And Jason Holder has declared. Sri Lanka need 453 to win.

Was 450 the target WI had in mind from the start? Or was this decision based on the cloudy skies? Either way, the declaration was long time coming and no better time than now to ask the visitors to bat again. It's a mammoth task, but cricket's a very funny game. We'll be back for the fourth innings in just a bit. Let your comments coming in till then.

Rivlud: "Dhananjaya De Silva saved that match against India last year in the polluted city of Delhi in awful conditions, would of been a huge boost if he had played here and bowled some overs to keep it tight! Truely was a sad story, shown a lot of courage to come back and play asap! Massive credit to him, sucha difficult time!"

Saeed Rasul: "Methinks the Windies are tiring their own bowlers, by asking them to bat."

getting slightly windy now. Rain incoming, perhaps? Cloudy too.

Swapnil Jain: "I dont think its a risky plan by West Indies. Sri Lanka didnt survive more than 2 sessions in 1st innings. So, its very unlikely that they will survive 5 sessions in the 4th innings"

karthikeya manc: "@Jeremy, think WI want to tire SL on the field before putting them in. " -- Yep, that's a theory that was promulgated by Powell lsat evening

Rivlud: "Any news on Dhananjaya De Silva's availability for this series, guessing he should play the 2nd and 3rd Tests all being okay?" -- Yep, he should be available. What a devastating story though

Jeremy: "Just joined the match. Can someone tell me why hasn't WI declared? Lack of confidence to bowl out SL? It's your match WI!" -- Just trying to push the game completely beyond SL's reach. But it's a risky plan. Wouldn't want to end up drawing the Test after dominating it completely
