9:04 AM: Day 4

Hello and welcome once again on the fourth day of the first test match against Sri Lanka vs West India in Gale. After an effective first two days, the third day of the game was raining. The weather forecast has also predicted rain for the last two days. Let’s hope for the best.

The West Indies have their backs against the wall in the Galle Test. In the 38 games played on Tuesday, the West Indies, which started the night with a score of 113 for six, had a variable day in the middle.

Poor light and light drizzle have forced early stumps on the third day.

Wire riders Praveen Jayawickrama and Ramesh Mendis have defeated three places, but Da Silva’s determined defense, unbeaten from 11 of 70 balls, kept the Caribbean upright on a day when three and a half hours were lost to the elements.

Additional rainfall is forecast for days four and five. If and when the game continues, Sri Lanka can take a new ball.
