That's it from us folks for this match. Hope you enjoyed this cracker. Until next time then ...

Here are some thoughts from both camps -

Shane Dowrich | MoS: Good performances right through the series, but it would have been good to sign off with a win. Credit to the Sri Lankans, they bowled really well to pull it back. This gives me a lot of confidence going forward and I'll look to take that into the next series which is starting shortly. As I said, their bowlers really took it away from us in the second innings. I have been struggling with an injury to my back, but I have a week for rehabilitation.

Suranga Lakmal: I am very happy, my first Test match as a captain and it is a good opportunity to lead. Three fast bowlers and a spinner did well and the entire team worked very hard right through the series.

Jason Holder | MoM: Obviously not the ending we were looking for. Credit to Sri Lanka, they played an outstanding game last night. Their opening bowlers lakmal and Kumara pushed us back but we just did not have enough runs in the second innings. It put our bowlers too under pressure to come back. But still we should be proud of the way we fought. I think we lost in the second innings with our batting performance, we just didn't put enough runs on the board. Even when we gave them 140-odd we thought we were in the game and our new ball bowlers too picked up early wickets. We missed a few chances in the field, and no balls are an area we need to improve on. But again, the second innings batting performance let us down. It has been a tough Test match and a tough Test series for me personally, but we have to turn it around quickly between this series and Bangladesh coming up next week. Lots of positives - Shannon Gabriel bowled brilliantly, Shane Dowrich too. Roach needs to be mentioned too. But we needed more people to stand up. A few good top-order partnerships too should put us in good stead.

The first two days were more like cricket in the rain breaks. And that cricket too meant mostly wickets. But the Windies turned it around snatching a huge 50-run lead in the context. But the Lankans made the twist hairpin bend like with the new ball under lights to skittle the batsmen out for 93. And then this partnership, killing any suspense there could be .. umm, we've had enough. Stick around for the 'official' presentations.

Chandika Hathurusingha, Sri Lankan coach: Really great feeling for the boys. Lot of ups and downs in the series, so to come back and level the series is a great feeling. We were under pressure from the start, I felt Jason led them really well and we responded really well. We won the match in the second innings when we took their 7 wickets for just 50 odd runs. Suranga had a talk with the boys before the start of the innings, and that worked. He led from the front, that spell in the second innings proved to be decisive. This is a young team without our senior players. This will give young players a lot of confidence. We will feel really confident after this victory. Kusal Mendis is an outstanding player. We made him bat at three different positions and he responded really well. He is a great player, one for the future.

Dilruwan Perera: Really happy to finish the game like this. We thought if we could bat longer, we could achieve the target. We knew the wicket was a little uneven so it would be hard, and if we could bat positively, we could get the runs. We (Kusal and I) both play for the same club and we know each other. We managed to pile up the runs slowly. And this is the first time I've batted this way, so it was pretty hard for us, and I'm happy we managed to achieve it. I expected the seamers to do the job but when I am given the ball, I look to take wickets. He (Lakmal) has good experience of leadership and has won a domestic event as captain, so congratulations to him.

THAT'S THAT - SRI LANKA WIN BY FOUR WICKETS

Imran Khan-led Pakistan failed in 1988. Wasim Akram too failed to inspire his team to a win in 1993. Sourav Ganguly and his batch of 2002 came and failed. MS Dhoni and his conquering men couldn't do it in 2011. Mishah-ul-Haq's Pakistan faltered in 2017 but Sri Lanka became the first Asian side to register a win at the Kensington Oval in their first ever match at the venue.

Windies got the day off to a promising start. Jason Holder dismissed Kusal Mendis in the very first over of the day even before Sri Lanka were able to add to their overnight score. At 81 for 6, they were still 63 shy of the target with just one more batting pair left. Kusal, who suffered a nasty collision at the boundary in the third session on the third day, walked out to join Dilruwan.

With the ball not doing as much as it did under lights, the Sri Lankan pair had took the team forward with relative ease. Their unbeaten stand kept Holder and the other Windies bowlers at bay. Kusal played through discomfort while Dilruwan offered some stern resistance even as Windies threw every single challenge they had in their bag.

Windies will probably rue not coming up with a better batting performance in their second essay. They were shot down for just 93 after taking a handy 50-run first innings lead. Holder had an exceptional match as he scored 74 in the first innings and then picked up nine wickets in the match before the visitors ensured his lone hand wasn't enough for Windies to seal the series.

SL now 10 away ...

GETTING CLOSE: Kusal and Dilruwan are slowly chipping away at the runs and are taking Sri Lanka close. They now need just 30 runs more. The ball isn't doing much the Windies bowlers are finding it hard to earn a breakthrough.

Sri Lanka just 41 away now ...

WICKET: Holder strikes in the very first over of the day. Mendis dismissed even before Sri Lanka are able to add to the score. The Windies captain has a five-wicket haul to his name as well. Pinged in front and Mendis went for the review. This was dead. Kusal Perera walks out to bat.

Sri Lanka 81 for 6 and still 63 away.

Alrighty then, Mendis and Dilruwan Perera out to bat, Holder to start with the ball.

UPDATE - There's an update on Kusal Perera as well. He will bat if needed. He injured his chest after a collision at the boundary.

Hello and welcome to the live blog of the fourth day of the third and final Test between Windies and Sri Lanka. We should have a result today with Sri Lanka needing just 63 to level the series. Windies, on the other hand, need five wickets to seal the series 2-0.

If Windies go on to win, it'll be their only second Test series win since 2014. If Sri Lanka pull this off, they'll become the first team to win in Barbados after 16 attempts.
