9.22pm Before the rain break, West Indies made 40 in 14.2 overs. Since then, they've made 119 in 11.4 overs, thanks largely to the efforts of Andre Russell and Jason Holder. The bowlers seem to be having some difficulty in gripping the ball, and the outfield seems to have slowed down quite a bit. We have the revised target now: Sri Lanka need 163 to win in 26 overs.

Mathews to Ramdin, OUT, good ball to end. An effort ball dug in short outside off. Goes over Ramdin's bat as he attempts to carve it through the off side, and Kusal underarms direct at his end to run out Holder as they try to sneak a bye
JO Holder run out 36 (13b 2x4 3x6) SR: 276.92
Nonymous: "Typical Mendis. Goes for runs but gets wickets."
Uwaisul Karnain: "Meanwhile Kieron Pollard is playing for Cape Cobras in the Ram Slam T20 Challenge!"

Mathews to Holder, 1 run, yorker wide of off stump, dragged down the ground to long-on
25.2
2
Mathews to Holder, 2 runs, full on leg stump, and that's a well-timed clip from Holder, a pick-up shot that bounces just short of the rope and slows up enough for the deep midwicket fielder to chase it down to his right

Mathews to Holder, SIX, short ball angling into off stump, and Holder gets into a superb position, gets his front leg out of the way, and keeps a stable base and swivels through the hips to launch that over the midwicket boundary
