6.15 pm: That was a power-packed batting performance from Sri Lanka. Set up by centuries from Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis, and a helter-skelter of a finish with wickets and boundaries coming thick and fast. At the end, they have put on an imposing total and should be favourites to seal the series. West Indies lacked discipline with the ball, and their fielding - surprisingly - went all to pieces. It could have had something to do with the strong winds blowing across the ground, but there were too many errors to put down to just that. The Avishka-Mendis duo were magnificent though, and Sri Lanka took full toll of the several loose balls West Indies served up. Join us shortly for the chase.

Cottrell to PW Hasaranga, OUT, moves way across to try and scoop this over the keeper but misses it. They sneak through for a bye. Hope flicks to the stumps, but doesn't connect. Cottrell's gone back to the stumps, and gathers the ball to break the stumps. Manages to do it despite gathering a fair distance away and the batsman is inches short.

Cottrell to PW Hasaranga, FOUR, blasted through extra cover. Salt into Cottrell's wounds. Full ball and punched beautifully through the gap

Cottrell to Udana, 3 runs, Fabian Allen shells an easy catch at deep square leg. This has been a poor day in the field for West Indies.. Would have been five for Cottrell. This was flicked off his toes, but off the end of the bat and went up high. Allen seemed to have it covered, but ends up letting it go through his hands. Is the wind a factor in these drops?

Cottrell to Udana, FOUR, just clears the man at point. Full outside off, makes room and tries to drive, gets a thick edge that flies in the air. The man at point leaps but can't get more than a ghost of a finger-tip to the ball.

Zaeb Ansari: "Holder's place on asian pitches needs to be questioned, neither his batting is intimidating enough nor his bowling. his line and lengths at 120 kms not going to fetch any wickets, Windies can either include a batsman like Rovman or a bowler like Walsh at his expense."

Paul to Udana, 3 runs, smashes this over extra cover, and Pollard at long-off has to run around a long way to cut it off before the boundary

Paul to Udana, FOUR, terrific effort from Holder at long-on but the ball goes to the boundary. Great shot too. He connects with the swat down the ground. Holder's not at a straight long-on, but makes good ground, dives and gets a hand to the ball, but can't stop it

Paul to Udana, 2 runs, just clears mid-off. Makes room and flat-bats it over the bowler. Not timed and Pollard's running backwards after it, but can't quite reach it.

Paul to PW Hasaranga, 1 run, fuller and straight, he goes over the top of the bowler's head. Doesn't time it well though. Falls safe
