Career-best figures for Permaul - who bagged his first five-for in Tests after playing in the format after six years - as well as Warrican, who bagged four. Chase, the other spinner, took one yesterday, leaving West Indies with a very good opportunity to build on from here, albeit on a turning pitch. As Sampath reminds us, West Indies spinners took all ten wickets in a Test innings for the second time in 2021. Before this year, last time they took all ten wickets in a Test innings was against England at Port of Spain back in 1968. Join us for the West Indies innings five.

Buddika: "I know there's turn in the pitch, but the deciding factor is going to be the control by the SL spinners."

11.40am So 139 for 1 becomes 204 all out, as West Indies spinners combine to bowl with probably most accurately than they have in Asia in recent times. The pitch aided the spinners no doubt, but they still had to land it on the perfect length, which both Permaul and Warrican did superbly this morning.

Warrican to Mathews, OUT, bowled him! Brilliant ball, almost the perfect ball that a left-arm spinner would like to ball. Tossed up full on middle and leg - just full enough to draw the batter forward - and turning away to hit middle and off as Mathews missed his flick to the on side. Four wickets for Warrican - he ends with career-best figures - as Sri Lanka fold for 204

Warrican to Mathews, FOUR, launched over the bowler's head for four! The ball was full outside off, and right in the slot despite being tossed up. He cleared his front leg, and smashed back to beat long-off to his right

Warrican to Mathews, no run, pretty full on off, and defended back to the bowler

Warrican continues

How far can a limping Mathews take his side?

Permaul to Lakmal, OUT, five for Permaul, and Lakmal perishes!. What a comeback this is by Permaul and West Indies. The ball is full on off, and given some air too. Lakmal looks to swing to the on side, but is beaten by the flight, as the ball also turns away just enough after pitching. He gets a leading edge, as the ball flies toward point, who doesn't have to move an inch to pocket that

Warrican to Mathews, SIX, this is bigger, and gone further too! Two in a row. Another full delivery that is tossed up on middle, as Mathews, who has nothing to lose, crashes that back over the bowler's head for another six. The 200 is up

Warrican to Mathews, SIX, finally manages to get one away! Beats Roach at long-on with his heave. The ball is tossed up, and full on off. He swings full strength, as Roach thinks about it for a moment only to realise that his leap would be in vain

Warrican to Mathews, no run, driven aerially to long-off, with the ball being full on off. His bottom hand came off as he played at that

Jave: "As a West Indian, its good to see the bowlers doing well. But lets all be honest here the batters will not score 150. Will be happy to eat my words."

Permaul to Mathews, 1 run, pretty full outside off, and driven along the ground to long-off. He hobbles his way to the non-striker's end

Permaul to Mathews, no run, short and wide of off. He rides the bounce to chop to the man at cover

Permaul, who has a chat with Brathwaite, will come around the stumps, and with a slip and silly point.

Out comes Mathews. Some big hits on the way now?

Permaul to Embuldeniya, OUT, bowled him! Four for Permaul, as Embuldeniya is beaten in flight. The ball was tossed up, and pretty full while landing on middle and off. Embuldeniya looked to guide that ball to the off side with his front leg out of the way, but ended up playing with an angled bat as the length ball was too full for him to try and fish at that. The ball landed really full, and spun in to hit the middle-and-leg bail

Warrican to Lakmal, no run, past the outside edge. The ball was flighted, and full on off. It turned away from the bat as Lakmal went forward to defend, and spun away from it
