Gayle wrote his name into history with his mammoth 333. Well done, Chris!

Yep, good innings by Gayle and the 333 will be a record for a longtime if not ever. Sri Lanka already scoring a 4.37 an over so they looking for quick runs...

Gayle and Barath are the only two players with a 50+ SR... I know this is not an ODI but you shows how freely the batsmen are scoring...

Well, this rain/bad light delay has decided a couple of things....

1) there's no way Sri Lanka can win from here. They won't have enough time to make enough runs to put the Windies back in again.

2) If we bowl them out for less than 380, we MUST enforce the follow-on.

How is the weather in SL?

Game on...

Roach to Samaraweera, no run, big appeal, but no referral.<.b> Roach is testing Thilan with pace and bounce, another short ball, this time very well-directed - right into the body and Thilan moves inside the line and fends at it as it whizzes down the leg. It hit something on the way, either glove or arm guard. Baugh thinks about it, but chooses not to go for the referral

Shilly going for runs...
