West Indies vs Sri Lanka, 3rd Test, Day 3, Live Score, Barbados.

So, the game just about hangs in the balance, with the home side holding a slight upper hand. Ian Bishop on air mentions that if Kusal Perera recovers, he will come out to bat. Sri Lanka still needs 63 runs to win. 

They will pin their hopes on Kusal Mendis but they will also need their lower order to support him. If the hosts get rid of the youngster early, they will become the firm favourites to win this game. Join us on Tuesday at 1430 Local (1830 GMT) to catch all the action. It could be the final day of the match, provided the rain doesn't interfere. Till then, cheers!

Darren Ganga talks to Kemar Roach and asks him about the batting conditions. To that, the fast bowler replies that it wasn't easy to bat today, especially under lights. Suggests that they would have liked to get a few more runs on the board but failed to do so. 

Praises his skipper by saying that he was on fire and reaped the rewards as well. Concludes by saying that on Day 4, they would like to attack and take the remaining wickets as early as possible to win the Test match.

The touring bowlers came out all guns blazing though. Suranga Lakmal and Kasun Rajitha bowled fierce spells and took three wickets apiece. 

The Windies batsmen struggled to come to terms with the pace and bounce of the surface, eventually getting bundled out for 93. However, they came back roaring with the ball in the final phase of the day, reducing Sri Lanka to 81/5.

The Sri Lankan batsmen didn't show real application either. At the fag end of the day, Niroshan Dickwella threw his wicket away, handing the advantage to the Windies. Earlier, the visitors couldn't add much to their overnight tally. They lost their last five wickets for just 73, letting the home side take a handy 50-run lead.
