Dhammika will start the proceedinds with the ball. Brathwaite will take the strike first up. Two slips and a gully in place.

Jomel Warrican, the debutant, was the pick of the bowlers as he finished with 4/67. Now, it is upto the West Indian batters to seize the advantage that their bowlers have given them. Mind you, it won't be easy at all though. With the pitch offering enough assistance to the bowlers, Sri Lanka's 200 could well turn out to be a good score as well. For the West Indian openers, their primary job will be to see out the rest of the day. Play can continue for around 45 minutes from now, but with the light fading, the day's play could be stopped earlier.

The West Indian side will be extremely happy with the Sri Lankan total in the first innings, considering that Sri Lanka opted to bat after winning the toss. Dilruwan Perera was the first to depart after the tea break, getting stumped off Bishoo after he failed to ground his back foot inside the crease. Siriwardana kept playing his shots and was ably supported by Herath before Taylor took a good catch at the boundary rope to send Siriwardana back. Dhammika and Pradeep didn't stick around much longer, getting out in a space of 3 balls.

65.6 - Jomel Warrican to Pradeep, out Lbw!! Loopy full delivery on the stumps, Pradeep couldn't bring his bat down in time and the ball struck his boot first. The West Indians immediately went up in unison and umpire Fry raised his finger in a flash. Pradeep lbw b Jomel Warrican 0(2)

Jomel Warrican to Pradeep, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Pradeep has been given out lbw. He has decided to review the decision. Warrican's front foot is fine. Looks like it hit the boot first, so there's no question regarding whethere there's an inside edge or not. Hawk-Eye shows that the ball was clipping the off stump, the onfield deicison is upheld and Sri Lanka have been bowled out for 200.

65.5 - Jomel Warrican to Pradeep, no run, quicker just outside off, Pradeep hangs back and blocks

Nuwan Pradeep, right handed bat, comes to the crease

It was tossed up just outside off, Siriwardana comes down the track and looks to loft him over the long-off fence, he got a little too close to the pitch of the ball and couldn't get the desired distance. Taylor at the boundary moves to his left, takes it with his arms outstretched over his left shoulder as he didn't want the momentum to take him over the rope. Nicely judged by the fast bowler and the visitors will now be looking to clean the tail quickly. Siriwardana c Jerome Taylor b Jomel Warrican 68(111) [4s-6 6s-2]

Ramdin collects the ball quickly and whips the bails off. Even though it appeared that Perera may have dragged his foot back inside the crease, it seemed as if it was in the air when the stumps were disturbed. Third umpire Erasmus took a lot of time, checked a number of angles and replays before giving the marching orders to Perera. Dilruwan Perera st Ramdin b Devendra Bishoo 5(28)

Devendra Bishoo to Dilruwan Perera, THATS OUT!! Stumped!!

Third umpire pressed into service to check a stumping decision. Bishoo's front foot is fine. Did Perera just drag his foot back in time? Or is it in the air? Looks like it is in the air when the bails were dislodged. Third umpire Erasmus has made his decision and it's OUT

Welcome back. The players are striding out to the middle. Warrican will start the proceedings after tea. Two slips and a short leg in place

Siriwardana though continued to impress, especially when he smashed two sixes off Warrican in the penultimate over of the session, getting to his maiden fifty with the second of those sixes. He'll be the key when Sri Lanka come out to bat in the final session. The West Indies though will be reasonably happy with their progress, but they can't afford to give easy runs away to the Sri Lankan lower-order. Take a tea/coffee break and join us for the post-tea session in 10 minutes or so.

Tea, day 1: Sri Lanka were 59/4 at lunch and they have managed to add 86 runs in the post-lunch session. Even though Chandimal and Siriwardana did extremely well to keep the West Indian bowlers at bay for the first half an hour or so, Jerome Taylor came back and nipped out the wicket of the in-form Chandimal. After Chandimal got out, Kusal Perera and Siriwardana tried to target Jomel Warrican and it was working well for them, until Kusal Perera hit a full toss straight back to the left-arm spinner.

