Overs6.5

Score22 - 1

Jayden Seales to Kamindu Mendis, OUT! TAKEN! Sri Lanka lose their first wicket, and it's Jayden Seales who finds the breakthrough. The short-ball plan has worked for the Windies. Seales yet again bashes it hard on the length to generate some bounce off the track, angling in, around middle. Kamindu Mendis looks to heave it away, over mid-wicket, but ends up miscuing it off the top edge. The ball balloons toward the deep fine leg region. However, the backward square leg fielder moves to his left, but the keeper, Shai Hope, calls for it, runs a long way backwards and to his right and pouches the catch excellently. Sri Lanka are 22/1 now.

Matthew Forde is struggling with the heat, it seems. He is taking a moment under the shade near the ropes as the physio comes to him. Forde asks him to take off the compression vest to get some relief. We are good to go again.

Overs1.3

Score0 - 0

Matthew Forde to Kamindu Mendis, Huge appeal, but nothing from the umpire. Good length, outside off, shaping in. Kamindu Mendis looks to block it but misses and gets hit on the pads. A massive shout for LBW, but the umpire shakes his head. Shai Hope has a chat with his bowler and signals that the impact might have been just outside off and opts against the review.
