Darren Bravo hit an unbeaten 63 for his third half-century to boost the West Indies to 134 for 2 on a rain affected opening day of the third and final Test against Sri Lanka.
Bravo, who made 58 and 80 in the first two Tests, cracked nine fours in his 111-ball knock to steady the innings after the first-ball dismissal of former captain Chris Gayle.
He put on 115 for the second wicket with opener Devon Smith, who hit a solid 55 before being trapped leg-before by unorthodox spinner Ajantha Mendis in the final session.
Smith hit seven fours in his fifth Test half-century.
Only 40 overs were possible in the day due to bad light and rain.
The series is tied at nil-all after the first two test ended in rain-hit draws.