Siriwardana 50(76)	Dilruwan Perera 2(9)	Warrican 15-1-57-1

45.6 - Jomel Warrican to Siriwardana, SIX, maiden fifty for Siriwadrana! Not a bad way to get there either. He dances down the track once again and deposits this fullish delivery straight down the ground with a might swing

45.5 - Jomel Warrican to Dilruwan Perera, 1 run, dropped! It was slower through the air and spins away outside off, Perera tries to run it down to third man but can only manage an outside edge that goes to the right of the fielder at slip, who dives across and gets a hand on it, but he can't hold on as the ball was always dying down

44.5 - J Holder to Dilruwan Perera, leg byes, 1 run, angling in on the pads, Perera fails to glance it fine and the ball rolls away behind square on the leg-side off the pad. There was a stifled appeal for an lbw but the angle was always taking it down leg

43.4 - Jomel Warrican to K Perera, out Caught&Bowled!! Warrican gets his maiden Test wicket with probably his worst ball so far. Perera could have smashed this anywhere but he ends up offering a return catch to the bowler. A high full toss outside off, Perera gives the charge and goes hard on the drive, hits it straight back to the bowler, who crouches low and hangs onto a good low catch. Perera couldn't believe his luck as he looked on with sheer disappointment. All the West Indian players mob Warrican and congratulate him. K Perera c and b Jomel Warrican 16(26) [4s-1]

West Indies have decided to review an lbw decision. Perera is the man in question. It's a legal delivery as Warrican's foot is well behind the line. Remember, the onfield call is not out, so it has to be hitting the stumps for the decision to be overturned. Looks like there's no bat or glove involved. Hawk-Eye shows that it's just clipping the leg stump and the onfield call will stay. West Indies have lost both their reviews now.

22.4 - Roach to Siriwardana, FOUR, dispatched to the deep backward point fence. Short and wide outside off, Siriwardana goes on the back foot and cuts it to the right of backward point, no need to run for those

21.2 - Jomel Warrican to Siriwardana, no run, comes down the track but doesn't get to the pitch of the this flighted delivery just outside off, the ball rolls back down the pitch off the pad

21.1 - Jomel Warrican to Chandimal, 1 run, and again Warrican starts off with a short and wide delivery, Chandimal cuts it through the cover region and there's protection in the deep now, the batsmen take a single

Welcome back. The players are making their way out to the centre.

With the pitch offering enough assistance to their pacers, the West Indies thoroughly enjoyed the first session. Holder was the pick of the bowlers, grabbing the wickets of Karunaratne and Mathews. Sri Lanka now have their task cut out, but they'll be hoping that Dinesh Chandimal can lift them out of trouble. Can West Indies seize the initiative and bowl Sri Lanka out in the next session? Or will the Lankans fight back? Join us for the second session in a little while to find out.

Lunch, day 1: Jason Holder may have lost the toss but it's his team that has the upper hand at lunch on the first day. Sri Lanka got off to a poor start, with Silva getting out in the very first over. Karunaratne and the debutant, Kusal Mendis, then tried to stabilize the innings but fell in quick succession as Sri Lanka were 3 down for just 34 runs on the board. Skipper Mathews then tried to bail his team out, but faltered right before the lunch break.

20.6 - J Holder to Siriwardana, no run, angling in on the pads, Siriwardana fails to work it away and wears it on the pad, the angle though was taking it down the leg-side and that's why there was no real appeal from the West Indian players

20.5 - J Holder to Siriwardana, no run, on a good length and just outside off, Siriwardana taps it into the off-side

20.4 - J Holder to Siriwardana, no run, on a good length and outside off, Siriwardana pushes it to mid-off

Milinda Siriwardana, left handed bat, comes to the crease

20.3 - J Holder to Mathews, out Caught by Kraigg Brathwaite!! A big, big wicket for the West Indies before the lunch interval. It was on a good length and outside off, the ball shapes away ever so slightly as Mathews comes forward and pushes at it, it takes the outside edge and goes low towards Brathwaite at second slip, who crouches forward and holds on to a good low catch. Mathews walks back disappointed. Mathews c Kraigg Brathwaite b J Holder 14(27) [4s-1]

J Holder to Mathews, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Has Mathews been caught here? Umpire Tucker is not sure has referred it to third umpire Erasmus. The soft signal is OUT. Holder's front foot is fine. Did it just bounce before the fielder? Or did he have his fingers underneath the ball? Looks like it's a fair catch and the third umpire thinks likewise. Sends Mathews on his way back as Umpire Tucker raises his finger.

