9.58am And that is that, Dimuth Karunaratne has declared. West Indies will need to chase 297 for an unlikely win. A minimum of 93 overs to go today, if the weather and light hold out.

Nuwan: "@Kalindu Test Championship Points are more important than series these days."

Kalindu: "SL has already won the series. Why put that status in jeopardy by declaring early? Don't want to see what happened to Bangladesh being repeated here. I'm just happy about the grit these two batters showcased which we were missing in recent times."

Wester: "Rajiv: Sri Lanka do not want Kyle Mayers and co to repeat what they did in the beginning of the year.. already they are one up... And of course, Sril Lanka need a maximum of 80 overs to bundle out West Indies wickets.. "

Slip now moves to fly slip, two-thirds of the way back.

Holder goes around the wicket now. Slip and gully.

Rajiv: "Brilliant play from Sri Lanka to get themselves into this position. Can think of many a similar occasion in recent times where we would have folded. But, very very disappointing to not see them declare , at the very least, overnight."

Rifqi: "The sooner the Sri Lanka innings finishes, the sooner we see the end of behind the stumps commentary from Da Silva ! "

Holder, over the wicket to the left-hander.

Divyank Singh: "Should have declared overnight." -- One reason for not doing so could be Sri Lanka wanting to have the choice of the roller.

Over the wicket now

The cordon has thinned to just one wide slip.
