The question day three posed was whether Hope and Greaves could convert overnight fifties into something that truly mattered. The answer arrived over the course of a long, absorbing day four that will be remembered for an innings of stature, an unusual dismissal, a captain taken off the field injured, and a match that arrives at day five entirely alive.
West Indies were bowled out for 499, and Sri Lanka closed at 92 for 2 with a lead of 142. A draw remains the most likely outcome. But only just.