20.2 - J Holder to Mathews, no run, on a good length and shaping away outside off, Mathews dabs it towards gully, thinks about a single but has to rush back as Samuels tries to throw the stumps down at the striker's end

20.1 - J Holder to Mathews, no run, bumper from Holder, Mathews sits under it

19.6 - Jomel Warrican to Chandimal, no run, bad delivery from Warrican but he gets away with it. Shortish and spinning away outside off, Chandimal reaches out and cuts it hard, extra cover dives to his left and stops the ball, definitely saved a few runs for his team

19.5 - Jomel Warrican to Chandimal, no run, hint of turn away on this flighted delivery just outside off, Chandimal pushes at it off the front foot, the ball takes a thickish outside edge and rolls away towards the fielder at slip

19.3 - Jomel Warrican to Chandimal, 2 runs, short and well wide outside off, Chandimal rocks back and cuts it to the left of extra cover, Brathwaite gives chase and slides near the rope to pull the ball back in, saves two runs for his team

18.2 - J Holder to Chandimal, no run, back of a length delivery outside off, Chandimal defends off the inside half of the bat

18.1 - J Holder to Chandimal, no run, another big shout for lbw! West Indies think about a review but decide against it. It was angled in on middle stump line, Chandimal fails to work it away and wears it on the pad, there was a loud appeal but the height was definitely a big factor. It would have gone over the stumps and hence, it was another right call from umpire Fry

Jason Holder [4.0-0-7-1] is back into the attack

Spin being introduced for the first time today as the debutant, Jomel Warrican, comes in the attack. A slip and a short leg in place.

Over: 14	0 1 0 0 0 0	SL 39/3
Chandimal 2(11)	Mathews 3(6)	Holder 3-0-3-1

13.6 - J Holder to Chandimal, no run, like the last delivery, this one also comes back in sharply from outside off, the only difference was that it was slightly fuller in length. Chandimal fails to defend it and wears it in line with middle. With Holder's height though, it was always going over the stumps

Another review from Holder and this time it's for an lbw decision. Holder's front foot is fine. Did he get an inside edge on it? Doesn't look like it. Hawk-Eye says that it's going over the stumps and the onfield decision is upheld. The visitors lose a review

13.5 - J Holder to Chandimal, no run, a big shout for lbw but umpire Fry is not amused! On a back of a length and jags back in sharply from outside off, Chandimal puts his front foot across as he decides to shoulder arms, the ball hits him high on the thigh pad and that's what saved him there - the height

13.4 - J Holder to Chandimal, no run, overpitching outside off, Chandimal jams out the drive to cover-point

13.3 - J Holder to Chandimal, no run, in the channel outside off, Chandimal doesn't offer a shot

13.2 - J Holder to Mathews, 1 run, fullish and shaping away just outside off, Mathews was almost squared up on this occasion as he decided to stay back instead of coming forward, but he somehow managed to tap it in front of cover, calls for a quick single and makes it to the other end comfortably

Jason Holder [2.0-0-2-1] is back into the attack

Chandimal 2(7)	Mathews 2(4)	Jerome Taylor 5-0-10-1

12.6 - Jerome Taylor to Chandimal, no run, good short delivery to end the over. Chandimal leaps high in the crease, drops it into the off-side with soft hands

12.4 - Jerome Taylor to Chandimal, no run, back of a length delivery on top of off, Chandimal gets behind the line and bunts it towards cover

12.3 - Jerome Taylor to Chandimal, 2 runs, in the air and in the gap. Short of length delivery outside off, Chandimal pushed at it away from his body, the ball seemed to have stopped on the batsman, who checked his push and ended up hitting it uppishly. Luckily for Chandimal, it was in the gap between gully and backward point, the batsmen take two

12.2 - Jerome Taylor to Chandimal, no run, length delivery outside off, the ball keeps low this time around as Chandimal leaves it alone. Signs of uneven bounce already and we have no even finished with the first session of this Test match.

12.1 - Jerome Taylor to Chandimal, no run, edged and just short! Straightaway Taylor bowls a probing line. Fuller in length and shaping away just outside off, Chandimal looks to drive, gets an outside edge that dies down on its way to the second slip. The key there was that the batsman played it with soft hands and that's why he is still out there

Jerome Taylor [4.0-0-8-1] is back into the attack

Taylor's been brought back into the attack. Can he nip one or two more wickets? That will really put Sri Lanka on the back foot. Let's see how he goes in his second spell. Three slips, a gully and a short leg in place

Over: 12	0 W 0 0 0 2	SL 36/3
Mathews 2(4)	Chandimal 0(1)	Roach 6-2-18-1

11.5 - Roach to Mathews, no run, bumper on the stumps, Mathews ducks under it

11.4 - Roach to Mathews, no run, angling in from outside off, Mathews shuffles across as he looks to tuck it away, misses it and wears it on the thigh pad, the ball rolls away into the off-side

