Lakmal to Mayers, dropped by third slip! Lakmal isn't happy. Nissanka the fielder.

Good length, on off. Angling in. Tries to fend, takes the edge. Fielder dived to his left, but the ball popped out.Lakmal especially angry since third slip came in to that position just one ball earlier

87- 3

27.3
Vishwa Fernando to Mayers, OUT, tried to drive, got the edge, and keeper dived diagonally forward to catch. But it's a low catch

so the umpire wants to confirm if the catch was clean. Very clean

Stumps, day 1

5.35 pm 115 runs in the final session for West Indies. Sri Lanka don't really justify their decision to bowl first

as a trio of half-century partnerships take West Indies through the day guided by their captain

Kraigg Brathwaite who will begin tomorrow morning on strike with just a single needed

to bring up what would be his : NINTH Test century

350 - 8 after 107 overs

Braff 123*

354 all out !

LUNCH, day 2 ~

111.1
Chameera to Brathwaite, OUT drags on! Good length ball on fourth stump, not really the width to cut,

but Brathwaite tries to force the issue with Gabriel the last man alongside. It jags in off the pitch a touch

to further cramp him for room and the result is an inside/bottom edge onto the stumps.

Kraigg Brathwaite b Chameera 126 (514m 311b 13x4 0x6) SR: 40.51
