STUMPSEven as Sri Lanka staged their fightback on the record second-wicket partnership between Oshada Fernando and Lahiru Thirimanne, West Indies could have found their way back into the contest soon after they had picked three quick wickets after Tea. However, Dhananjaya De Silva and Pathum Nissanka have ensured that there were no more reasons for the West Indians to celebrate on Day 3. The duo stitched an unbeaten 66-run stand for the sixth wicket to help Sri Lanka to a 153-run lead in the first Test. The visitors will resume the fourth day's play on 255 for 4, with both the batters unbeaten.
