Sri Lanka 387/9d
West Indies 165/5 (45.0 ov)
West Indies trail by 222 runs with 5 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
West Indian opener Adrian Barath was trapped leg before wicket by Nuwan Kulasekara in his first over, with the batsman calling for a review but losing the appeal.
Chris Gayle, who got off the mark with a boundary off the first over bowled by spinner Ajantha Mendis, was on four at the break with West Indies on seven for one.
Earlier, Sri Lanka added 93 runs to their overnight first innings score of 294-5.
Skipper Kumar Sangakkara completed his 13th score of 150 runs in tests before Darren Sammy had him caught by Gayle at first slip as he attempted an expansive drive.
Sangakkara struck 18 fours and a six in his 267-ball innings.
Left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn then broke through the defences of Prasanna Jayawardene for 34.
Fast bowler Roach then had Kulasekara caught at point for 17 and Mendis bowled for two to finish with figures of five for 100 - his second five wicket haul.
