    2.4 not a third time though! This time the edge goes safely into gloves, and Nissanka is out. This was a back of a length ball, seaming way just slightly, but wide of off. That was there to throw the bat at perhaps, but likely because of the previous two balls, Nissanka plays at it without much foot movement, and provides a thin top edge that Shai Hope pouches comfortably. West Indies have their first. 20/1
    7.3 that's just stunning bowling. Bowls a rapid one now, but puts plenty of work on it. Kusal is back opening the face and trying to carve this through cover, but the revs on the ball means it turns off the surface and clatters into the top of his off stump. He'd set him up with two slower balls, and bowled the quick one to get him. 58/3
    3.2 hits the top of off as KJP tries to bash him across the line. That's lovely bowling, but a poor shot from the batter as well, who hadn't faced Joseph before. Just played over the top of a ball that was a tad too full for that cross-batted shot. 27/2
    16.1 And he makes amends for his horror first over! Kamindu looks to step across and pull this over deep backward square, but Chase runs in from the boundary and holds on to an excellent grab on the run 140/4
    18.2 Brilliant take at long-on! Asalanka looks to get under this good length ball on off, and aims to go down the ground. It's a slower one though and he doesn't time it. Evin Lewis is back-pedalling having rushed in and he holds on excellently. Asalanka departs for 59 163/5
    19.2 Another brilliant take in the deep! The West Indies have caught well today. This was short and slow, Bhanuka looks to pull it high over deep square leg, but doesn't get the timing nor the distance. Motie is the man running in, and he dives and holds on to this inches off the ground. Nice little forward roll to ensure the ball doesn't spill out either. They go upstairs to confirm it was clean, but this looked solid. And yeah, it's out 171/6
    19.5 Brilliant work from Hope! Hasaranga run out looking to steal a bye. Chamindu swings again, but this was a good slower one, 121kph outside off. Big swing, but way too early on the stroker as he misses. Wanindu sets off but Hope's underarm throw finds him well short 175/7

    11.4 Sri Lanka have King! That's the wicket they wanted. This was pushed on the pads, but it grips and straightens. King looks to heave it on the onside but the leading edge takes it straight up in the air, as Kusal Perera settles under it near cover to hold on well 128/3
    9.1 thick outside edge, and snaffled nicely with a forward dive by Wickramaratne at short third. That was quick, and Lewis might have been a little surprised by the pace. He fends at this length ball outside off, and the edge carries to Chamindu, who will feel better for having swallowed that 107/1
    10.1 Well more of these will certainly help! Leading edge and Wanindu gobbles it up! This is the googly, that Hope went back to and seemed to have read. But it held up in the surface a touch and it meant he closed the face a little too early, as the leading edge pops back to Wanindu for a simple return catch 114/2
    17.5 Edged and gone! This was pace-off on a good length, wide of off. Chase has a swing at it but he only gets a thin edge. Kusal has to dive low to his right, in front of him as well, but he holds on 167/5
    16.1 Well they tried! But finds long-on! Sri Lanka hanging on by their fingertips. This was a short of a length on off, and Powell looks to go back and muscle this down the ground. But it's straight at Wanindu on the long-on boundary 160/4
