What they're saying
"

Campbell made 72 off 154 balls with nine fours and two sixes but holed out to mid-wicket close to lunch off Asitha Fernando’s short ball to give Sri Lanka its breakthrough after West Indies had resumed on 58-1. Kavem Hodge, who had plenty of dot balls and successfully overturned an lbw decision, stayed unbeaten on 25 off 114 balls with Amir Jangoo 8 not out at the interval. West Indies, which has a 1-0 lead in the two-match series, trails heavily on a wicket which still looks perfect for batting and there’s hardly any turn for Sri Lanka’s premier spinner Prabath Jayasuriya.
