Sri Lanka vs West Indies, ICC World Cup 2019: Sri Lanka beat West Indies by 23 runs

L Malinga to N Pooran, That has slipped! A high full toss outside off, Pooran goes after it but misses. The keeper fails to collect it cleanly but the batters don't run. Wide.

L Malinga to S Cottrell, Inside edge! Close, very close. Like I wrote, Malinga went for the yorker. Cottrell looks to jam it out but the ball goes off the inner half down to fine leg for one.

L Malinga to N Pooran, Another very full ball outside off, Pooran looks to drive it through the off side but it goes off the inner half through mid-wicket. They take a run. Cottrell has two balls to play out. Not going to be easy for him. Malinga will be going for yorkers only, I believe.

L Malinga to N Pooran, Another yorker on middle, this jammed out.

L Malinga to N Pooran, A yorker outside off, Pooran jams it out to point.

L Malinga to N Pooran, DROPPED AND FOUR! That has been misjudged horribly. Has Thisara Perera, the sub, dropped the game? Well, we will find out. Malinga bowls it full and on off, Pooran lofts it towards long off. He has not got enough on it. Perera though runs in then realizes it is going over him. Looks to recover by moving back and by stretching his hands up. The ball bursts through and goes into the fence. Malinga is not impressed. Karunaratne is shaking his head. Massive moment, this.

Lasith Malinga is back into the attack. He has two vital overs up his sleeves. That's the game, to be honest.

I Udana to S Cottrell, He does so! Udana attacks the stumps and Sheldon keeps it out. 47 needed in the last 5.

I Udana to N Pooran, This is fuller and on middle, this is hit down to long on for one. Cottrell has one ball to play out.

I Udana to N Pooran, SIX! What a sound that made off the bat! That has been hit with the wind. Short and on the body, Pooran waits for it and pulls it over the backward square leg fence for a biggie.

I Udana to N Pooran, WIDE! Down the leg side, Pooran looks to swing but misses. Wide signaled.

I Udana to N Pooran, A dot! Fuller and on middle, Pooran hits it back to the bowler.

I Udana to N Pooran, 100 for Pooran! Brilliant, brilliant innings! His first in ODIs and hopefully of many to come. Also, what a time to score your first ton, his team was down and out but his innings has brought them back. He needs to stay there right till the end though. This is fuller and on middle, Nicholas flicks it through mid-wicket for two.

Sheldon Cottrell walks out to the middle. He needs to hang in there with Pooran. That is his job.

I Udana to F Allen, OUT! Run out! Rihanna maybe in attendance but the song of Taylor Swift - 'Trouble, Trouble' is playing in my mind. Complete miscommunication here and yet another fifty stand is broken through a run out. A delivery down the leg side, Fabian flicks it towards short fine leg and Pooran wants to have a run in spite of the striker not showing much interest. Rajitha, in the meanwhile, picks up the ball and parries it to the bowler who does the rest. Not even in the frame, Fabian. He has sacrificed himself here. 57 needed off 35 balls.

K Rajitha to F Allen, A full toss on middle, this is hit down to long on for one. 11 from the over, 57 needed in 36.

K Rajitha to N Pooran, Pooran moves onto 99 as he strokes this through covers for one.

K Rajitha to F Allen, A full toss outside off, this is hit through covers for one. Fifty up for Allen. A brilliant knock by him. Probably a match-winning one. The job is not done yet. This is full toss on off and is hit through covers for one.

K Rajitha to F Allen, SIX! What a hit this is from Fabien Allen! WOW! Even Rihanna in the stands is impressed. The one boundary they need in every over has come here. This is full and on middle, Allen lofts it over the bowler's head. It goes all the way.

K Rajitha to N Pooran, Fuller and outside off, Pooran hits it through covers for one. Singles won't harm Sri Lanka.
