Overview

  • Amir Jangoo and captain Roston Chase put on 401 for the sixth wicket, the highest sixth-wicket partnership in Test history, with Jangoo scoring 233 and Chase making 194.
  • The West Indies declared on 626 for 9 to lead by 318, and Sri Lanka finished Day 3 at 15 for 1, still trailing by 303 runs.
  • The 401-run stand, achieved on June 27 after West Indies were 168 for 5, rescued the hosts and consumed more than 600 balls across nearly five sessions.
  • Jangoo was a late inclusion and is playing only his second Test; his innings set a new West Indies World Test Championship individual record by surpassing Kyle Mayers.
  • Sri Lanka lost seamer Lahiru Kumara to injury and saw Milan Rathnayake take a five-wicket haul, factors that weakened their bowling and increase West Indies’ chances of claiming WTC points.
