June 19 (CRICKETNMORE) – The second test between West Indies and Sri Lanka ended in a draw, losing just one wicket in the second session, on the final day of the riveting contest at the Darren Sammy Cricket Ground here Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
At tea, the hosts were 108 for four with opener Kraigg Brathwaite unbeaten on 44 and Shai Hope on 34 not out. The pair has added a crucial 44 runs for the fifth wicket to pull the innings out of trouble at 64 for four just after lunch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brathwaite, unbeaten on 32 at lunch, made just 12 runs in the session, and has faced 148 balls and struck five fours in a typically gritty knock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Hope, meanwhile, forced to retire hurt on six at 25 for two in the first session, returned to the crease and has counted three fours and a six in 102-ball innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
