Second Test in Antigua
-
West Indies were battling towards respectability at 168 for 4 after lunch on the third day of the second Test against Sri Lanka.
Shai Hope (10*) and Justin Greaves (13*) were at the crease looking to rebuild the innings after three wickets fell during the day.
Prabath Jayasuriya (2/38) claimed two wickets either side of lunch, while Asitha Fernando took the only wicket of the morning session to improve his match figures to 2 for 48. Jayasuriya dismissed Kavem Hodge for 31 and Amir Jangoo for 9.
Resuming on 58 for 1, the hosts made steady progress through an 89-run second-wicket stand between John Campbell and Hodge.
The pair negotiated the opening hour with disciplined batting before Sri Lanka claimed the only wicket of the morning session shortly before lunch. Campbell top-scored with a patient 72 before becoming Fernando's second wicket of the innings.
