(Cricinfo) – Sri Lanka batted a touch over two sessions on day two before eventually declaring on 549 for 9, while West Indies in their response ended the day on 58 for 1, trailing by 491 runs, with Brandon King the only batter to fall.

John Campbell was at the crease on 31 off 77 with Kavem Hodge (6 off 41) alongside him, as they sought to blunt the Lankan attack towards the close of play. Even so Sri Lanka will rue some missed opportunities, two off Hodge and one off Campbell.

Campbell’s was the toughest of the chances, as a top edged pull gave Isitha Wijesundara plenty of ground to cover from fine leg. Always on the move, he was uncertain about whether to go for the catch or not and eventually ended up bailing on the chance in favour of stopping the boundary – something he failed to do in any case.
