Day 4, Stumps:

A fine knock from Mendis, who ends the day unbeaten on 94. He was involved in half-century stands with Mathews and Silva, but with both batsmen back in the hut, Sri Lanka's position has become a bit dicey. They end the day at 176 for 3, needing 277 more for a victory.

Silva falls after half-century stand:

Roshen Silva, who supported Mendis in building a partnership, departs for 14. It was a soft dismissal as the batsman was early into his shot and handed a catch back to Bishoo. Sri Lanka are 175 for 3.

150 up for Sri Lanka:

The dismissal of Mathews hasn't stopped Mendis from playing his shots. He has entered the 70s and Roshen Silva haas given him good support as Sri Lanka have crossed the 150 mark.

End of a defiant stand:

Mathews has to depart and an unfortunate way to go, caught down the leg side off Jason Holder. Sri Lanka are 123 for 2.

Fifty for Mendis:

Having been nearly run out after a mix-up with Mathews, Mendis brings up a hard-fought half-century to keep Sri Lanka steady. The visitors are 113 for 1.

Lucky break for Mendis:

The batsman earns a reprieve as Dowrich puts down a catch behind the stumps off Bishoo. Meanwhile, the half-century stand is up and Sri Lanka reach 100.

Positive start after Tea:

Mathews comes down the track twice to Bishoo and scores two fours. Mendis then plays a pick-up shot over square leg for a six off Roach and follows it up with a cover drive for a four. Sri Lanka move to 88 for 1.

Day 4, Tea:

Despite Chandimal retiring ill, Mendis and Mathews have done a good job of keeping Windies at bay. They go into Tea at 65 for 1 with Mendis and Mathews having added 16.

Chandimal off the field:

It seemed like a headache or a migraine - Chandimal walks off the field as he seems to be in a lot of pain. Sri Lanka are 49 for 1.

Steady partnership:

Kusal Mendis and Chandimal have done a good job of keeping the Windies bowlers at bay. They have also scored the runs at a fair clip to ensure the scorecard is ticking. Sri Lanka move to 44 for 1.

Kusal Perera falls after positive start:

With two boundaries off Shannon Gabriel, Kusal Perera signalled a positive intent straightaway. However, that proved to be his downfall as he was looking to flick a short delivery to the onside only to edge it to Devon Smith at first slip. Gabriel could have had one more, when it appeared Kusal Mendis had got an outside edge. But Windies did not opt for the review after the umpire had ruled in favour of the batsman, with replays later revealing that there was indeed an edge.

Eventually, it was a good decision that they didn't review it. Another replay shows that the bowler had over-stepped.

Windies declare on 223/7

Quick runs from Bishoo and Roach in the short period of play after Lunch stretches the lead past 450. Windies declare soon after, leaving Sri Lanka with a target of 453. Powell top-scored in the second innings with 88 while Kumara (3-40) was the best bowler for Sri Lanka. Can the visitors show some fight in their second essay when they come out to bat? Or will the Windies pacers continue to trouble them? We'll find out soon.

Day 4, Lunch:

78 runs scored in the session off 29 overs, not quick going but it has Sri Lanka remain a tired unit. Windies go to Lunch at 209 for 7, leading by 438 runs. Will there be a declaration before the post-lunch session or will Windies continue to bat?

Holder departs:

An attempt to reverse sweep Herath brings about Holder's downfall as he doesn't make any contact with the ball and is trapped in front. The DRS fails to help him reverse the onfield decision and he has to depart for 39. Windies are 203 for 7, leading by 432.

200 up for Windies:

A short delivery from Lahiru Gamage is slashed away by Bishoo, who helps Windies past the 200-run mark.

Powell departs:

Coming down the track and looking to flick a Dilruwan delivery through the mid-wicket region, Powell fails to keep the ball down and ends up handing a catch to substitute fielder Vandersay, who puts in the dive. Windies are now 191 for 6, leading by 420.

Lead crosses 400:

Despite being troubled by short deliveries from Kumara, Powell has continued in a solid manner while Holder has also started in a brisk fashion. The lead has crossed 400 with Powell closing in on a three-figure score.

Wicket:

Third wicket for Lahiru Kumara. Bowling mostly back of length deliveries to Dowrich, he bowls one slightly fuller and traps Dowrich in front with a delivery that nips back. A single for Holder off the next delivery takes Windies to 150.

The start:

Lakmal begins with a maiden to Dowrich but the pressure is eased from the other end as Herath bowls a short one first up to Powell, who muscles it past the cover region off the back foot for his seventh four.

Pitch report:

"The pitch has behaved well but there have been some areas from where ball has misbehaved. Some cracks are beginning to open up which means life will be difficult for the batsmen in the fourth innings. The odd ball will keep low. Batting is going to be difficult as the day goes on," reckons Sunil Gavaskar.

Build-up:

Hello and welcome to the Live Blog for Day 4 of the first Test between Windies and Sri Lanka in Port of Spain. The hosts extended their domination on Day 3 thanks to a clinical performance from their pacers, bowling out Sri Lanka for 185 to pick up a 229-run lead. They could have enforced the follow-on but didn't as they wanted to "keep Sri Lanka on the field and get them tired," reasoned Kieran Powell.

Despite losing a few early wickets, the hosts were able to stretch their lead to 360 by the time stumps were drawn and that was thanks to Powell's unbeaten 64 which took them to 131 for 4. Windies will be looking to score some quick runs on the fourth morning to apply further pressure on the already troubled visitors.

"The plan is to bat till lunch and take it from there, put ourselves in a position from where we can't lose the game and getting Sri Lankans to run around," said Powell. If it goes according to plans, Sri Lanka will be looking at a 450-plus target. Can they limit the damage early on Day 4? We'll find out soon.
