SL vs WI Live Cricket Score

10.2 OUT! Soft dismissal for Avishka Fernando! This wicket has come against the run of play. Joseph has the breakthrough albeit with a very ordinary delivery. He slips a fuller length delivery down the leg side, Avishka tries to flick but it takes a feather of his bat and goes behind. Shai Hope catches the ball, they appeal and the umpire raises his finger after thinking for a while. There is the option to take the DRS but Fernando knows that he has hit it and is honest enough to walk back. 60/1

19.1 OUT! Caught and bowled! The pitch doing its trick. Chase serves a loopy off spinner on middle and it holds up a bit off the surface, Karunaratne goes back to play at it but pushes it a bit early. Ends up chipping it off the inner portion of the bat towards the bowler who reacts late but does well to catch it with a forward dive. Dimuth returns and this is turning out to be a good passage of play for West Indies. 88/2

31.3 OUT! Pollard strikes! He was threatening to remove Mendis in his previous over and has done it in this one. Clever change in pace. It's slower and on a length outside off, Perera bends his back knee and tries to heave it across the line. But his swing of the bat is early and the ball arrives late. It clips the outside half of his willow and flies behind. Shai Hope takes a simple catch and the 89-run stand is broken! 177/3

32.2 OUT! Kusal Mendis is bounced out! Two new batsmen in the middle now for Sri Lanka and they will have to rebuild again. Joseph digs it in around off, Mendis shapes up for the pull shot but it bounces on his bat and he ends up mistiming it in the air towards mid-wicket. Pollard in the vicinity reacts quickly to his right, runs a bit and completes the catch with a tumble. A fine knock by Mendis but his team needed him to last the distance on this tricky surface. 185/4

38.1 OUT! Salute time! This is a sight to savour for any bowler. Cottrell steams in from 'round the wicket and dishes out a a length delivery around off. It lands and straightens as Mathews tries to push it through the line. He fails to put bat on ball and it goes on to hit the top of off stump. Big wicket for West Indies at this stage of the match! 214/5

46.3 OUT! Dhananjaya holes out but he has done his job! Another slower delivery by Joseph and he has managed to deceive the batsman. He slants in a fuller length ball on middle, de Silva tries to heave it into the stand at mid-wicket but doesn't get his shot away from the middle of the bat. It flies off the inside half and Kieron Pollard takes the simplest of catches at deep mid-wicket. 278/6

48.3 OUT! Thisara departs! Joseph takes his fourth wicket. Serves a slower full ball outside off, Perera goes hard at it but fails to find the middle of his bat. It flies towards covers and Rovman Powell (sub) takes the skier safely. 293/7

49.4 OUT! Stumps shattered! Once again Hasaranga makes an early move inside the crease as he shuffles across the stumps. This time Holder holds his nerves and serves a yorker in the line of the stumps. Hasaranga swings and misses to find his stumps rattled. A bright little cameo by him. 306/8

50 OUT! A wicket off the final ball. A low full toss on off, Udana aims to go downtown and clear long off but his shot has more elevation than distance. Pollard in the deep takes it very calmly. SRI LANKA ARE ALL OUT FOR 307! 307/10

49.5 OUT! Sandakan is run out! Short in length around off, Lakshan swings his bat but misses. They attempt to steal a bye and the keeper has tossed the ball towards the bowler. Holder collects it and breaks the stumps as Sandakan tries to get in. They appeal, it's referred upstairs and Sandakan is found short in the replays. 306/9

30.3 OUT! In the air... taken! Excellent bowling change from the Lankan skipper. They needed a wicket and Udana provides it. A lovely slower one on middle, Hope is a touch early in his flick shot. Maybe the ball just came off slow from the surface and hence, the leading edge was taken. It lobs towards short mid-wicket where Mendis takes a dolly. A good innings from Hope comes to an end. Is this the opening Sri Lanka needed? 171/2

18.3 OUT! BOWLED! Foxed by the googly. It has taken 111 balls but Sri Lanka have their first breakthrough. The wrong 'un, outside off, Ambris goes back and looks to punch it through the off side. Misses, as the ball spins back in sharply, going between bat and pad to hit the timber. Nelson strikes. But Ambris has done his job. Can the rest build on this platform? 197 more needed from 189 balls. 111/1

39.3 OUT! Straight to the man! Mathews has got the well-set Pooran! Another twist in this game. It is a slower one around off, Pooran hits it uppishly but straight to the man at covers. Shanaka, the substitute, makes no mistake. Pooran dismisses just after he gets to his fifty. Lanka back in the game. 90 needed in 63. 218/3

45.2 OUT! CAUGHT! A good catch by Udana and skipper Kieron Pollard has to walk back. Length ball on middle, Pollard looks to pull but gets a top edge on this one. The ball goes high in the air and Udana calls for it. He rushes in from mid on and just about gets under the ball near the pitch as it comes down. Udana pouches the ball diving forward and he has dismissed the West Indian skipper. Fabian Allen will be the man who has come in to replace his skipper. 253/5

43.4 OUT! Run Out! Pollard is lucky to survive but Bravo is not. Coming to this action-packed delivery - The West Indian skipper looks to defend by pressing forward but misses and gets hit on the pads. The Sri Lankan players go up in a huge appeal but the umpire turns it down. The Sri Lankan players think they have their man. The ball meanwhile goes to the leg side. Bravo comes out looking to steal a leg bye but Pollard sends him back. Kusal Perera gets to the ball and sends the throw at the bowler's end where Dimuth Karunaratne whips the bails off. Darren Bravo is found short and is walking off after a brief chat with Pollard. Pollard is then having a word with the umpire and so are the Sri Lankan players. The home team wants to refer the lbw decision as they think they have the back of Pollard. Kieron feels that the time is up to take the DRS. The umpire clears the air and allows them to take the review. Ball Tracker rolls in and it shows that the pitching is in line, the impact is umpire's call and the ball is clipping the leg pole. Sri Lanka don't lose their review but Pollard survives. Time for the T.V. umpire to check Bravo's run out and he is short of his crease. 240/4

47.1 OUT! Caught! Holder holes out and once again it is Mathews who has done the damage. Another slower ball and that means another wicket for Mathews. Slower ball bowled on the shorter side of the pitch. Holder looks to pull but misreads the pace of the ball. He ends up hitting it to Kusal Mendis at deep mid-wicket. Perfect start to the over for Sri Lanka, sorry one for West Indies. 275/6

49.2 OUT! Allen holes out! This should be the end of the run chase as the dangerous Allen is out of here. Full on off, Allen heaves it on the leg side, the ball goes very high in the air but this is not a small ground. It goes straight to deep mid-wicket. Kusal Mendis there does not lose the sight of the ball and takes a good catch inside the rope. Mathews has the last laugh and would you believe it, he has a 4-fer. 9 needed off 4 balls now. 299/9

48.2 OUT! Run out! Walsh's dive is not enough to save him but Allen will be on strike. Low full toss on middle and off, Allen hits it to the left of long off. Allen wants to keep the strike so he calls for two straightaway. Substitute, Dasun Shanaka gets to the ball quickly and sends a very good throw at the bowler's end. Thisara Perera whips the bails off as Allen puts in the dive. The umpire goes to the T.V. umpire and replays show Walsh is just short. 287/7

48.4 OUT! Run out! Fuller on off, Allen hits it wide of long off and calls for two straightaway. Wanindu Hasaranga gets to the ball quickly and sends a decent throw to the bowler's end. Thisara collects it and dislodges the bails. Once again the T.V. umpire is called for and once again the batter is found short of his crease. Chase walks back without even facing a ball. 294/8
