1st Test: Oshada Fernando and Lahiru Thirimanne lead Sri Lanka's fightback on Day 3 vs West Indies

West Indies vs Sri Lanka: After West Indies took a 102-run first innings lead, Sri Lanka batsman Oshada Fernando played a 91-run knock to inspire his team to finish the Day 3 of the 1st Test on 255 for the loss of 4 wickets.

Oshada Fernando fell agonisingly short of a test century but his 91 runs helped Sri Lanka fight their way back and finish the third day of the first test against the West Indies on 255-4 in their second innings. Fernando and Lahiru Thirimanne put together a 162-run second-wicket partnership that wiped out the home team’s 102-run first-innings lead after West Indies had been dismissed for 271 in their first innings early on Tuesday. Sri Lanka, skittled out for 169 in their first innings, will start Wednesday’s play 153 runs ahead with six wickets in hand.
