Shepherd to Theekshana, FOUR, oh what a finish from Theekshana. Short and sat up to be slapped, Theekshana reached out and hit it over extra-cover off the back foot and West Indies need 180
19.5
Shepherd to Wickramasinghe, out Hasaranga Run Out!! Wickramasinghe swung and missd at this short of length delivery. Hasaranga tried to steal a bye but Shai Hope hit the bulls eye with the throw. Under-armed straight onto the stumps to catch Hasaranga well short. Hasaranga run out (Shai Hope) 1(1)

Shepherd to Wickramasinghe, no run, short delivery on the stumps, Wickramasinghe looks to pull and misses
19.2
Shepherd to Rajapaksa, out Caught by Motie!! Another outstanding catch. Slower delivery on the stumps, Rajapaksa looks to pull the back of the hand slower ball, mistimes it high, man running in had to dive and he got low enough to take an excellent catch. Looks clean and given. Rajapaksa c Motie b Shepherd 17(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

13.4
Shepherd to Kamindu Mendis, 1 run, pace off and short, pulled to deep backward square leg and the promise continues from Kamindu Mendis. He revived them in Tests, now he's revived now them in T20Is too. Records his 2nd T20I fifty. Good round of applause from the crowd

5.6
Shepherd to Kamindu Mendis, 1 run, slower full delivery, Kamindu drives wide of mid-off for a brisk run
5.5
Shepherd to Kamindu Mendis, FOUR, another short delivery dished out with no field in place. Just the lone man at deep backward square leg so Kamindu hits it nicely in front of square to power it away to the mid-wicket fence
5.4
Shepherd to Kamindu Mendis, no run, round the wicket and angling in. Kamindu knocks it to mid-wicket
5.3
Shepherd to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, the cut shot but there is a man at deep point
5.2
Shepherd to Kamindu Mendis, 1 run, short of length delivery, Kamindu guides it to deep backward point
5.1
Shepherd to Kamindu Mendis, FOUR, West Indies have lost the plot in the last 5 odd minutes! They had Sri Lanka in a bit of bother but the bowling that followed wasn't smart. Another short delivery that didn't have purpose. With fine leg up and the ball not rising, Kamindu could easily swivel and pull behind square for four
2.6
Shepherd to Kusal Perera, FOUR, now he nails the cut/back foot punch with an open bat face. Short of a length delivery angling in, brilliantly timed through cover-point. First real convincing shot from Sri Lanka
2.5
Shepherd to Kusal Perera, 2 runs, oh amost chops on first ball! Short of a length delivery, Perera looks to cut, luckily the edge escapes past the stumps to fine leg
2.4
Shepherd to Nissanka, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Edged and straight to the keeper. Nissanka throws his head back and walks off. The idea was to cut the ball on the off-side. He didn't move away like last ball but seemed like the balance wasn't great. Ball rose from short of length with some away swing and took the toe end of bat for a regulation take. Big early blow for Sri Lanka. Nissanka c Shai Hope b Shepherd 11(10) [4s-2]
2.3
Shepherd to Nissanka, FOUR, this is another ugly four but Nissanka won't mind one bit! Ball comes back in sharply from short of length, Nissanka thought of backing away for the cut but the ball kept following him, awkwardly fends at the ball and the edge escapes to the right of short fine leg
2.2
Shepherd to Nissanka, FOUR, top edgeee and it flies over the keeper. Short delivery, Nissanka looks to pull, rushed on the shot by bounce, was also cramped for room, edge rolls for four
2.1
Shepherd to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, to deep square leg,
