Stumps, Day 1: Sri Lanka 338 for 5 (Udara 188, Kamindu 84, Shamar 2-60) vs. West Indies
The West Indies were made to toil on Friday’s first day of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Antigua and Barbuda.
A stunning century from Lahiru Udara (18
was at the heart of the Sri Lankan innings, which was paused on 338 at stumps at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
The Caribbean seamers managed to snatch two late wickets to ensure half of the visiting side was back in the pavilion.
While welcoming back the recovered Shai Hope to the XI, the West Indies entered the contest without the services of Kemar Roach, who is nursing a hamstring injury.
Still, they started well with the ball, claiming two early wickets before a mammoth 215-run third-wicket partnership between Udara and Kamindu Mendis turned the tide squarely in Sri Lanka’s favour.
