Match State: Stumps - Day 2
Good morning and welcome to the third days coverage of the final
test between Sri lanka and West Indies, we had an exciting day of
cricket
yestarday and the highlight as far as sri lankans were concerned
would be the devastating fast bowling spell of Chaminda Vaas.
However the
lankan's were forced on to the backfoot earlier on in just the
second over with Marvan Attapattu edging a collins delivery to
third slip.
Sangakkara and Jayasuriya put on a cautious 99 run second wicket
partnership before the young wicket keeper batsman was out for 55
by
edging another delivery to slips. Jayauriya played a very slow and
steady inning for his 88 runs, he also passed the 1000 run figure
at
the SSC yestarday. At the crease is Mahela Jayawardene and Russel
Arnold, Mahela is the inform batsman on 32 while Arnold is still
fighting to get back in form, Join us at 10:10 am Local time to
withness the rest of the days play at the SSC ground Colombo Sri
Lanka.