Angelo Mathews, right handed bat, comes to the crease

11.2 - Roach to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Ramdin!! The debutant fails to make the most of his opportunity and he has only himself to blame. Sri Lanka find themselves in a spot of bother now. It was angled in from outside off, Mendis just hangs his bat out and ends up edging it to the keeper. The onfield call was not out but it was overturned after Holder decided to review it. Kusal Mendis c Ramdin b Roach 13(27) [4s-1]

Roach to Kusal Mendis, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Now, Holder goes upstairs for a caught behind appeal. Roach's front foot is fine. There's definite noise as the ball goes past the bat. Already, we have had one onfield decision overturned and it was quite similar to this one. There's no daylight between the bat and the ball. It's been given OUT and Holder jumps high in the air in delight

11.1 - Roach to Kusal Mendis, no run, back of a length delivery just outside off, defended towards extra cover

Over: 11	0 0 0 1 W 0	SL 34/2

10.6 - J Holder to Chandimal, no run, length delivery outside off, Chandimal doesn't offer a shot

Dinesh Chandimal, right handed bat, comes to the crease

10.5 - J Holder to Karunaratne, out Lbw!! Lovely bowling from the West Indies skipper. This was extremely full and swings in sharply towards middle and leg, Karunaratne was surprised by the extra pace and fails to squeeze it out into the on-side, he wears it on the pad in line with middle and the ball would have gone on to crash into the leg stump. Umpire Tucker's finger went up in a flash as soon as Holder went up for the appeal. Sri Lanka lose a review as well. Karunaratne lbw b J Holder 13(39) [4s-1]

J Holder to Karunaratne, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Karunaratne has been given out lbw. He has decided to review the onfield call. Holder's front foot is fine. There's no bat involved as well. Remember, it just needs to clip the stumps for the onfield decision to be upheld. Hawk-Eye shows that the ball is crashing into the leg stump and Karunratne has to go

10.4 - J Holder to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, angling in on off and middle, Mendis comes half-forward and pushes at it, the ball hits the splice of the bat and runs away towards fine leg for a single

10.3 - J Holder to Kusal Mendis, no run, length delivery in the channel outside off, Mendis opens the face of the bat and defends it towards point

10.2 - J Holder to Kusal Mendis, no run, excellent delivery from Holder! On a short of length and extracts some extra bounce off the surface, Mendis pokes at it away from his body, the ball gets big on him and whizzes past the outside edge before the keeper collects

10.1 - J Holder to Kusal Mendis, no run, gets this one to hold its line outside off, Mendis doesn't offer a shot

Three slips and a gully in place for Holder

9.5 - Roach to Karunaratne, no run, another one that's full outside off, Karunaratne comes on the front foot and goes hard on the drive, ends up mistiming it to the right of the bowler, mid-off tidies up behind him

9.4 - Roach to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, good comeback from Roach. Yorker aimed at the base of off stump, Mendis just about jams it out off the inside half of the bat, the batsmen take a single as the ball dribbles away to fine leg

9.3 - Roach to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, glorious shot! Pitched up outside off, Mendis comes on the front foot and creams the drive through the extra cover region, the timing was sublime and it crashes into the fence in no time

9.2 - Roach to Kusal Mendis, no run, banged in short but it's well outside off, Mendis is happy to leave it for the keeper

9.1 - Roach to Kusal Mendis, no run, poor ball from Roach but he gets away with it. Short and wide outside off, Mendis rocks back and cuts it hard to the left of backward point, where Marlon Samuels dives across and saves a certain boundary

8.5 - J Holder to Karunaratne, no run, now Holder bowls it closer to the off stump, Karunaratne is solid in defence

7.5 - Roach to Karunaratne, no run, on a length outside off, left alone

2.4 - Jerome Taylor to Kusal Mendis, no run, angling in from just outside off and straightens a touch, Mendis gets behind the line and blocks

2.3 - Jerome Taylor to Karunaratne, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off, Karunaratne punches it through the extra cover region for a single

2.2 - Jerome Taylor to Karunaratne, no run, run-out chance missed! This was pitched up outside off, Karunaratne drives it towards mid-off, who misfields and Karunaratne called Mendis for the single, who responded as well before being sent back by his partner. Roach recovered quickly, picked the ball and fired the throw at the non-striker's end as Mendis tried to get back inside the crease. A direct-hit would have caught him short but luckily for the debutant, Roach missed. There was no one backing up and the batsmen then take a run on the overthrow

