These were the goals for both teams before the series started. Which team has ticked more boxes with the ODIs nearly over?

6.15pm Quite an allround performance from Sri Lanka. Third highest total at this ground. A 60-run stand from the openers set the base. Karunaratne and Perera got 44 each. Mendis and Dhananjaya got fifties. In all, four batsmen motored along at a strike-rate of 100+. Three fifty-plus stands helped too. We'll be back in around 30 minutes for the chase.

Dhananjaya: "Happy because I got a fifty after long time. Think I'm batting well from the Pakistan Test series. Good score on a slow wicket. Hasaranga is in good form, Sandakan too. If we bowl well in the Powerplay, we can defend it."

Holder to Udana, OUT, Pollard takes another catch and Holder gets another wicket. Low full toss outside off, and he looks to go over long off. Doesn't have the distance however. Sri Lanka 307 all out

Holder to Udana, 1 wide, full outside the tramlines, and Udana can't connect. Wide called

Pradeep will be at the non striker's end. Udana on strike

49.5
W
Holder to Sandakan, OUT, back of a length on off, and he can't connect with the shot. They run across to try and steal a bye, but the throw from the keeper to Holder is good enough. Sandakan's halfway back when the TV umpire says its out

PADLR Sandakan run out 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

W
Holder to PW Hasaranga, OUT, middle stump clattered as Hasaranga runs across exposing his stumps. Misses the flick while Holder nails the yorker

PW Hasaranga b Holder 16 (9b 1x4 1x6) SR: 177.77

Holder to PW Hasaranga, FOUR, over mid off! Back of a length on off, and he makes room before flat-batting it over the infield
49.2
6
Holder to PW Hasaranga, SIX, innovative! Holder goes full and wide, but Hasaranga runs across towards the tramlines and opens the leg side completely. Flicks the wrists to hit it over deep backward square

Lakwin: "@MathewA - actually Dilshan and Mathews have been more prolific at No 6 for SL in ODIs than Arnold. However completely agree with you - Dhananjaya fits the role ideally - more a classical ODI bat - who can be the aggressor when required as well. Also I feel DShanaka is competing for No 7, not 6, as he is quite a handy bowler as well."

Holder to Udana, 1 run, full toss, outside off, and he slices an attempted lofted drive. Ball rolls away to cover

Three good overs on the trot from West Indies. Can they finish the innings well? Looks like Holder will bowl out. He's gone for more than six per over tonight
