OUT! Caught. Jayden Seales to Asitha Fernando. Reverse Swing-In length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, caught by Joseph. That's the end of the first innings, with Sri Lanka bowled out for 308 shortly before the close of Day 1. The visitors suffered early setbacks as they lost three quick wickets to fall to 42-3, but Dinesh Chandimal and captain Dhananjaya de Silva steadied the innings with a crucial partnership. Chandimal compiled a well-made half-century, while De Silva led from the front with a superb century. For the West Indies, Justin Greaves was among the wickets with three scalps, while Shamar Joseph, Kemar Roach, and Alzarri Joseph also claimed two wickets each in an impressive bowling effort.
