If day one belonged to Dhananjaya de Silva, day two belonged to the quiet emergence of a player most casual observers had never heard of: Amir Jangoo. Sri Lanka were also left to rue a bowling effort that, through a combination of sloppiness and misfortune, handed West Indies every opportunity they could have hoped for. 

West Indies ended the day at 271 for 5, trailing Sri Lanka by just 37 runs. This position would have felt almost unimaginable had you fallen asleep after the close of day one with a 308-run deficit looming. However, the match has swung decisively, and three days remain.
