- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.1 And another wicket to start the over! Athanaze looks to charge him, but he's not got to the pitch. It's the tossed up googly, and Athanaze has been done by the dip. It turns past the outside edge as Kusal whips off the bails in quick time 41/27.1 And he strikes straight away! He is pumped, and he should be. This was tossed up, and dipping on around a good length. It's the googly, as King looks to plant the slog sweep. But he's left a massive gap between bat and pad and Hasaranga has crashed through it 34/125.3 But he can't repeat the trick! Front foot this time, and again it's off the bottom of the bat, but here it's slower and Carty gets right under it. Bottom hand once more comes off the bat as this goes high but not all that far. Wellalage settles under it at long-on and holds on comfortably 100/412.6 Vandersay has struck courtesy a fantastic review! This is a good length leg break, straightening just enough and it's struck the front pad around off. Sri Lanka appeal, but umpire says no. Was this bat first or pad first? Sri Lanka have reviewed. Oh and that's a cracking review! This was in fact pad first and it's crashing into the middle and off 54/3Extras12 (lb 9, w 3)TOTAL185/4 (38.3 Overs, RR: 4.8)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Brandon King, 7.1 ov), 2-41 (Alick Athanaze, 9.1 ov), 3-54 (Shai Hope, 12.6 ov), 4-100 (Keacy Carty, 25.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR24.4 Did this carry? Yes it has! This one is full on the stumps as Madushka looks to work it onside, but he gets an edge low to slip, and it's well held. They go upstairs to confirm and Madushka's brilliant debut knock comes to an end 182/41.3 Flashed straight to backward point! Alzarri with the breakthrough. This is full length outside off, not quite overpitched, but Avishka wants to drive. His feet don't move as he pushes away from his body and the ball flies to Roston Chase who gobbles it up 6/13.2 Top edge goes high, and Shai Hope gets under it! Mendis swipes across the line to this length ball but ends up skying it behind and to the leg side. Hope claims it running back, gets under it around the short fine leg region, and makes no mistake, giving Alzarri his second wicket of the night 22/26.3 What a jaffa! Tossed upp full on middle and leg, and it spins away sharply to take off stump as Samarawickrama pushes forward. He was beaten all ends up. "Whoohoo" goes Motie as he wheels away in celebration. Like Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama walks off after a quick attacking cameo 45/326.1 That's spun in sharp, and up goes the finger! But Asalanka reviews immediately. This is on a length outside off and it comes back in to rap him on the knee roll of the front pad as Asalanka looks to pull. The ball stayed low for his shot and he missed. This looks quite plumb, really. Yeah, impact in front of off and that's crashing into leg stump. Asalanka has to go for a well made 77, but this suddenly opens the door for a West Indies comeback! 187/5Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL234/5 (31.5 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Avishka Fernando, 1.3 ov), 2-22 (Kusal Mendis, 3.2 ov), 3-45 (Sadeera Samarawickrama, 6.3 ov), 4-182 (Nishan Madushka, 24.4 ov), 5-187 (Charith Asalanka, 26.1 ov)
