J P: "Smith should be given another chance against Bangladesh. He fails there and then someone else deserves his spot. He's an asset in regional cricket, somewhat not there in international cricket."
4.45pm So, Sri Lanka have a tricky period, possibly two overs to bat before tea. West Indies wouldn't mind bowling now, with twilight set to kick-in. We've seen in the past that the ball does strange things especially when natural light dips and artificial light takes over. Will the visitors approach this any differently? One thing's for sure, they will need a lot of patience and good application to make a fist of this.
Third four-for for Lahiru Kumara in the series. Kasun Rajitha also had an impressive outing. Over to their young batsmen to see the shine off, and possibly pitch tent to have a shot at levelling the series. Join us shortly.

Only the two slips now, a man position just to the left of where a traditional square leg would be.
Savindu S: "This is a tough pitch but not a bad one at all. Once you get past the new ball it becomes manageable. Number of wickets Sri lanka lose to new ball will decide the fate of this match."
