                                         Sri Lanka v India, 3rd ODI, Colombo

                                           groups search new start in Colombo

After two diverging matches in Hambantota, the groups gear up for another double-header at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, with the sequence precisely tied up at 1-1. Sri Lanka will be the more confident of the two edges after the nine-wicket concealing they dished out to India in the preceding outing, but India have a superior record at the Premadasa, where the heat and humidity and shorter boundaries will seem more snug after blustery Hambantota.

                                                    West Indies v New Zealand

West Indies 442 for 6 (Gayle 150, Powell 134, Fudadin 55, Deonarine 54*) lead New Zealand 351 by 91 runs

Centuries by Chris Gayle and Kieran Powell, who put on 254 for the first wicket, put West Indies on the route to securing a sizeable first-innings lead, but a few late hits after tea provided New Zealand an unfastening. Gayle and Powell expanded the hosts' dominance by batting out the morning meeting, but the other top-order batsmen couldn't quite carry on after making begins. Assad Fudadin and Narsingh Deonarine made persevering half-centuries to double-check West Indies didn't capitulate after the start supplied by the openers and, by stumps, their team still held the upper hand, leading by 91.
