- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR29.2 but Mohammed strikes next ball. This is a flat, fast offbreak, which Gunathilaka gets back to and tries to slam through the offside, his century in striking range. He has misjudged the pace and the trajectory though. It goes between bat and pad and pegs back the off stump. A hundred goes begging for Danushka. He's cross, as you'd expect. 150/42.2 back of a length, outside off, and slashed onto his own timbers! Reaching for the stroke with flat feet, lining up the cut, and West Indies strike! 7/16.5 oof, good wheels from Joseph! Tight line, full length, nipping back through the gate at sharp pace, and rattling the stumps! West Indies surge again! 32/28.4 round the wicket, a hard-handed drive, a fat edge to slip, and Holder bags the third wicket! The change of angle does the trick. A bit of flight and grip lures the error. Sri Lanka slide again 50/341.5 pumped into the guts of deep midwicket! Chandimal's vigil is done, Mohammed is bowling a very fine spell here, following the right-hander as he made room to leg, and swatted straight to the fielder 204/637.4 honked up into the clouds, and caught! Whoops, he was nowhere near that one, a skip to the pitch, but the ball stopped before he got there, one hand comes off the bat as long-on steadies himself to pouch a simple steepler 186/549.4 width outside off, flogged on the up to deep cover, and Perera is run out, attempting to keep the strike. Can't argue with that, a fast flat throw undid him, as Hope gathered well 271/849.1 banged in short, and holed out to deep midwicket! The right ball, with the breeze coming across the ground, a swatted pull hangs in the breeze, plops into the fielder's hands, but that ends a very fine cameo 268/7Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL273/8 (50 Overs, RR: 5.46)Did not bat: N PradeepFall of wickets: 1-7 (Dimuth Karunaratne, 2.2 ov), 2-32 (Pathum Nissanka, 6.5 ov), 3-50 (Oshada Fernando, 8.4 ov), 4-150 (Danushka Gunathilaka, 29.2 ov), 5-186 (Ashen Bandara, 37.4 ov), 6-204 (Dinesh Chandimal, 41.5 ov), 7-268 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 49.1 ov), 8-271 (Thisara Perera, 49.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR37.2 down the track and missed by a mile! The end of a tremendous innings, his eyes got a bit big on that occasion, turn past the outside edge and off come the bails 192/138.5 flogged ambitiously on the up, into the covers, and there's a juggle but Hope has holed out! Well now, that hasn't entirely changed the picture, but there are two new men at the crease! 194/241.6 pinged off the pads, high to deep midwicket, and another one goes! Now then, this is just starting to get interesting for West Indies. Their anchors are gone, it may be about the tonkers now... 212/345.5 full length, thumped on the pad, and Pollard is not at the crease! Up goes the finger, as he wings his bat through the line and gets nailed on the shin for his troubles.... there's no inside-edge, and that's nailing leg stump!... there's trouble at t'mill! 233/447.2 holed out to deep midwicket! Oh my, on the toes again, another pick-up, targetting midwicket, but straight down the fielder's throat. It's getting tasty now! 249/5Extras10 (b 1, lb 5, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL274/5 (49.4 Overs, RR: 5.51)Fall of wickets: 1-192 (Evin Lewis, 37.2 ov), 2-194 (Shai Hope, 38.5 ov), 3-212 (Darren Bravo, 41.6 ov), 4-233 (Kieron Pollard, 45.5 ov), 5-249 (Fabian Allen, 47.2 ov)
