- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR21.1 was that a run out chance? Pollard's not happy about this. Possible obstruction of the field here against Gunathilaka. Ok, so here's what happens. It's a length ball that Gunathilaka plays at and it drops right by his feet. But Pathum Nissanka is charging through for the single and is three quarters of the way down the pitch and Danushka turns him back. But in his efforts to get back to the crease himself, Danushka back-heels the ball, and this is the problem. Pollard has seen that there's a run out chance here and gone haring after the ball. Gunathilaka kicking it prevents him from picking it up. Umpire Joel Wilson refers this to the third ump. who very quickly rules that this is an obstruction of the field offence and gives Gunathilaka out. I'm really not convinced that Gunathilaka intentionally kicked that ball. There has to be wilful obstruction for the dismissal to be given. 112/219.2 he's got the breakthrough! With an outstanding return catch. This is another slower one, but much tighter into the stumps, and fulller. Dimuth is through his drive a tad early and hits it a little above head high, just within Pollard's reach, but with some power. Pollard grasps at it and parries it into the air the first time. But then he dives hard to his right and recollects. A wonderful piece of bowling and athleticism to get the breakthrough his team desperately needed. 105/124.5 Nissanka is run out. This was coming. The running has been all over the show in the last few overs. Chandimal pushes this back of a length ball towards mid on and I think calls Nissanka through. The debutant is haring down the pitch and is halfway down before he's turned back. West Indies are all over this. Mid on collects and hands it over to Hosein to take off the bails. There's no chance Nissanka can get back, and the hosts are jubilant. 126/423.3 this is full and on the toes and clipped nicely, but oh, is this a run out? Pollard's brought a lot of drama to this match. Yes, it's out. It's Mathews who goes. He'd whipped it past midwicket and the man in the deep - Jomario Shepherd - had a lot of work to do. Mathews tried to sprint back for three, but Shepherd's throw to Pollard was right over the stumps, and he's taken the bails off with Mathews still 20 centimetres from his crease. 119/331.2 another one goes! It's the experienced Chandimal this time, and he probably could have done better with that. This is flat, shortish and wide, and cut straight to Walsh Jr at backward point, who takes it at about waist-height without having to move at all. 151/547.4 and it's a case of fifty and out for the debutant! Slow short ball, he's slapped it down from high above his head and picked out Hosein at midwicket! 224/937.5 oh easy wicket. He's chipped that straight to Allen at short cover. He came down the wicket, gave a hearty whack but there was a man right there! Allen showed great reflexes to grab it but it was well in his range. 183/639.1 and he's got him! Steps forward and slaps it straight to mid off, where Jason Holder takes a straightforward catch stepping to his left with arms outstretched above his head. After such a strong start, Sri Lanka are wavering now. 189/743.2 shortish ball, plenty of bounce, he's tried to turn it fine and been caught down the leg side! 207/848.6 drops to his knee, lofts that down the ground and Romario Shepherd takes the catch stepping round from mid off! It was a shorter ball, and he's skied it, ending the innings with an over to spare. 232/10Extras13 (lb 5, w 8)TOTAL232 all out (49 Overs, RR: 4.73)Fall of wickets: 1-105 (Dimuth Karunaratne, 19.2 ov), 2-112 (Danushka Gunathilaka, 21.1 ov), 3-119 (Angelo Mathews, 23.3 ov), 4-126 (Pathum Nissanka, 24.5 ov), 5-151 (Dinesh Chandimal, 31.2 ov), 6-183 (Kamindu Mendis, 37.5 ov), 7-189 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 39.1 ov), 8-207 (Dushmantha Chameera, 43.2 ov), 9-224 (Ashen Bandara, 47.4 ov), 10-232 (Nuwan Pradeep, 48.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR28.2 gets the breakthrough finally. That's just Chameera's pace getting SL the first wicket. This is a yorker at 141kph. Perfectly pitched in the blockhole. Lewis, who is standing off to the legside a bit, brings his bat down hurriedly, but can't get it down in time. The ball clatters into the wickets. End of a solid, if unusual, Evin Lewis innings 143/142.6 cleans him up this time! I think that's a slower one, and that's Chameera's pace on the other balls that's created this dismissal. Hope is through the shot early, as this ball pitches full and just outside off stump, coming in with the angle. It goes on to clip the outside of off, and Hope's wonderful innings has to end. I think that ball deviated away off the surface slightly to beat the shot. It was a legcutter. 215/2Extras11 (lb 3, nb 3, w 5)TOTAL236/2 (47 Overs, RR: 5.02)Fall of wickets: 1-143 (Evin Lewis, 28.2 ov), 2-215 (Shai Hope, 42.6 ov)
