However, the little man from Berbice, Guyana, looked like he has not missed a beat following his career-best five-wicket haul against Sri Lanka on day two of the second Test.

On another rain-affected day, the left-arm spinner from Albion Cricket Club was the star performer, bagging five wickets for 35 runs to help restrict a prolific Sri Lanka batting line-up to just 204 runs.
