WI making the most of pace-friendly conditions in SL, hosts are 93/5, with their top five all back in the hut. any chance of a surprise WI win?

Don't think there's anybody who wouldn't want to see the WI take this, SL fans aside of course.
Then again, their bowling has always been halfway decent, with Taylor/Roach/Holder/spin. It's their batting that's the problem.
And Warrican has his first with the spinner's primary weapon!

I think the bigger question here is will Bishoo get a bowl?

Late burst for Jomel "Hurrican" Warrican. 200 all out. Neat.

Jomel Warrican is a very satisfying name to say.

And Shai Hope goes for 4. Brilliant, the batsmen still can't bat!

In the latest news, the Pope is Catholic, middle-order batsmen can't open, and bears defaecate in the woods.

Brathwaite looks out of place in this WI side. He actually looks like a competent batsmen, who can defend and take on the spinners as well. We can't have that now, can we?

Ha! Him, Blackwood, and occasionally Holder are the noteworthy ones. I might try Hope lower down the order too (y'know, where he normally bats).

SL lead is already over 100 and they have 8 wickets in hand. I'd say anything over 200 is too much for this WI side. While declaring at lunch on day three might sound ridiculous, SL don't need more than a couple of sessions to bowl this lot out.
Aren't I right, folks?

Brathwaite had only one test wicket before this match and all of a sudden has a maiden five-fer. Super effort. A shame that SL's lead is potentially too large already but hoping for a good last innings by the Windies.
Edit: Finishes with six!

Brathwaite is not only a competent batsman but also, it turns out, a rather handy off break bowler. He finishes with a career-best 29-6. Also, he is on a hat-trick the next time, he comes onto bowl.
But 244 is a tall order for this WI side. SL to win by about 100 runs I'd say.
