Oh dear... tea pots are boiling and Alzarri Joseph is about to explode. On a length, outside off, Mendis drove it towards cover, straight to the fielder but Amir Jangoo, despite getting across to his left, fumbled and let it through. Two runs taken and Alzarri furiously shakes his head.

But Shamar Joseph hares across to his right from mid on and dives full stretch to stop the ball. Just a single.

A good bouncer, around off, with the speed gun showing just under 147 kph, Lahiru Udara ducks.

Misfield from Keemo Paul. Full and straight, Udara works it straight to Paul at short mid-wicket who takes his eyes off the ball and lets it through. Should have been a dot ball but it results in 3 runs as the fielder has to go all the way to the boundary to stop that. 

On a length, outside off, dabbed down the pitch.

FOUR! Well played, but a slight release of pressure from the new bowler. A short ball, around off, Lahiru Udara gets outside the line and pull-helps it behind square leg for a boundary. That's 5 in a score of 26.

FOUR! SUBLIME! Overpitched, outside off, Lahiru Udara leans and drives it to the right of mid off. Races to the fence.

WEST INDIES LOSE A REVIEW. A good ball though and not a bad call to review. Excellent decision from umpire Paul Reiffel first up. On a good length, outside off, Lahiru Udara stood back in his crease and looked to flick it to the leg side but the ball came back in a long way and beat the bat. He got hit on the pads and that prompted a massive appeal for LBW. Reiffel shook his head and the bowler coaxed Chase into taking the review. Ball Tracking projected it to be bouncing over the top of the stumps.

Landed outside off, a touch short, Udara slashes but misses.

On a length, outside off, steered towards backward point.

FOUR! Slapped away. Short and wide outside off, Lahiru Udara slashes it and gets it above a leaping Roston Chase at point. There is a cry from the bowler, but hard to judge whether it is of anguish for the catch not being taken, as in, evading the fielder, or because it was a bad ball.

Around off, now this one stays low, nudged to the leg side.

Landed outside off, punched towards cover-point.

On a good length, outside off, angling in, Lahiru Udara nudges it through square leg for a couple.

On a good length, outside off, nipping back in again, Udara hops and works it towards mid on for a single.

OUT! CAUGHT! Shamar has 2 and shall we say, both have come off loose deliveries! Just imagine this. You are a batter. That too, from the subcontinent. You get a half volley and that too, on the pads. It is offering you a buffet. Chandimal's eyes light up on seeing that buffet ball and he gets across a touch to flick it away, but dear me, finds the man stationed at short mid-wicket positioned just for that stroke! It is Brandon King once again, who makes no mistake, picking up his second catch of the match as well. Cannot call this an unlucky dismissal. This is no significant contribution from the surface. Chandimal knew that there was a man stationed for an aerial flick, but he did not mind to keep the ball down. Should have done better. Back to the pavilion now. SRI LANKA ARE 25/2!

Landed outside off, let through.

Down the leg side, helped behind square leg for a single.

OUT! CAUGHT! Wow, the first wicket does fall early but it is not to a good ball. In fact, it is nothing more than a loosener. Short and wide outside off, there to be hit, Nishan Madushka rocks back and slaps it really hard. But it is straight to point, where Brandon King accepts the gift with glee!

On a good length again, pushed into the covers.

Massive LBW shout, turned down. Impact well outside off. Full, well outside off, Chandimal gets a good stride in to defend but the ball seams back in a long way and catches him on the pads. However, he does well to get himself outside the line of off stump and that saves him.

Wide outside off, moving away, Lahiru shoulders arms.

Again, a pretty wide line outside off, easier leave for LU.

Full and straight, hint of inswing, Lahiru Udara looks to flick but misses out, getting a thick inside edge onto his pads.

On a good length, outside off, Udara punches it through the covers for a single to get off the mark. Both the openers are underway now.

Fuller, outside off, Nishan Madushka stays back, pushes it with soft hands through the covers and scampers through for a run.

Dangerous ploy. Shamar keeps it full and straight but Lahiru, for some reason, chooses to play back to this ball, when he should have been playing forward. The ball pitches and skids through and luckily for the batter, he is able to get his bat down in time to work it to the leg side.

On a good length, around off, LU stays back and punches it back to the bowler.

EDGED, FOUR! Fortuitous for the batter. Full and wide outside off, Lahiru Udara throws his bat at it and gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies through the slips, just to the right of the diving third and races to the deep third fence.

Outswing straightaway. Full and outside off, plenty of away shape, Nishan Madushka shoulders arms.
