Carter half-century gives Windies-A lead

Mon, Oct 27, '14

MORATUWA, Sri Lanka, CMC – A patient, unbeaten half-century by Jonathan Carter helped pull West Indies A out of trouble on the penultimate day of the third and final four-day “Test” against Sri Lanka A here Monday.

In a spot of bother at 97 for three, Carter crafted a purposeful 69 not out to help steer West Indies A to 183 for three at the close at the Tyronne Fernando Stadium.

The tourists lead by 166 runs overall, with the final day looming on Tuesday.
