Opening batsman Pathum Nissanka scored an unbeaten 61 to get Sri Lanka off to a good start Monday on Day One of the second Test against the West Indies as the hosts reached 113-1 at stumps.

Play was suspended because of bad light in the 35th over. Nissanka and captain Dimuth Karunaratne shared 106 runs for the first wicket.

Karunaratne looked rusty in his 90-ball 42 before being caught and bowled by off-spinner Roston Chase. Nissanka looked more fluent as his runs came off 109 deliveries.
