4:59pm Here they are, the two Kusals - Perera and Mendis. Only one of them is naturally suited to playing out the final session. Roach with the new ball, three slips and a gully.
Twarit: "Completely disagree that lakmal was "superb" He did not attack the stumps enough and the longer dorwich stayed out there his confidence grew." --- I mean, it wasn't because of Lakmal that Dowrich stayed in.
Chintu : "Great captaincy by holder. Great chance to roll some wickets early on and cheekily avoid kumara from getting a 5-for"
Rivlud: "I am surprised that Dowrich wasn't allowed to make a 150, would of been nice, guessing weather is going to make further interruptions in the next 3 days? This period will be key for West Indies, need to take some wickets ahead of tomorrow to apply the pressure!"
4:48pm Well, they've declared. Five balls of batting practice for Miguel Cummins before he escorts Dowrich off the ground. 125 not out for the wicketkeeper, who is going to be straight out in about ten minutes. Sri Lanka have just under an hour to bat tonight. Kumara won't finish with a five-for after all. If anyone's put in as much physical effort as Dowrich, it's him. A good innings of Test cricket for him. Lakmal was superb too. But nearly two days in the field, during which their main spinners bowled only 67 of the 154 overs is the real story of Sri Lanka's struggle. Catch you in a bit.
Abhijeet : "Watching Cricket being played in Caribbean always reminds me of India losing that Jamaica ODI by 1 run in 2006, Sarwan's 98, Bravo's slower low full toss Yuvi Missing it and getting bowled for 93"
