I feel Prabath will be the biggest challenge for our batsmen
Windies have always been suspect against slow left arm orthodox bowler.
For donkey years Nikita Miller dominated at the first class level

Jayasuriya to Hodge, FOUR runs
Hip, hip, swept with power, all the way for four. This is floated up on the pads, and Hodge gets low and strikes it cleanly. Theres a deep backward square fielder but he can't get to it.

Isitha Wijesundera to Kavem Hodge, no run, a successful review by Kavem Hodge! Pitched up by the bowler around middle and leg, Kavem Hodge looks to push this down the wicket, ends up getting an inside edge on to the pads. The umpire's decision was out, but the batsman was quick to challenge the decision. UltraEdge confirms there was an inside edge and he is safe
Hodge has been given out lbw. He challenges the on-field call! Is there some bat involved, is there an inside edge? Big deflection on UltraEdg

John Campbell being John Campbell
Does all the hard work and then throw it away

Earlier Campbell would take a run and allow 2.0 to take the strike. I said to myself, good strategy until after lunch. You just got a four, what is your hurry?

You can bet if Campbell was an Oz in the Aussie side he would be dropped and never see a Test Match again - for stupidity. Oz has done that before.

Asitha Fernando to John Campbell, out Caught by Chandimal!! John Campbell departs after playing a fine knock. Asitha Fernando is pumped up though. He has taken a wicket with lunch around the corner. This was a short ball by Asitha Fernando, and John Campbell pulled it straight to the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Walks back to a gentle round of applause from the spectators.
John Campbell c Chandimal b Asitha Fernando 72(154) [4s-9 6s-2]
