00:11and we're all set for first ball day three
00:22most vulnerable mali at the start of at this place start of innings
00:28or the resumption after an interval so a tricky little period here
00:37yeah oppish but away for four that's the area that he's looking for rust and chase to play
00:44he has protection but a little bit wide wide enough for a boundary moves to 46. first runs
00:51of day three two seven five four five
00:57there he goes again targeting that front part but rust and chase gets the bat on it
01:03gets three so he moves to 49.
01:12that's four and that's a significant half century for rust and chase his twelfth
01:19in test match cricket his first in the last 21 test innings first against sri lanka and his first as
01:28the west indies test captain well played
01:36drives handsomely through extra cover strong enough to go into the boundary line so
01:42consecutive boundaries and rust and chase grows in confidence
01:50beautiful stroke didn't have to run he just lent on it and offered sufficient power to get four
02:06a top shot from amer jangu his good form continues driving excellence from him
02:16oh there's an edge flying past the outstretched arms of the skipper and slip
02:24a diving effort on the boundary wait to see if it was saved but a chance you'll see a tough
02:32one though
02:32it's not quite there for the drive there's a chance it's flicked away this could be it for
02:39amir jangu it's getting close to the boundary and what a celebration for him he has done it
02:45what a moment for the young man a composed and mature innings a display of remarkable sagacity and control
02:54from all he promised to full reward that is the significant innings for amir jangu
03:04this one is hit eerily but enough to get to the rope as well so you mentioned him beginning to
03:13be
03:13expansive that one errant in line and capitalized as well jangu
03:22deliberate quite deliberate from jangu knew that there are vacant areas out there
03:26it will dribble towards the boundary just now
03:35elegant really gorgeous from rust and chase the timing the placement
03:47that's lofted quite deliberate again from jangu
03:52couple bounces for four so he is now countering their plan with a plan of his own
04:03and a full toss and duly dispatched by rust and chase so important to still look to score
04:12and not just be defensive down the wicket
04:18the lifting it will it go all the way and the six signals so intent from amir jangu
04:27153 balls for 100 runs just there just reaching slightly outside edge taken it will beat the fielder
04:35into the boundary for four so insult to injury edge taken no one in that position milestones after milestones
04:47150 150 150 to amir jangu what an innings it's been you just mentioned brian lara's score but this
04:56being the first innings his first innings versus shilanka it's the highest score by a west indian
05:03playing their first test innings versus this great destination in shilanka
05:12going to be pushing he'll be pushing should get back for two and he does
05:18rust and chase look at the smile on his face
05:24it's a great applause around the ground here at the civivian richard stadium have a look at the market
05:29jumbies the turner clan the west indian fans showing great appreciation
05:36for what's been a superb innings from the west indies skipper
05:44he's reaping the rewards of putting in all the hard work this one slapped
05:50wrath nika had to take evasive action
05:54so amir jangu looking to be expansive a bit more expansive now not quite out the middle of the bat
06:01but
06:01good power nonetheless
06:04edged he went hard at it and flies over the slip cordon so four more
06:12partner jango and more frustration for the sri lankans
06:19outside edge wide and going further allows roston chase to throw his bat at
06:33edge edge and once again between first and third slip the slips have been staggered
06:42and it's all happening in this over from rat nika
06:49comes the reverse and it's in the gap and it's properly timed so that's four
06:55low risk from chase well executed
07:03straight and goes all the way chase middling this one was flighted slightly and he had to reach to
07:17to the left side this time just helping it on its way runs continue to leak for sri lanka
07:28swan a big it's in the air though there's a fielder there oh just goes over
07:36he stayed in with it for a long time but it was helped by the win in the end
07:44150 up for roston chase
07:51a real captain's knock darren sammy over the moon roston chase a bit reserved with his celebrations
07:59he knows the job isn't done yet and he's had that demeanor throughout his innings
08:06ultra determined and he's reaped the wards
08:11edge over the top once again so chance created but not quite going to hand four more
08:21double century look double century for amir jangvu the day just keeps getting better for this young
08:30man have a look at him over the moon with this performance everyone around the ground on their feet
08:40standing ovation for the trinidadian left hander look at the emotion on the face
08:48this day three he's gone high with the wind not quite out the middle but it sails a long way
08:55over
08:55that mid-wicket boundary
08:59for the reverse over the top insult to injury four more ten runs in two deliveries jangu on the charge
09:13there is protection there but he can't hold that back in moves past his highest first class score
09:21for amir jangu
