
Sri Lanka will be looking to script their first Test series
win of this year.
Thank You