Taylor comes round the wicket to the left-hander

2.1 - Jerome Taylor to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, bit too straight in line this time around, Mendis tucks it away behind square on the on-side and gets off the mark with a single

0.4 - Jerome Taylor to Kaushal Silva, out Caught by Ramdin!! A peach of a delivery from Taylor and the West Indies have an early breakthrough. This was pitched up on off, brought the batsman forward to push at it before shaping away, the ball takes the outside edge and settles into the hands of the keeper. Kaushal Silva c Ramdin b Jerome Taylor 0(1)

Jerome Taylor to Kaushal Silva, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

West Indies go up in unison for a caught behind appeal. Rod Tucker says 'Not Out' and Holder immediately goes for a review. Taylor's front foot is fine. There is a certain noise as the ball goes past the bat, but is it enough? Yes, the third umpire definitely thinks so and overturns the onfield call. The visitors have struck early.

0.3 - Jerome Taylor to Karunaratne, 1 run, slightly back of a length and outside off, Karunaratne bunts it to the right of extra cover and gets off the mark with a single

Karunaratne and Kaushal Silva are at the crease. Karunaratne is on strike. Jerome Taylor will open the attack

Welcome back.. Can West Indies inspire a comeback? Can their bowlers put up another show? Two slips and a gully in place..

Ramdin, the senior member, threw it away yet again trying to be aggressive against the danger-man Herath. Roach, who exhibited good technique while playing against spin, ran out of partners and eventually the visitors folded for a scanty first innings total. Sri Lankan batters will aim to extend the lead when they come out to bat for the second time in this match. Stay tuned...

Sri Lanka get a 37-run lead and that will be tea on day 2. So, it was a session of spin vs the West Indies. 86 runs and 6 wickets - that's the story of the session fellas. Blackwood and Ramdin resisted for a while, but the former was caught behind off Dhammika allowing the Lankan's to rip through the lower middle order.

64.2 - Dilruwan Perera to Jomel Warrican, out Caught&Bowled!! "Easy as you like," as Russel Arnold describes the dismissal on air. Yes! That was a dolly to the bowler and Jomel Warrican, the debutant, falls 99 short of his century (Richie Benaud-esque). This was nothing but a flatter delivery around off, Warrican is early on his drive, ends up chipping it straight back to the bowler. Jomel Warrican c and b Dilruwan Perera 1(12)

60.6 - Dilruwan Perera to Jerome Taylor, out Lbw!! Sigh! What did I just see? It's not as dramatic as it sounds but Taylor should have surely reviewed that. That looked as if it was going down leg and the replays show that was CLEARLY MUMSSING LEG. Taylor just turned his back and walked away. This was tossed up on middle and spun sharply, Taylor looks to pad it away with a good stride forward. The ball spins a long way and hits him in line with middle stump. Sri Lankans immediately went up in appeal and Taylor was given out straightaway. Lucky wicket for Dilruwan Perera as it turned so much that it would have missed the leg stump by a long way.

58.6 - Dilruwan Perera to J Holder, out Caught by Mathews!! First wicket for Dilruwan Perera in this game and he is all pumped up. Nothing threatening on this flighted delivery, just that the West Indian batsmen continue to find a way to throw their wickets away. Pitched on off and straightened, Holder was pushing hard on the front foot. Ball catches the outside edge and goes to the left of Mathews at first slip. He fumbled on the first attempt but manages to grab it cleanly on the second try. J Holder c Mathews b Dilruwan Perera 21(37) [4s-2 6s-1]

Nothing but a full delivery outside off that shapes away slighty, Blackwood was on the front foot as he went for an expansive drive, ends up getting a thick outside edge, the keeper dives to his right and takes a good low catch with both hands. West Indies are in trouble now. Blackwood c K Perera b Dhammika 16(31) [4s-1 6s-1]

40.6 - Pradeep to Ramdin, no run, not a good leave from Ramdin. On a good length and angling in from outside off, Ramdin lifts his bat and lets it go, the ball goes through to the keeper but it wasn't that far away from the off stump, Ramdin surely misjudged how much the ball will come back in

39.6 - Siriwardana to Ramdin, no run, presses forward and blocks this flighted delivery on off

39.5 - Siriwardana to Ramdin, no run, beauty! Every spinner would love to see something like this.