09:25he swings high he swings hard and another maximum for amir jangu six more
09:39at this time he would be taken leading edge and kushal mendes completes the catch
09:47finally now wicked for sri lanka it's been a long toil but what a knock by the west indian south
09:55for amir jangu
09:58maiden test ton and he's converted converted that to a test double ton and so it's the end of amir
10:06jangu
10:06looking to repeat from previously the leading edge a little bit of uncertainty but the catch
10:14completed in the end quite comfortably by kushal mendes and finally success for sri lanka
10:23a wonderful enough teammates on their feet applauding a remarkable effort
10:33from amir jangu 233 is where his innings will end 569 for six
10:46off the mark straight away streaky for two at us but he'll take it
10:58just a little bit too straight right now finishing the over with another boundary
11:04to finally 578 for six now
11:09a connection really good sound off the bat from alzari joseph all the way for six
11:21there he goes again alzari joseph even further this time
11:26middle of the bat met and another six for him five nine eight
11:36hit high up on the bat and kusal mendes takes another one so another wicked that they were looking
11:43for sri lanka's zari joseph threatened for a bit looking to go for a shot in the end dismissed by
11:50real milan rafanayaka
11:53going with the short ball getting
11:55getting a good height that was uncomfortable for alzari joseph
12:05to pc on that occasion the line the right one it was outside the awesome joseph looking to go
12:10leg side so his little cameo comes at an end 21 from 20 balls that's a seventh wicket down now
12:17for
12:17west indies 5.99 the score
12:22big shot takes on the field and does so quite well shema joseph a big six from him
12:33scooping well this time just a little paddle from rust and chase and i know why that lady didn't want
12:39them to declare she's enjoying the entertainment from the west indies west indians with batting hand
12:48it's a little bit closer and just over the fielders head so close enough for him to dispatch
12:56of that delivery and does so with immense power
13:03sweep in i think he swept that onto his stump yes he has rust and chase it's a shot that
13:11he's played
13:11very well this time sweeping it onto his stumps a whole unfortunate for the west indian skipper to miss
13:20out on a significant landmark just getting a bit of glove and directing that one onto his leg stump yep
13:32agonizingly short of a double century in test match cricket but take nothing away
13:37from the effort the application the significance of the innings achieving a world record alongside
13:44amir django for the highest six wicket partnership in test match cricket
13:50hold your head high where cindy's captain and well played roston chase
13:58one for 194 it's 625 for eight
14:07another appeal and milan rachlanayaka was toiled hard all day perhaps a fifa for him
14:16kemar roach is going to challenge this decision though okay original decision is out
14:24impact in line yeah you know we get umpire's call go back on field to cycac and stick original decision
14:32about signal
14:37yeah confirmation so umpire's call and i think a brilliant effort from milan rachlanayaka on a flat deck
14:45to achieve a five wicked haul and curious decision to review that roston chase then calling the players in
14:54took some time out of the game definitely with reviewing that
15:00so as thing stands here the match summary sri lanka dismissal 308 on day one was still
15:07knees in reply with a mammoth total of 626 for nine and really healthy lead of 318 runs
15:17declaration coming on the back of that also can he repeat with another one
15:24off the mark straight away so positivity intent and that's important we look at that malian viewers
15:30throughout the course of the sri lankan second innings because runs are important you just can't occupy the
15:41crease yeah joshua da silva can't hold on to that one so it would be four buys
15:51edge taken by joshua da silva first up moves to 97 test wickets jaden seals
16:00and what a start nissanka fails again exactly what western is wanted maybe didn't reap the rewards in
16:09the first innings but here from first deliveries right on the money joshua da silva takes a comfortable
16:16catch he'll be happy to see the ball nestle into his gloves and seals look at the elation
16:23the jubilation one down here the shilankans nissanka has to go he's failed in this test match going for
16:32just three eight for one
16:38yeah that's competently whipped for four by rajita and gets off the map
16:46confidently
16:51manages to see it off rajita and that's the end of play on day three here at the sir vivian
16:59richards
17:00stadium 15 for one is where sri lanka would end but what an innings the day belonged to amir jangu
17:09still
17:10receiving a lot of applause and approbations from his teammates for a stellar performance
17:19no doubt one that would be remembered and spoken about for a long long time
17:28deserves all of the credit that he gets rust and chase to six runs short of a double century himself
17:39but a pivotal knock for the west indies test captain
17:46they'll all reflect on day three both teams sri lanka 308 and 15 for one the west indies 626
17:55for nine ratnika with the fifa but jangu and chase couple effort from those two
18:06sri lanka still trailing by 303 runs so it will be a herculean effort from them on day four a
18:15lot in store for us
18:17so
