    4.2 Holder responds strongly and knocks over Nissanka. The batter steps away outside leg, Holder chases him with an inducker, which smacks the pad and rolls back onto the stumps. Nissanka is cramped for room and does not make the contact he was looking for. The Sabina Park gets behind Holder and WI 43/1
    7.4 Shamar draws the leading edge. Chase runs back from point and snags the catch. In-between length from Shamar at 142ks. Back of a length, angling in and swerving away around off stump. Mendis aims leg side, ends up chipping it over point. Chase judges it well. Key wicket for WI 65/4
    4.3 Holder spins around for an lbw appeal. He thinks he has Croospulle. Not given out lbw on the field. WI call for a review of the on-field not-out decision. Another full inducker from Holder, Croospulle falls over and is thumped on the front pad below the knee-roll in line with middle. No inside edge involved. Is this hitting leg stump? Yep, crashing into leg stump. Holder knew it. Croospulle gone for a duck. Holder goes bang bang after a bright start from SL 43/2
    5.3 What a catch from Hetmyer! He makes it look ridiculously easy and has the Sabina Park cheering for him. He goes for the catch with both hands at the edge of the square-leg boundary. He leaps and takes the overhead catch with both hands, but the momentum takes him beyond the boundary. He is aware of it. He knocks the ball into the field of play. Then pops back in and makes contact with it inside the field of play. Takes it with both hands inside the field of play. Rathnayake has to go. He had made room by stepping away outside leg. Shamar chased him with a shortish ball and then it was a Hetmyer special 49/3
    19.4 hard-length into the pitch, discomfits Mendis, who splices a pull over midwicket. Mendis hares back for the double and the strike, but he seems to be in trouble. Accurate throw from Forde. Hope gathers the throw and breaks the bails to catch Mendis short of his crease 144/8
    15.4 Forde moves across to his left from point and snaffles it! Shanaka charges at Chase. The spinner holds this back and shifts his line wider of off from round the stumps. On a length and darted across off. Shanaka has a roundhouse swipe to leg and ends up popping a catch up to point 124/5
    17.4 short and bursts up off the deck outside off. Sharp pace and sharper bounce from Shamar. Hasaranga stays leg-side of the ball and has a waft at it. Hope catches the outside edge. Shamar leaps for joy. Hasaranga will have a bigger job to do with the ball for SL later in the night 138/6
    18.3 another legcutter, on a length and outside off. Does not come onto the bat. Theekshana has a hoick at it and holes out to long-on. Regulation catch for Powell. Holder puts his hand up and celebrates with Sabina Park 139/7
    19.6 Mendis manufactures swinging room outside leg. Shamar chases Malinga with a yorker, squeezed down to long-on. Malinga goes for the second as it's the last ball. He's caught well short at the striker's end 147/9

    6.2 Hasaranga strikes, bowling King with a wrong'un through the gate. On a good length and breaks into middle from over the wicket. King swings and misses it altogether. The ball crashes into middle. King's knock has been cut short on 37 67/1

    8.6 Hasaranga silences Sabina Park with the dismissal of Hetmyer! Pushed through flat and full on middle, Hetmyer brings out the slog-sweep once again, this time he can't clear deep midwicket. Picks out Rathnayake. Hasaranga's double-strike gives SL some hope 95/2

    16.4 six and out! Chase shuffles across for the scoop. Malinga gets a yorker tail into middle. The middle stump is knocked back. Malinga ends Chase's tortured stay at the crease. Gone for 16 off 26 balls. The crowd cheers the wicket because they know local boy Powell is in next 128/3
