5.33pm Well, what a fascinating slow-burn of a fourth day. And by the close, all four results are theoretically feasible. West Indies have done the needful in the short term, reaching the close with minimal damage after being set a hefty 375 to win… and that’s down to a further 341 tomorrow with nine wickets standing. So long as Kraigg Brathwaite is in situ, there’s security in their situation, but they’ve chased down more than this in recent times – step forward Kyle Mayers…
For Sri Lanka, it was a tale of two innings – Pathum Nissanka made a superb 103, a feat of self-denial that brought him a century on debut, and Niroshan Dickwella made a superbly Dickwellish 96, an innings that had everything you could hope from the greatest nearly-man in Test history. From PDP, Miller and Ranjith, good night!
Embuldeniya to Bonner, no run, blocked with heroic resolve on the back foot, and that is stumps
