Theekshana to Brandon King, no run
Brandon King and Lewis are at the crease. Brandon King is on strike. Theekshana will open the attack
Welcome back.. The new ball will be the key for both teams. If West Indies can get off to a flier then it will make it easier for them in the middle overs. But Sri Lanka have plenty of spinners and Aslanka has taken it upon himself to start things off.
Gudakesh Motie: It is a good score. If we get a good start then we can chase it down. It (the pitch) played a bit different; there was more for the bowlers and a little bit of more turn. I could have done better, get a few wickets. It is quite helpful for the spinners but you still have to bowl in the right areas.

Alzarri Joseph to Kamindu Mendis, leg byes, 1 run, WI review for a lbw! Was a very full ball around the leg-stump, Kamindu Mendis looked to whip it across but missed to get hit on the boots. Time for the replays. UltraEdge shows a flat line so no bat involved. Over to ball-tracking and impact is outside leg. That's the end of the story. WI lose both their reviews
WI review for a lbw!
