Roach to Dinusha, out Lbw!! Sonal Dinusha has been trapped in front. He ponders about it and eventually takes the review. Impact doesn't matter as he didn't play a shot. Was a back of a length delivery in the channel, skidded through after landing. A misjudgement from Dinusha as he thought that like the previous three deliveries this one will also shape away but it didn't and continued coming in with the natural round the wicket angle. He lifts his bat to let it through but is struck on the pads. Ball-tracking comes into play and reveals that hitting is umpire's call - it would have crashed into the top of off. Brilliant setup from Roach. He was taking away the deliveries from the southpaw but got one to seam back in nicely to catch him off-guard. Is this the opening West Indies needed?
