Anderson Phillip to Kusal Mendis, out Bowled!! Oh no, Kusal Mendis misses out on a paddle and is knocked over. Maybe got a bottom edge but West Indies will take it. The 143-run stand has finally been broken. The right-hander tries to be funky and goes for the scoop, like he has done on many occasion in this innings, but Phillip keeps it on the stumps and reaps the rewards. 129kph length delivery and Mendis gets a bottom edge onto the stumps. It would have probably gone over the stumps if there was no bat involved. Kusal Mendis b Anderson Phillip 69(115) [4s-8 6s-3]
