- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 Cleans him up! This was full and straight, and little quicker. King plants a big front foot outside off and looks to sweep this to the big gap behind square leg, but he shows almost all three stumps and that's a recipe for disaster against Theekshana, as this clatters into middle 36/111.4 traps him in front! This looked good at first glance, but West Indies review. This was slightly short of a good length, pitching on middle and off and hitting on around leg. There was not much movement and the umpire felt this was clipping leg, and he's proved right. Umpire's Call on the wickets hitting, and West Indies are in some trouble here. 62/48.1 Nicks behind! Big appeal for caught behind! Given not out though. Sri Lanka however are confident and go for the review. This was a good length outside off, and zips past Brooks' outside edge. And yes, there is a spike on Ultra Edge. 42/210.1 And Theekshana has his third! This was the carrom ball that skids through off a good length, Hope is caught in the crease and he's rapped plumb in front of the back pad. They wisely decide not to review 55/316.5 holes out to deep mid wicket off a long hop! Dragged down on middle and leg stump and Pooran could have hit this anywhere. Instead, he is slightly rushed on the pull and ends up arrowing it straight down deep mid wicket's throat. West Indies slide further into trouble! 81/548.1 And the penalty won't matter! Carty falls at the finish line, but he's done well to get his side this far. This was short, pace-off and Carty makes room to go over extra cover. Ends up getting a top edge all the way down to long-off, who makes sure that this time the catch is taken 243/1027.4 cleans him up! Length delivery angled into off stump. Mayers, it seems, plays the trajectory instead of playing the length. Goes back rather than forward and tries to cut it away. Because the ball is not as short, it skids through, goes past the bat and kisses the outside of off stump! 122/628.1 huge appeal and given! Googly on a full length on off stump and Chase has absolutely no clue about this one. Plonks his front foot and then plays outside the line as the ball breezes past the inside edge and pins him on the pads. The umpire raises his finger immediately but Chase wants to have another look. The only thing that could save Chase is if this has spun too much. It has spun a great deal but not enough to miss the stumps. Umpire's Call with the ball clipping top of leg and Chase has to go! 123/734.4 Who needs fielders! Theekshana castles another! This was yet another wicket to wicket carrom ball, that pitches and just nips away a touch, past Shepherd's forward defence and clatters into middle and off 155/844.2 Cleans him up! Sinclair has been frequently coming down the track, but this time the yorker is well directed and the batter just can't get the bat down in time 218/9Extras13 (lb 5, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL243 all out (48.1 Overs, RR: 5.04)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (Brandon King, 6.2 ov), 2-42 (Shamarh Brooks, 8.1 ov), 3-55 (Shai Hope, 10.1 ov), 4-62 (Johnson Charles, 11.4 ov), 5-81 (Nicholas Pooran, 16.5 ov), 6-122 (Kyle Mayers, 27.4 ov), 7-123 (Roston Chase, 28.1 ov), 8-155 (Romario Shepherd, 34.4 ov), 9-218 (Kevin Sinclair, 44.2 ov), 10-243 (Keacy Carty, 48.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR33.3 And finally they hold on to one! Sinclair celebrates with an extravagant forward summersault, followed by a fist pump. This was on a length, in the slot and Nissanka clobbers the slog sweep. But not well enough to beat the man at deep midwicket 190/136.5 Huge appeal for leg before and given! Dimuth reviews straight away. This looked to have pitched in on leg and straightened. Hits the batter on the back pad just above knee roll. And yes, that's three reds.
