Karthik s.venka: "After the promise they showed in beating pakistan in the uae and saving the kotla test against India, this can be quite frustrating for the Sri Lankan fans"

Rakesh: "With 44 overs today, WI should look to bat positively and look to score at least around 135 and strech the lead to 365 tonight and then come out roaring tomorrow morning looking at add around 120-150 runs in about 40 overs to post 475+ and leave themselves 4 3/4 clear session to bowl the Lankans out or about 170 overs. Simple win for the taking"

Nick B: "In Sri Lanka's first innings extras accounted for 28% of all runs scored."

Simon: "Short balls futile? That's harsh, and entirely out of context of the game." --- Okay, fair.

If you're wondering why Tea was taken early, here's what the law says:

1.6 Changing agreed time for tea interval

11.6.1 If an innings ends when 30 minutes or less remains before the agreed time for tea, the interval shall be taken immediately. It shall be of the agreed duration and shall be considered to include the 10 minute interval between innings.

2:14pm Well that's the end. West Indies walk off relaxingly. No signs yet if they want to enforce the follow-on. But what an effort from the home team. Well and truly in a position to kill this game now after a patient setting up of the game when they batted. Blew Sri Lanka out last evening, nearly let them slip away this morning, but the visitors handed them some gifts and they've made full use.

t20cric: "While WI bowling has been good, imagine how much of a dominant position they would be in if they hadn't conceded all those extras."

SS: "@Dave flashbacks of the smog-affected India - Sri Lanka test match where a certain win was averted to a well-played draw"

Dave: "Not sure if just me but worried WI will enforce follow-on, SL score 350-400 then skittle WI out to win game on decaying pitch! Maybe better to bowl last and bat SL out the game!" --- You seem to have exclusively followed an underdog team all your life, sir.
