Sri Lanka tightens grip on WI on day 02

Dhammika Prasad bounded in, making the early incisions, allrounder Milinda Siriwardana struck either side of lunch, and offspinner Dilruwan Perera took care of the tail, as West Indies were bowled out for 163.

Sri Lanka secured a 37-run lead by tea on the second day, at the P Sara Oval.

The lead was built further by Kusal Mendis and Kaushal Silva, who added 54 together, the highest partnership of the Test so far.

Sri Lanka were on 76 for 2 at stumps with a lead of 113.