Blackwood 6(24)	Ramdin 0(3)	Pradeep 10-3-23-0

38.6 - Pradeep to Blackwood, FOUR, good shot! Pradeep bowls a half-volley on off and pays the price for it. Blackwood comes on the front foot and drills it to the right of mid-off, who dives across, gets a hand on it but can't take the pace off, the ball trickles away to the fence

38.5 - Pradeep to Blackwood, no run, another shout for lbw but this was going down leg. On a good length and angling in on the pads, Blackwood was caught in the crease as he fails to defend it into the on-side, he gets hit on the pad but the angle was taking it down the leg-side

38.4 - Pradeep to Blackwood, no run, just short of a good length and just outside off, Blackwood knocks it towards cover

38.3 - Pradeep to Blackwood, no run, this one jags back in on off and middle, Blackwood tries to work it through the on-side, but fails to get any bat on it. He wears it on the back thigh pad and the Sri Lankans appeal for an lbw, but it was too high to be given out

38.2 - Pradeep to Blackwood, no run, in the channel outside off, Blackwood lets it go

38.1 - Pradeep to Blackwood, no run, lovely shot but straight to the fielder. Full and outside off, Blackwood leans into the drive but picks out the man at mid-off, good shot for no runs

Denesh Ramdin, right handed bat, comes to the crease

37.3 - Siriwardana to Kraigg Brathwaite, out Caught by K Perera!! Brathwaite walks back disappointed, falls just three short of his fifty. This was given more air just outside off and turns away sharply, Brathwaite reaches out to drive but wasn't upto the pitch of the ball, there was a sound as the ball passed the bat, could have been from the bat hitting the ground too. The keeper moves to his right, first catches it with his right hand and then pouches it properly with the help of the other. Brathwaite also didn't review it straightaway, meaning he wasn't sure whether he had edged it or not since the contact must have come at the time he jarred his bat hard on the pitch. But, he has to go anyway. Kraigg Brathwaite c K Perera b Siriwardana 47(101) [4s-3]

Siriwardana to Kraigg Brathwaite, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Brathwaite has been given out caught behind. He has decided to review it. Siriwardana's front foot is fine. Is there an edge? Or the noise is from the bat hitting the ground? Looks like another tough one for umpire Erasmus upstairs. Remember, he has been given out. There needs to be enough evidence to overturn this decision and there's none. The final verdict is OUT and West Indies lose a review

Welcome back. The players are walking out to the middle. There seems to be some confusion regarding where the ball is as the umpires had left it on the ground and they can't find it now. Finally, Dhammika throws the cherry to the umpire. Siriwardana will start the proceedings after lunch.

Samuels, after being watchful for a while, threw it away courtesy of his laden feet - which continues to be his problem. Blackwood, the best batsman for West Indies in the series, has a big role to play in this game. We'll see how he responds to the Sri Lankan spin challenge as and when he comes out to bat after lunch. Stay tuned for the post-lunch happenings...

That will be lunch on day 2 as the West Indies' batsmen walk back to the dressing room under blue skies. Samuels' lunch was spoiled by Siriwardana, who just bowled one over (so far) in this match. Bishoo and Brathwaite stayed firm for a brief period but it didn't take long for Dhammika as he nipped out Bishoo and Bravo in quick succession.

31.4 - Siriwardana to Samuels, out Caught by Mathews!! Siriwardana continues to impress and Samuels' poor series with the bat continues. First Siriwardana had done it with the bat and now he consumes the West Indies' best player of spin. Coming to the dismissal, this was flighted just outside off, Samuels was on the front foot looking to drive. He gets a thick outside edge and the ball nestles safely in the hands of Sri Lankan skipper (at slip). All smiles in the Sri Lankan camp. Samuels feet went nowhere when he went for the shot. Hence, he was decieved by the turn and fed an outside edge to Mathews. Samuels c Mathews b Siriwardana 13(53) [4s-1]

Brathwaite back foot was out of the crease initially but he just managed to drag it back in time. Just that some part of the boot saved him

Third umpire has been called out for a stumping chance. Kusal Perera seems pretty confident about this one. Dilruwan Perera's front foot is fine. Is there something behind the line? Yes! It looks as if he got some part of the boot behind the line. Third umpire confirms the same, so that will be NOT OUT

28.1 - Dilruwan Perera to Kraigg Brathwaite, byes, FOUR, oh! Where did that come from? That missed everyone out there. Pitched on middle and spun sharply beating the batsman's attempted glance. The keeper didn't pick that at all, can't glove it and it runs away fine to the fence

We will have three slots of two hours each. Play can be extended until 6 PM (light permitting) to finish the quota of 90 overs.

