1st Test: Rahkheem Cornwall, Joshua Da Silva rescue West Indies after Suranga Lakmal's 5-wicket haul on Day 2

West Indies vs Sri Lanka 1st Test: West Indies took a 99-run lead after Rahkeem Cornwall and Joshua Da Silva resurrected their team's innings following a 5-wicket haul from Sri Lanka pacer Joshua Da Silva on Day 2 of the first Test.

Sri Lanka seamer Suranga Lakmal took five wickets to rip through the West Indies middle order but a fightback from all-rounder Rahkeem Cornwall kept the hosts in the driving seat after the second day of the first test in North Sound, Antigua, on Monday. West Indies went to the close on 268 for eight, a first-innings lead of 99 which could already be decisive on an abrasive surface that will get harder to score on. Cornwall, who was born in Antigua, had his maiden test half-century and was 60 not out having put on an excellent stand of 90 for the eighth wicket with the more circumspect Joshua Da Silva, before the latter was out just before the close for 46 from 124 balls.
