Janith Liyanage, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack
0.6
Asitha Fernando to Brandon King, leg byes, FOUR, more runs for West Indies, came off the pad, but it's four leg-byes - too straight from Asitha, on the pads and past King's attempted flick, runs away fine and past the keeper

0.5

0.4

0.2
Asitha Fernando to Brandon King, no run, short of a good length and holding its line outside off, King covers the line, lifts his bat and lets it go
two slips for Brandon King

We've made quite a few changes to our pre-toss playing XI. Have a look at our expert XI before locking in your final picks.
It's a pleasant day, a dry day with a strong wind. 66m and 74m square boundaries - the cracks are visible and it's a good call to bat first. The pitch is dry, the turn will be slow and dew would be a factor batting second, which will allow the ball to slide through. The new ball would zip through, but batting should become easier after 20 overs, reckons Russel Arnold, in his pitch report
Charith Asalanka - We would have batted as well, but happy to bowl first. It's a big role, the morale is good and I hope to continue. We are going with 3 spinners and one pacers - both Vandersay and hasaranga, the two leg-spinners are playing.
Shai Hope - We will bat first. Just make them take responsibility, the pitch looks similar, but we'll have to assess the conditions well and put up a good score. We've a couple of new faces in the team.
