Jayden Seales to Milan Rathnayake, out Milan Rathnayake Run Out!! 120.7kph, off-speed short of length delivery. Milan Rathnayake tries the premeditated reverse-scoop and misses.

Milan Rathnayake run out (Shai Hope/Jayden Seales) 0(1)

Jayden Seales to Wanindu Hasaranga, out Caught by Sherfane Rutherford!! 131.1kph, banged in short by Seales, Hasaranga takes his eyes off the ball as he looks to scoop-pull it to fine leg. Hits him high on the bat and goes a lot squarer. Rutherford comes in from deep backward square leg to gobble it up. Wanindu Hasaranga c Sherfane Rutherford b Jayden Seales 7(4) [4s-1]

Matthew Forde to Charith Asalanka, out Caught by Jayden Seales!! Gone this time! Low full toss, Asalanka doesn't generate enough power as he lofts and picks out long-on where Seales takes a safe catch. Charith Asalanka c Jayden Seales b Matthew Forde 45(44) [4s-3 6s-1]

Roston Chase to Pavan Rathnayake, out Caught by Jayden Seales!! 93.4kph, full delivery around off. It's in the slot and Rathnayake decides to play the big shot. He gets down to slogsweep but hits it straighter than he would have liked as the bat turns at the point of impact. Seales moves to his right at long-on and completes the catch. Pavan Rathnayake c Jayden Seales b Roston Chase 24(38) [6s-1]

Roston Chase to Pathum Nissanka, out Caught by Shai Hope!! West Indies are celebrating, up goes the finger, Pathum Nissanka stands in disbelief before taking the long walk back. The hosts are cock-a-hoop. Turn and bounce for Chase, Nissanka looks to work it through the leg-side. Too much spin and it goes past the inside edge. The ball pops up and hits the top part of the bat. Shai Hope shows good reflexes. The keeper dives forward right next to the batter to take a good catch. Pathum Nissanka c Shai Hope b Roston Chase 79(103) [4s-9 6s-1]

Matthew Forde to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Alzarri Joseph!! There's the wicket and it's a full-toss that's broken the 2nd wicket partnership - Kusal Mendis will be kicking himself, was there to be put away - but he's attempted a pre-empted lap, the ball catches the top-edge and lobs behind square on the on-side. Alzarri runs to his left from short fine and completes a simple catch. They've taken drinks at the fall of the wicket. Kusal Mendis c Alzarri Joseph b Matthew Forde 72(62) [4s-4 6s-4]

Jayden Seales to Kamindu Mendis, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Jayden Seales strikes early to give the West Indies their first breakthrough! It’s another sharp, short delivery that catches Kamindu Mendis off guard. The batsman tries to commit to the pull shot but gets undone by the bounce, sending the ball off the high part of his bat. It flies high into the air to the right of the wicketkeeper, but Shai Hope reads it beautifully, covering the ground quickly to his right to secure a fantastic catch. Kamindu Mendis c Shai Hope b Jayden Seales 12(21) [4s-1 6s-1]

Charith Asalanka to Jayden Seales, out Caught by Janith Liyanage!! Sri Lanka win by 41 runs! 74.7kph, Jayden Seales comes down the track to loft. He's nowhere close to the pitch of the delivery and outside-edges it towards backward point. Janith Liyanage comes in and takes the catch comfortably. Jayden Seales c Janith Liyanage b Charith Asalanka 2(6)

Dushmantha Chameera to Matthew Forde, out Bowled!! Fourth wicket for Chameera! 137kph, he nails the yorker from round the wicket. Forde walks across to flick and misses it altogether. The ball goes between his legs, no bat involved and Forde hears the death rattle. The ball crashed into the base of the off-stump. Matthew Forde b Dushmantha Chameera 15(26) [4s-1]

Dushmantha Chameera to Alzarri Joseph, out Bowled!! Timber! 139.8kph, full and straight, attacking the stumps. Alzarri Joseph walks out of his crease to try and flick. Misses and the ball goes through the bat-pad gap before disturbing the sticks. West Indies lose their eighth wicket. Alzarri Joseph b Dushmantha Chameera 0(2)

Dushmantha Chameera to Roston Chase, out Bowled!! Bowled him! 143.3kph, pacy length ball, Chase clears his front leg to hoick it across the line and misses it altogether. The ball beats the inside edge and crashes into the stumps. Chameera is delighted with that wicket. Replays show that the ball tailed in. Reverse swing! Roston Chase b Dushmantha Chameera 33(46) [4s-3]

Maheesh Theekshana to Gudakesh Motie, out Caught by Milan Rathnayake!! Gone this time! Full ball from round the wicket and Motie decides to loft it as he swings hard. Ends up slicing the loft and Milan Rathnayake moves to his right at long-off to take the catch. Gudakesh Motie c Milan Rathnayake b Maheesh Theekshana 22(30) [4s-3]

Dushmantha Chameera to Shai Hope, out Caught by Milan Rathnayake!! That could be the decisive blow for Sri Lanka - slower short ball outside off, was bowled into the pitch and looked like it stopped onto the batter. Hope was committed to the shot, ended up stabbing at that and lobbed a simple catch to Milan at backward point. Shai Hope c Milan Rathnayake b Dushmantha Chameera 56(66) [4s-2 6s-2]

Wanindu Hasaranga to Sherfane Rutherford, out Lbw!! Sherfane Rutherford has been given OUT LBW now and he's reviewed it. Spun back in from a length and beat him on the inside edge, but was it heading down leg? Doesn't look so, no bat and the impact is in front of middle. Struck on the knee-roll and it's crashing into the top of leg-stump - three reds and the on-field call stays - Sherfane Rutherford is OUT. Sherfane Rutherford lbw b Wanindu Hasaranga 5(12)

Asitha Fernando to Keacy Carty, out Caught by Kamindu Mendis!! Oh! That's an absolute ripper from Kamindu and the partnership has been broken. Keacy Carty would've thought of a boundary once he played the flick, but this is an absolute corker from Kamindu - throws himself to his right, went with one hand and plucked an absolute blinder. The ball was travelling and he had very little reactioon time, that makes the catch even better. Was a leg-stump half-volley and Carty flicked it nonchalantly, couldn't keep it down, but it needed something outstanding. Keacy Carty c Kamindu Mendis b Asitha Fernando 27(37) [4s-1], ken.

Maheesh Theekshana to Justin Greaves, out Bowled!! Maheesh Theekshana shatters the stumps! Justin Greaves backs away to give himself too much room but completely misses a shortish delivery aimed at middle and leg. He was looking to make room and cut. The ball crashes straight into the leg-stump, sending the bails flying as a pumped-up Theekshana fires his fist into the air to celebrate the breakthrough. Justin Greaves b Maheesh Theekshana 45(38) [4s-5 6s-1]

Dushmantha Chameera to John Campbell, out John Campbell Run Out!! An absolute piece of magic in the field gives Sri Lanka their first breakthrough! John Campbell pushed a length delivery to the right of mid-on and called early for a sharp single. However, Janith Liyanage sprinted in brilliantly, swooped on the ball one-handed, and fired a throw into the non-striker's end to catch Campbell well short of his crease. John Campbell run out (Janith Liyanage) 17(14) [4s-2 6s-1]
