    I don't think the game is won as of yet. Even if Sri Lanka get 200, it'll make good viewing.

    This is fantastic batting from the Sri Lankans. They are a transformed outfit from the one so comprehensively beaten in England earlier this year.

  5. SL 180-3published at 19 overs

    Good end to the over from Andre Russell.

    The wicket is followed by a dot and a single.

    Six balls left. Can Sri Lanka get up to 200?

    Asalanka's fabulous effort comes to an end.

    Asalanka c Hetmyer b Russell 68 (SL 179-3)

    Good innings, good catch.

    Charith Asalanka looks to pull away but doesn't quite catch it cleanly and Shimron Hetmyer takes a good catch, coming in off the square leg boundary.

    A brilliant 68 from 41 balls for Asalanka, though.

  8. SL 179-2published at 18.3 overs

    The boundaries are flowing at the moment.

    Dasun Shanaka laps Andre Russell for four before Charith Asalanka drills through the covers foranother.

    They are motoring.

    It is shots like this that have dragged Sri Lanka up to this big score...

    17 off the over - and it wasn't a bad over!

  11. SL 170-2published at 18 overs

    Four more!

    Charith Asalanka finishes the over with a beautiful straight drive. It only just bounced inside the rope too.

    Sri Lanka are motoring. 200 is in reach.

    Pooran is upset with that one, and I can see why.

  13. SL 164-2published at 17.3 overs

    Dwayne Bravo follows that six with three wides...

    We could be here a while.

    We say the Sri Lankans are not power hitters, but that last six went 90m back over the bowler's head.

    Hello! Little bit of Rishabh Pant in this from Charith Asalanka.

    Dwayne Bravo is arrowing the ball across the left hander and the 24-year-old just flat bats back down the ground for his first six of the day.

    Lovely shot.

    Joe Gibney: Charith Asalanka is going to be one of the next big things in cricket, got so much talent going for him.

  17. SL 153-2published at 17 overs

    The runs are flowing again.

    West Indies are doing a lot of that Stuart Broad tactic in this innings - bowling round the wicket and looking to cramp the batter for room.

    Jason Holder tries it against Dasun Shanaka but the Sri Lanka captain is proactive and comes down the pitch and that allows him to squeeze the ball past Nicholas Pooran and away to the fence.

    Three overs left. 180-plus is definitely on the cards.

    That was a tough chance, high above the head, but Roston Chase has parried it over the rope. I wonder if he didn't judge the speed of it.

  19. 6 runs

    SL 145-2published at 16.2 overs

    Tipped over the bar!

    Dasun Shanaka slog sweeps Jason Holder and Roston Chase, positioned at deep mid-wicket, can only tip over the ropes for six more.

    Should he do better there? He might not have timed his jump properly.
