West Indies in serious trouble now. Keacy Carty b Theekshana 6(14) [4s-1]
8.2
Theekshana to Keacy Carty, no run, great decision by umpire Ahsan Raza. Sri Lanka lose a review. Sharp offie and it turns back a long way from outside off, Keacy Carty goes on the back foot to cut, thinking it is there for the cut, the length is short but the turn foils the shot, the back pad just about gets outside off as he misses the shot, Sri Lanka were very confident and reviewed, but Raza is proven right

2.5
Theekshana to Athanaze, out Bowled!! Superb ball and Athanaze is cleaned up. No wonder Theekshana is jumping and punching the air in joy. It's tossed up and drifts into middle, lands on a length and brings Athanaze forward, sharp spin away after that, it rips and goes past the outside edge, hits the top of off-stump. Dream delivery and Athanaze can only hear the sound of timber. Athanaze b Theekshana 1(3)
