With the visitors needing victory to square the two-match series following their crushing innings-and-217-run defeat in the opener, the response could hardly have been more emphatic.
The morning initially belonged to the Caribbean pace attack.
Shamar Joseph struck twice with the new ball to expose Sri Lanka’s top order, first removing Nishan Madushka, who slashed at a wide delivery only for Brandon King to complete an excellent catch at point with just 15 runs on the board.
Ten runs later, Joseph celebrated again when Dinesh Chandimal flicked another inviting delivery straight to King, this time positioned at square leg, reducing Sri Lanka to 25 for two.
