That's a wrap of our coverage for this game. You can track all the latest developments regarding Chandimal's hearing on our site. Until next time, it's goodbye!
Holder, WI captain: Happy. Played some reasonable cricket in this game, probably not our best. Yesterday was a tough day in the field, weren't as disciplined as we should've been. It's obviously a concern (no-balls). We were better overall, were a lot more behind the line. It's an issue that hasn't gone unheard.
Gabriel, MoM: It's a great feeling. If someone had said to me today that I would've taken 100 Test wickets, I would've called him crazy. I've been preparing well before this series, getting myself fit. I'm okay. As long as I'm getting wickets, aches go away. Well supported by the other bowlers - Kemar, who was unlucky in this Test but kept running in. Anything other than a loss is good.
Chandimal, SL captain: I'm really happy with the way we played. Throughout the five days we played outstanding cricket. We had a chance to win if weather had permitted. Credit to West Indies bowling attack, they have some really good bowlers. In these conditions, it's tough to score runs. Have to improve as a team. We all know Rangana is a legend. But as a tactical move, we played Akila. He bowled well but the pitch didn't help him much. Gabriel bowled really well. He's a really good bowler.
A Test match that included some fantastic performances - Gabriel's sensational 13-wicket haul including an 8-fer in the second innings, Chandimal's brilliant hundred on a tough first-day pitch, the combined efforts of the Lankan bowlers - but is likely to be remembered for the tampering charges levelled at the Lankan skipper, who has appealed against it and will be appearing at a hearing at some point later on. Sri Lanka didn't take the field on the morning of Day 3 in protest, losing a good part of two hours or even more. Isn't that ironical considering how the match has ended. Let's hear from the presentations..
17:44 Local Time, 21:44 GMT, 03:14 IST: So that's it, play has been called off. The second Test ends in a draw. There was another shower which sealed the deal for the umpires.
Manian: Poetic justice if the two hours lost on day 3 helps Windies manage a draw in this match.
Varun: Sri Lanka must be wondering if they hadn't wasted 2 hours the other day, they could have got result in their favour.
17:06 Local Time, 21:06 GMT, 02:36 IST: Umpire Aleem Dar is reading something in a book, I wonder what he is reading? Umpires are taking the reading from the lightmeter again. And they are going off the field, another halt in play. Sri Lankans are hesitant to go back, they are literally crawling. Skipper Dinesh Chandimal shakes his head after having a conversation with umpires. Light is only going to get worse from here, so have we seen the final ball of this Test match?
Lakmal to Holder, no run, he has been hit where it really hurts and Holder is down. This must be painful, really painful. He won't be smiling for a long time. Physio is out in the middle, I am not sure how he is going to help Holder with this pain. Holder will have to deal this all by himself.
Umpire Aleem Dar is having a look at the light meter. In fact he is keeping it at the stumps to note the reading. He seems to be fine with the reading. And we will continue.
Lakmal to Kraigg Brathwaite, 1 run, in the air but wide of leg-slip for a single
Now, light meter comes in the middle. Umpire Aleem Dar keeps it in the pocket for the time being.
Lakmal to Kraigg Brathwaite, no run, short of length delivery outside off, takes his bottom hand of the willow to keep it down
