Dwayne Bravo to Herath, out Herath Run Out!! That's brilliant from Bravo! He slipped in the slower delivery on Herath's pads, Herath was looking to nudge it towards the on-side and missed, they were going for the leg-bye as the ball rolled away towards the off-side. Bravo is quick to swoop on the ball, turns around and makes a direct hit at the bowler's end - all in one motion. Herath was always struggling, we don't even need to go to the third umpire here. Herath run out (Dwayne Bravo) 3(3)

A Russell to Kulasekara, out Bowled!! Russell has a wicket as well! A wild swish from Kulasekara and he loses his leg-stump. On a good length and holding its line around middle, Kulasekara backed away and swung, missed, turned back to watch his stumps in disarray. Kulasekara b A Russell 7(8)

Dwayne Bravo to Mathews, out Caught by Ramdin!! That's a huge blow for Sri Lanka. A fluke wicket - by all accounts, but West Indies and Bravo will not be disappointed. Bravo was attempting a slower ball, the ball slipped out of his hands and looped towards the batsman, on the full. Mathews was a fair way down the track, he was down on his knees as well, played the shot way too early. The ball looped off the top-edge and it's a simple catch for Ramdin. Mathews was happy to walk back, but umpire Aleem Dar stopped him, they checked for the replays - it only confirmed that the ball was on its way down, Mathews was well down the crease and the batsman has been sent on his way. Mathews c Ramdin b Dwayne Bravo 20(32)

Celebrations in the Windies camp, Sri Lanka are in a huge mess now. Siriwardana c Gayle b Badree 0(3)

Kapugedera was in no position to play any shot, ends up hacking across the line and missed, easy stumping for Ramdin. Are we in for an early end tonight? Kapugedera st Ramdin b Badree 6(10) [4s-1]

Badree to Thirimanne, out Caught by Andre Fletcher!! Sri Lanka slump into further trouble! This was tossed up invitingly outside off, Thirimanne was looking to go over cover, the bat turned on impact and he ended up slicing it towards point. An absolute dolly for Fletcher, West Indies are making serious inroads into this Sri Lankan batting line-up. Another failure for Thirimanne, he trudges off in disappointment.

Badree to Chandimal, out Chandimal Run Out!! A rocket throw from Charles and that's the end of Chandimal. This was pushed through flatter and just outside off, Chandimal backed away on the cut, hits it to the left of cover-point and set-off for a quick single, Thirimanne wasn't budging though, asks his partner to rush back. Charles was quick on the ball, cut the angles down and rifled in a sharp return to the keeper. Easy work for Ramdin, even the dive didn't save Chandimal, was caught short by a couple of inches. Chandimal run out (Charles/Ramdin) 16(18) [4s-1 6s-1]

Brathwaite to Dilshan, out Lbw!! Brathwaite strikes with his first ball, Dilshan isn't happy one bit, but he has to go. Was it sliding down the leg-side? That's the only issue here. This was full and angled back into the right-hander, Dilshan got his left leg out of the way as he aimed to slog it over mid-wicket, missed it completely and got struck bang in front of middle and leg, was pretty deep in his crease as well. The umpire reckoned that it was hitting the leg-stump, up goes the finger and Brathwaite exults in delight. Dilshan lbw b Brathwaite 12(10) [4s-1 6s-1]
