60.5
Permaul to Lakmal, out Caught by Warrican!! Maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket for Permaul! A loopy delivery by the spinner and Lakmal looks to go big against it. Shimmies down the wicket and swings hard, only to get a top edge that balloons towards Warrican at backward point. Sri Lanka in danger of getting bowled out before lunch. And if that happens, it will be 9 wickets in this morning session. Wow! Lakmal c Warrican b Permaul 12(20) [4s-2]

Permaul to Embuldeniya, out Bowled!! What was that! Embuldeniya has completely missed this. This one pitched on off and it kept straight. Embuldeniya probably played for the spin as he tried to defend it, but the ball doesn't turn much. Slides along the deck to beat his defence and disturbs the furniture.

What a session for the visitors this is proving to be, that's Permaul's third wicket. Was a loopy delivery around off, and Asalanka who looks to defend this, gets an inside edge that deflects off the pads towards short leg.

No doubts about the edge and off goes DDS. Two in the over for Permaul and West Indies fight back with spin. de Silva c Joshua Da Silva b Permaul 2(2)

After the last one spun and bounced, this is the arm-ball, darted in quickly and Nissanka completely played down the wrong line, it struck him low on the pads right in front and umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge took his time before raising the finger. Pretty adjacent that and West Indies' good morning continues. Would've hit middle as the replays show. Nissanka lbw b Permaul 73(148) [4s-5 6s-1]
