Very Important partnership , If WI want to draw the match need a long partnership here.

 

[Justcrazy]

four down

Lanka inching towards win here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Nearly 60 overs left to negotiate for WI

 

[Justcrazy]

Hope gets that one away

 

[Hasan123]

Hopefully Sri Lanka win and we get a deciding test.

Game on the edge. IF Windies can bat another 30 overs without losing a wicket, they should get home with a draw. The new ball wont be around for long for SL.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hope looking good.

WI have batted out 5th Day draws before against England and India.

Let's see if they have the resiliency to do so again.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four five overs left in the session.

Rain had arrived

Lanka's two hour protest was a bad idea now.

Windies are the kings of saving test matches in these situations..almost did it against us had it not been for Gabriel’s brain fade

Lanka's two hour protest was a bad idea now.

Serves them right.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Serves them right.

Sure does. They were 1-0 down and knew Windies would be batting last but instead wasted time. Perhaps they thought the wasting of 2 hours would help them save the test not the other way around?

Yeh, don't think they realized that they will end up bating well in 2nd inning. It was terrible display by Lankans. Chandimal being the culprit is even sadder.

 

[cricketworm]

And officially it's a draw.

Teams go on to play their first Day Night test match at Bridgetown

MOTM : Shannon Gabriel.

Fair result I guess - WIN should be happy to carry a lead to their fortress, while Lankan’s are still in the series.

Unless it rained, this could have been real tight, with SRL having the edge; but WIN was also hampered by the rain - their batting rhythm was broken time & again by the rain and it allowed Lankan pacers to rest and keep charging, otherwise WIN could have batted out SRL in first innings. Wicket also got settled after rain from uneven bounce in first 3 days.

I think, it’ll end 2-0; SRL is not going to win at Kensington.