The players are out in the middle. The new ball is crucial for both teams. Can West Indies build on their bowler's efforts or will Sri Lanka strike early? Sri Lanka are in a huddle. Jerome Jayaratne, their interim head coach, has a lot to say to his team. Out come the two overnight batsmen..

10:15 Local Time, 04:45 GMT, 10:15 IST: We have got some news and it's looking good. Play will start at 10:30 AM

10:00 Local Time, 04:30 GMT, 10:00 IST: It's time for the inspection. The two umpires, Simon Fry and Rod Tucker, are checking out the areas around the bowler's run-up. They are also checking out the areas near the boundary ropes, there were some damp spots over there.

Siriwardana: 'It was not easy at all. There was help for spinners. Their seamers also bowled really well. I just wanted to get some runs for the team and I think I did a good job. We wanted to score somewhere around 250-260, we wanted to give our bowlers something to bowl at. We have experienced bowlers like Herath, the pacers are also doing a good job. We have to try and get the West Indies out below 200.'

Pitch Report: 'The pitch is pretty dry. There is a good covering of grass, but there are areas where the surface is coming off - in a powdery manner. The Sri Lankan bowlers are capable of exploiting the surface, a lot rests on the West Indian batsmen,' reckons Jeffrey Dujon

09:45 Local Time, 04:15 GMT, 09:45 IST: It's an overcast morning in Colombo and the sun is struggling to peep out. The covers have been removed. Fingers crossed about the umpire's inspection.

Some bad news to start though. Heavy overnight rain and a mild drizzle this morning has meant that the pitch is under covers. Roshan Abeysinghe has tweeted that there will be an inspection at 10 AM local time.

09:35 Local Time, 04:05 GMT, 09:35 IST: It is day 2 of the second and final Test between Sri Lanka and the West Indies. After being badly bruised in Galle, the visitors staged a spirited fightback as they dismissed the hosts for just 200 - after losing the toss and being asked to field first. Jerome Taylor and Jason Holder ripped through the top half of Sri Lanka's batting and if not for a battling 68 from Milinda Siriwardana, the hosts would have been shot out for a much less total. Debutant Jomel Warrican. the left-arm orthodox spinner, enjoyed himself, taking out the tail and finishing with four wickets. It didn't turn out to be a perfect day for the visitors. They lost Shai Hope just before stumps, finishing the day at 17/1, still 183 runs adrift.

Will the West Indies gain a crucial first innings lead? Or will the Lankan Tigers roar back to gain control of the match? All your questions will be answered tomorrow. We'll be here early for the second day of this Test. Don't forget to join us then. For now, it's goodbye!

The Sri Lankan top-order failed, but the visitors will be hoping to put on a much better show than their counterparts. The first innings lead could prove vital to the result of the match and hence, it's crucial that the West Indian batters do well tomorrow. On the other hand, the hosts' bowlers will be relishing this opportunity. Warrican managed to take 4 wickets on the first day and Herath will definitely have a big role to play tomorrow.

Both Brathwaite and Bishoo will be pleased with the fact that the West Indies didn't lose any more wickets after Shai Hope got out in the very first over of the innings. However, with the pitch assisting the bowlers, it is not going to be easy tomorrow as well. All said and done, the visitors will definitely be happy about their bowling performance today.

Umpire Fry walks up to Umpire Tucker and both of them have decided that the light is just not good enough. The groundsmen are getting ready to put the covers on quickly, with chances of heavy rain growing by the minute. It's extremely gloomy out there as the players walk off. That should be stumps on day 1.

Shai Hope 4(4)	Kraigg Brathwaite 1(2)	Dhammika 1-0-5-1

0.6 - Dhammika to Shai Hope, out Lbw!! Like Taylor, Prasad strikes in the very first over. This was full and angling in on off and middle, Hope was nowhere near the line of the ball as he looks to defend, he was cuaght in the crease as he misses it completely and the ball hit him in line with middle stump. The umpire's finger too went up in a flash to send Hope on his way. Shai Hope lbw b Dhammika 4(4) [4s-1]

Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope are at the crease. Kraigg Brathwaite is on strike. Dhammika will open the attack

Welcome back.. Dhammika opens the bowling with two slips in place.

West Indies found an unlikely bowling hero in Kraigg Brathwaite and have done well to restrict the hosts to 206 all-out, an overall lead of 243 runs. The West Indies opener finished with highly impressive figures of 6/29. Angelo Mathews resisted, top-scoring with 46. Milinda Siriwardana provided the impetus, making a handy 42. West Indies haven't won a Test match in Sri Lanka and one feels that they will not get a better opportunity than this. Their batting has been a struggle on the tour. Can their batsmen back up the efforts of the bowlers and chase this target down? Brathwaite has enjoyed a superb match, will he make a telling contribution with the bat? Will Herath have the final say? Join us in a while..

