Fantastic performance here by WI. I am not watching this live at the moment, is the bowling great or the batting bad?

Samaraweera's knock here may turn out to be absolutely vital.

Prince will be happy.

Bowling hasn’t been too hot all game, although, the West Indies seem to have learnt that bowling short and wide isn’t acceptable. As I said a few days ago this wicket is pretty lively and both sides did well to reach 250 plus.

Sri Lanka if they can get a forty, fifty more are still in with a great chance for mine.

Anything above 200 will be difficult. Need SL to be out for less than 150 lead to have a great chance.

Played Samaraweera! First time I have ever seen him score runs, was always rather perplexed that he averaged in the 40s but his played very well thus far.

so far his second best test innings, after a hundred he made in Pakistan.

It's any body's game...It only takes 1 or 2 solid grafting innings from 2 West Indian batsmen to win this Test...with this being such a low scoring Test...

Expecting this will likely be the last test Sangakkara plays as keeper batsmen for Sri Lanka. So it will be interesting to see who gets dropped now Samaraweera made runs. Might actually be a massive blessing in disguise as it forces us to play the extra batsmen.

Still reckon we can pull this off, but West Indies have played really well so far.

Favours spinners tomorrow I think.

Gayle got a bit of turn, which is fairly disturbing.

If West Indies are going to win, it’s pretty obvious but Gayle, Sarwan or Chanderpaul need to contribute. Marlon Samuels after a good series in South Africa seems to be chewing the fat again and with Sarwan back, he looks like his lost that sense of responsibility he showed out there.

Should be an interesting chase and Sri Lanka are big favourites for mine.
