Pathum Nissanka 73(148)
48.2
Permaul to Nissanka, out Lbw!! Nissanka is given out lbw and off he goes. He has a chat with Mathews and then walks off. After the last one spun and bounced, this is the arm-ball, darted in quickly and Nissanka completely played down the wrong line, it struck him low on the pads right in front and umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge took his time before raising the finger. Pretty adjacent that and West Indies' good morning continues. Would've hit middle as the replays show. Nissanka lbw b Permaul 73(148) [4s-5 6s-1]

Nothing on UltraEdge when the ball goes past the bat. And the impact is on leg, but it's missing the leg-stump by a big margin. Too high and West Indies have lost a review.

1.1
Holder to Nissanka, FOUR, lovely drive that! A half-volley by Holder and Nissanka has played a superb off-drive, presenting the full face of the bat. Holder tries to stop it with his left foot, but it was placed far away from his reach. That boundary shall give him some confidence
0.5
Roach to Nissanka, 1 run, a misfield at cover-point and Nissanka is off the mark. Was a full length delivery around off and Nissanka sliced it to cover-point. Nissanka called for it, but a direct-hit at the bowler's end, could have had him in trouble. That run off a misfield could have been costly
