That's it from us folks. Join us for the next match on Sunday evening (Antigua time). Sri Lanka have ended their long losing streak, and the trophy is on the line. Take it easy!

Wanindu Hasaranga is player of the match: "The wicket was a bit slow. I tried not to give any boundaries. That's why I was able to bowl well. I bowl after the Powerplay, when Akila bowls. I just concentrate on line-and-length."

Sri Lanka's spinners have done the job tonight. Akila Dananjaya was good in the Powerplay, and returned figures of 1 for 13 from his four overs, 48 hours after he'd been carted for 62 runs in his spell. Wanindu Hasaranga then proved devastating, taking three for 17. Lakshan Sandakan took three wickets of his own, including the vital one of Kieron Pollard. And even Danushka Gunathilaka pitched in with a wicket, which means the slow bowlers claimed eight between them.

Earlier, Danushka Gunathilaka and Pathum Nissanka had been outstanding at the top of the order. Although they lost a bit of momentum through the middle and late overs, a cameo from Hasaranga dragged them to 160, which proved to be plenty. The series stays alive.

Sandakan to Sinclair, OUT, a fantastic outfield catch to finish off. This is the googly from Sandakan, who pitches it a bit short as he bowls flat. Sinclair gets low and tries to sweep this for six against the turn, but can't get a lot of elevation. Pathum Nissanka at deep square leg runs across to take an excellent catch above his head, giving Sandakan his third

Sandakan to Edwards, 1 run, this is a full toss at about shin-height, which Fidel bashes to long off without a lot of power

Sandakan to Edwards, no run, tossed up, pitching on off and straightening. Defended by Fidel

Fidel Edwards is in at No. 11

Sandakan to McCoy, OUT, gets him first ball. This is fired in flat again, and slides on with the arm. Obed comes down the track but doesn't get anywhere near the pitch of the ball. He swings hard across the line, but the ball stays low and on course for the off stump, which it rattles.

Sandakan is in to bowl his last over

END OF OVER:

Perera to McCoy, 1 run, another powerful shot to long off, but Bandara manages to make the stop this time. McCoy's on strike next over though

Perera to McCoy, FOUR, another four, and this time it's some terrible fielding that allows it. Another fullish ball that McCoy smokes to long off, where Ashen Bandara should have cut it off, but lets it slip through his fingers and into the boundary
