Over 21. 1 run. Bowler: Devendra Bishoo. Sri Lanka: 1-65(rr 3.10)

20.6 Devendra Bishoo to Kusal Mendis

Devendra Bishoo to Kusal Mendis. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, to extra cover for no runs. Sri Lanka will be quite happy with their start to the fourth innings. Put away all the loose deliveries, and solid in defence. It still looks a cracking wicket to bat on. Kusal Perera got a pearler from Shannon Gabriel, and Chandimal had to go off through illness. The visitors still have to bat out another four sessions, though. Windies require nine more wickets if the Sri Lankan skipper comes back out to bat. Can they make any more inroads in the evening?

APPEAL! Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Kemar Roach to Angelo Mathews. Seaming in length ball, outside off stump on the back foot defending, hit pad to for no runs, appeal made for L.B.W.

Impact in line, but above the knee on the back pad. HawkEye says it is going over.
