Rakhim Cornwall and Joshua da Silva took West Indies to lunch, however later within the fifth over, Cornwall wronged the bridge on a brief supply from Suranga Lakmal and took it to sq. leg.
He scored 39 runs in 58 balls at midwicket with the assistance of 5 fours and a six.
Cornwall and da Silva mixed for 49 runs, their group’s second-best partnership.
At that time the rain got here and by no means actually left, however the umpires waited 3 1/2 hours.
More rain is forecast on the fourth and fifth days.
If and when play resumes, Sri Lanka can take the brand new ball.

Spinners Praveen Jayavikrama and Ramesh Mendis took three wickets every.
