J Carter to Senanayake, FOUR, remember, this lad can bat. He's no mug with the bat. Full and in the slot, Senanayake doesn't try to over-hit the ball, just lofts it back over the bowler's head and it runs away for four
20.3 -

Holder to Dilshan, FOUR, fifty for Dilshan, his 46th in ODIs. Short and asking for trouble, Dilshan has no problems pulling the ball today and he sends it through backward square leg for four more. He gets a good round of applause from his team-mates and the dressing room
8.5 -
Jerome Taylor to Dilshan, FOUR, tickled fine and I can't se fine leg. Short of a length delivery down the leg-side, Dilshan waits for the ball and glances it to the fine leg boundary

A Russell to Dilshan, FOUR, this is a top edge and fine leg is inside the ring. You can't bowl a short ball with no one at fine leg. Dilshan goes for the pull, gets a thick edge and it almost goes all the way
2.1 -
Holder to Dilshan, FOUR, poor start from the West Indies skipper and he knows that he's bowled a freebie. Full and down the leg-side, with fine leg inside the ring, Dilshan glances it fine and beats the man at 45

Jerome Taylor to K Perera, FOUR, in the air and Perera gets away with it. Johnson Charles doesn't even get a hand on it, probably a taller fielder could have easily taken that. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Perera slaps it hard, the fielder jumps high at cover, but misses it
0.2 -
Jerome Taylor to K Perera, FOUR, that's just a punch down the ground, he jammed the bat hurriedly as this full ball swung back very late, mid-on was very square and even though it went uppishly, the ball safely escaped for four
24.5 -
Charles to A Mendis, SIX, in the airrrrrr and that's gone all the way. Ajantha Mendis, you beauty! What a knock under pressure. Can't bowl length balls at this stage Charles, Mendis goes deep in the crease and across the stumps as well, throws everything at it and slogs really hard, the ball went high up in the air and cleared the long-on boundary
4.4 -
A Russell to Dilshan, SIX, this is a stunning hit. Dilshan is giving Russell a taste of his own medicine. Russell tries another bumper, Dilshan rocks back, swivels and nails the pull shot to perfection. Already 18 runs off this over, with 2 more balls to go. Oh no! Russell slipped and went down on the ground after delivering the ball
4.3 -
A Russell to Dilshan, SIX, the Dilscoop from Dilshan. Amazing how he executes it to perfection. It was a short of length delivery on the off stump, Dilshan gets down on one knee and scoops it over the man at short fine leg, this time he clears the rope

J Carter to Malinga, out Lbw!! What a turnaround this is! Carter is on a hat-trick now. Nothing but a good length delivery from Carter, Malinga missed the line completely, in fact he played outside the line as he tried to defend. The ball hit him in line with leg and it was crashing into the leg stump according to Hawk-Eye. The umpire immediately raised his finger, but Malinga reviewed, only for the on-field call to be proven right. Malinga lbw b J Carter 0(1)

J Carter to Senanayake, out Bowled!! That's gone through the gate. This is great bowling from Carter. Maiden ODI wicket for him. He shaped the previous one away from the right-hander and then shapes it back into him. Senanayake completely foxed. He was lazy in his attempted push down the ground and the ball took the inside edge before crashing into the middle stump. Captain Jason Holder is elated. Senanayake b J Carter 7(13) [4s-1]
19.0 -
Narine to Gunathilaka, out Bowled!! I told you Narine is a handy bowler to have when bowling to the lower-order. Sri Lanka's inexperience is hurting them badly. Once again the quicker delivery from Narine, Gunathilaka plays inside the line as he tries to defend, misses and the ball hits the off stump. What an over from Narine, just 1 run conceded and 3 wickets in it. Gunathilaka b Narine 12(18) [4s-1]
18.3 -
Narine to Jayasuriya, out Bowled!! This is surely not over folks! The West Indies are back in it big time. When Narine gets one, he tends to get two, three quickly. The quicker delivery on the stumps, it was the carrom-ball as well, Jayasuriya was late on the dab and the ball crashed into the off stump. Jayasuriya b Narine 0(2)
18.1 -
Narine to Siriwardana, out Caught by Brathwaite!! Is there a twist in the tale? Flighted delivery on the leg stump, Siriwardana advances and looks to loft, but doesn't get the height, mid-on moves to his left and takes a comfortable catch. Siriwardana c Brathwaite b Narine 7(8)
15.4 -
Jerome Taylor to Mathews, out Caught by J Carter!! West Indies are still in this game. Short delivery just outside off stump, Mathews steps out and looks to slap hard over cover, gets a thick outside edge, third man dives forward and takes a good low catch. Sri Lanka are 120/4. Mathews c J Carter b Jerome Taylor 13(17) [4s-1]
12.5 -
Brathwaite to Dilshan, out Caught by Ramdin!! Second wicket for Brathwaite. Nothing but a short of length delivery outside off stump, Dilshan tries to run it down to third man, it was too close to the body and edges it to the keeper. End of a fine knock from the Sri Lankan opener. Dilshan c Ramdin b Brathwaite 59(32) [4s-6 6s-3]
10.2 -
Brathwaite to Thirimanne, out Caught by Ramdin!! Maiden ODI wicket for Brathwaite. Slower delivery angled across the left-hander, Thirimanne goes for the drive, plays away from the body and gets a thick edge, which is easily held by the keeper. Thirimanne c Ramdin b Brathwaite 17(20) [4s-2]

K Perera run out (J Carter) 14(16) [4s-2]
