Bishoo to Thirimanne,  Bravo would be relieved. Bishoo strikes to remove Thirimanne. S

The fielder (Chandrika) at short midwicket leaps and pouches after parrying it... 8)

                                           
 

37.1

Taylor to Thirimanne, edged and put down by Darren Bravo at slip.

Target locked, outside edge taken, but Bravo fumbles it on the floor after moving to his left at first slip..
 

250 - 2 after 90 overs

Current partnership  149 runs, 49.0 overs, RR: 3.04 (Karunaratne 75, Chandimal 72)

Catches Win Matches...Chandimal dropped on 11  :-[

50.3
Bishoo to Chandimal,  Another drop, Taylor is the culprit. Flatter and quicker on off, Chandimal loads up for a pull but does not

middle it. He skews it to mid-on, where Taylor backtracks and shells it


                                         

West Indies did themselves no good by dropping two catches in the middle session.  >


The first spill didn't cost them - Lahiru Thirimanne, the reprieved batsman, was disimissed soon after - but the other -

a backtracking Jerome Taylor failing to grasp Dinesh Chandimal at mid-on when he miscued an attempted pull off Devendra Bishoo

- certainly did. Chandimal, who was on 11 at that point, went on to end the day unbeaten on 72,

having added 149 with Karunaratne.

Wi will sweat in the sun

Not if they hold catches and dont allow Partnerships 

Another nice and sunny day, in Galle

Gabriel to Chandimal, another chance goes down begging. Dropped. Short and wide outside off, Chandimal crunches a cut