75.3 - Kraigg Brathwaite to Pradeep, out Caught by Blackwood!! Brathwaite finishes with six wickets! This is also Blackwood's fifth catch of the innings!

The umpire took his time and eventually raised the finger. He's had a good match so far, Brathwaite, top-scored in the first innings and five wickets now.

Welcome back.. Two wickets from Brathwaite has kept his team in the contest. For Sri Lanka, Mathews remains the key. He's played some fine knocks with the tail, can he stretch this lead to 300+?

Holder then introduced the part-time spin of Brathwaite, who struck with his first ball to Siriwardana. In his third over, Brathwaite accounted for Kusal Perera as well which was the last ball before lunch. Mathews will be the key for the hosts, who are effectively 202/6 right now. West Indies are into the tail, can they wrap up the innings quickly? Or will Mathews stand firm for Sri Lanka? Join us back at 12:40 local time for all the answers...

12:00 Local Time, 06:30 GMT, 12:00 IST: The West Indies players walk off the field with a smile on their faces. Their bowling coach, Curtly Ambrose, is near the boundary rope applauding the effort of his bowlers. It has certainly been the visitors' session. Sri Lanka started the day on 76/2. They added 89 runs and lost 4 wickets. Kaushal Silva and Dinesh Chandimal went early in the day. Siriwardana and Mathews kept the bowlers at bay for a while. The former was aggressive in his approach and was looking good for another fifty.

59.1 - Kraigg Brathwaite to K Perera, out Caught by Ramdin!! Another one for Brathwaite. The lunch will taste good now for West Indies. It was not all that short, Perera went back to play the cut, he gets an under edge to the keeper, Ramdin does well not to get up early, holds on to a good catch.

Pitch Report: 'The pitch hasn't changed in nature. It is pretty dry and the ball might stop at times - when it hits the grassy areas. 'Early wickets and a lot of them', says Jeffrey Dujon, if they want to mount a fight back in this match.

09:45 Local Time, 04:15 GMT, 09:45 IST: It has gone cloudy and there are a couple of dark clouds threatening to lash down.

It's another bright and sunny morning in Colombo. Will the hosts build on or will the visitors fight back with quick strikes? The first hour will be crucial for both teams. Bishoo and Warrican found some turn with the new ball and will be expected to do more damage if the visitors are to keep their hopes of squaring the series alive.

If Day 1 belonged to West Indies, it was all Sri Lanka on the second day of the P Sara Test. Having being dismissed for just 200, the bowlers responded on a helpful track to skittle out the visitors for just 163, thereby gaining a handy lead of 37 runs. Dhammika Prasad was the most impressive of the lot - finishing with 4 wickets while Dilruwan Perera wrapped up the tail and finished with 3 scalps. The hosts further solidified their position, going to stumps at 76/2, an overall lead of 113 runs. The pitch is playing plenty of tricks and a lead of 300 might well turn out to be match-winning on this deck.

Unfortunately, West Indies' batters let their team down for the third time in the series. No one really applied themselves and yet again they failed to tackle the Lankan tweakers. The lead now is 113 and Sri Lanka will try and push that past 300 when they come out to bat tomorrow. That's a wrap of today's proceedings then. We will be here to bring you all the action from day 3 tomorrow. Do remember to join us. See you tomorrow then!!

Umpire calls it stumps and off go the players. If it was West Indies who dominated day 1, it's the hosts who turned it around on day 2. Coming to the final session of the day, the first ball (wicket of Karunaratne) and the wicket of Kusal Mendis - those were the couple of things West Indies can look back and say "Yeah! We've done well."

29.3 - Jomel Warrican to Chandimal, no run, pitched on leg and didn't straighten much, Chandimal failed to defend that off the front foot. Ball strikes him on the pad (in-line with leg-stump). Lots of "HOWZAAAT" cry from the close-in fielders and umpire Rod Tucker says "no" straightaway. Pitching - in-line, Impact - umpire's call, Wickets - clipping leg. So that will remain NOT OUT.

West Indies have gone up for a review against Chandimal. The appeal was for lbw. Did it pitch outside leg? Jomel Warrican's front foot is fine, no bat involved. It doesn't look convincing though. Pitching - in-line, Impact - umpire's call, Wickets - clipping leg. So that will remain NOT OUT.
