Update 0958 local time - Oh dear! We don't have good news to start with. The heavens have opened up and it is raining cats and dogs at the moment. Covers are out in the middle, it doesn't look a merry picture at the Queen's Park Oval and we will surely have a delayed start.

Hello and welcome to the coverage of the second day. Both the teams had their moments on the opening day of the game but they failed to capitalize on it. Sri Lanka started well with the ball yesterday but missed opportunities costed them dearly. The batsmen from the home team, got starts but failed to convert them. Honors were shared on Day 1, which makes the morning session very important. The Asian team today will look to pick the remaining wickets quickly, while Windies will be hoping to add as many runs as possible. Stay tuned for the action!

... Day 2, Session 1...

Earlier in the day, Windies elected to bat after winning the toss. None of their top order batsmen could make it big. Shai Hope did look promising but he too fell prey to Kumara who finished the day with a three-fer. They were in trouble at 147 for 5 but Holder and Dowrich came to their rescue and now they find themselves in a good position at the end of the day. Windies will now hope the rest along with Shane can take them somewhere close to 300. Whereas, the Sri Lankan bowlers will come out fresh on Thursday and try and bundle out the rest of the Windies' batsmen as quickly as possible. Do join us to find out what will happen on Day 2 of this Test match at 1000 local (1400 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye.

Third session - 93 for 1 in 34 overs! An excellent fightback by the Windies led by Dowrich, who walks off to a standing ovation by his teammates has seen the day end even-stevens. Sri Lanka came into the final phase with the idea of batting today but it was not to be. The resurgent pair of Holder and Dowrich joined forces and built a 90-run stand. They too rode their luck on their way but added vital runs before Lahiru Kumara, the pick of the bowlers, broke through. Bishoo then walked out and he along with Dowrich did well to play the day out. Overall, Sri Lanka were sloppy in the field as they missed quite a few chances.

... Day 1, Session 3 ...

A strong comeback by Sri Lanka after the drinks break means they are the happier side heading into Tea. The hosts did start off well with Hope and Chase stitching a 50-run stand. Yes, they did have luck on their side but take nothing away from their innings. They were scoring runs at will and both looked set for a big score. But after the drinks break, Kumara's short ball did the trick by removing Hope. Rangana Herath then, got into the action as he got his first in the form of Chase. After the two set batsmen were gone, the runs also started to choke and Sri Lanka now have a firm hold on this game. They would want more of the same in the next session. Whereas, the Windies would hope someone to stay out there and score big. Join us for the third and the last session in a while.
