  • 49.6

    Sheldon Cottrell to Lahiru Thirimanne. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Hetmyer. Much better from Sri Lanka today, their batting order has gone missing at times during this tournament but today they have shown what they can do. The West Indies weren't at their threatening best with the ball and it will be interesting to see how they fare with bat in hand.

That's a great innings from Fernando, Sri Lanka have been much better today largely thanks to him.

    FOUR! Carlos Brathwaite to Avishka Fernando. Length ball, middle stump on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Finds the gap in the legside and splits the fielders in the deep.

  • 46.4

    Carlos Brathwaite to Avishka Fernando. Full toss, off stump on the front foot pushing, to mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Cottrell. Pushed into the legside and that will be 100 for Fernando, his first for Sri Lanka, what a moment for the young man.

    FOUR! Oshane Thomas to Avishka Fernando. Full toss, middle stump moves in front flick, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs. A full toss and tucked away behind square for four, not a good ball.

  • End of Over 50
    Over 50. 3 runs. Bowler: Angelo Mathews. West Indies: 315/9 (rr 6.30)
  • 49.6

    Angelo Mathews to Sheldon Cottrell. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot driving, to extra cover for no runs, fielded by Vandersay. Well the West Indies fall short in a run chase full of twists and turns. Pooran's innings was fantastic but the big moment was when Fabian Allen was run out. His partnership with Pooran made the game close again and it took a bolt from the blue from Angelo Mathews to eventually remove Pooran. Fernando's innings earlier was also impressive and ultimately set Sri Lanka on their way to a score that was beyond the West Indies. That's it from Durham, join us again tomorrow.

    Oshane Thomas lbw b Lasith Malinga 1 (6)

    OUT! L.B.W. Lasith Malinga to Oshane Thomas. Length ball, down leg side on the front foot flick, hit pad to fourth slip, fielded by Vandersay. Close, Sri Lanka decide to review. Malinga is finding some swing here. I think it's hitting the stumps but it's close to the legside. Here we go, Malinga over the wicket to the left-hander. The ball starts towards the legside, but it's swung back and pitched just in line with leg stump. It's hitting as well and Thomas is gone.

    Nicholas Pooran c Kusal Perera b Angelo Mathews 118 (103)

    OUT! Caught. Angelo Mathews to Nicholas Pooran. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, outside edge in the air uncontrolled to wicketkeeper, by Perera. That's out! Angelo Mathews the hero for Sri Lanka! He hasn't bowled since December 2017 and he's got the big wicket with his very first ball. What a moment to toss the ball to someone out of the blue. Sri Lanka had to find a couple of overs from somewhere and they went for the experience of Mathews and it's paid off. Bowled wide of off stump, Pooran nearly swung himself off his feet and only got a little edge through to the keeper.
