00:09Young boys and girls who get an opportunity to meet with some of their heroes, something
00:16that will be indelibly etched in their minds before the rest of their lives.
00:23Dropped, first ball should have been taken as easy as they come for Casey Carty, perhaps
00:32too easy.
00:33Yeah, first runs off the bat, it will trickle away towards the boundary, gets there now.
00:44Tatum Nesanka away, it's taken him 10 balls and judging by that delivery, it was worth
00:51the wait.
00:55Down the leg side, a little bit wayward from Jadon Seals and the runs flow in that over,
01:018 of them, 12 without loss.
01:04In there, just away from the fielder, more the length and the line that he's searching
01:10for Matthew Ford.
01:15Errant in line, so rotates the strike quite nicely.
01:31What a shot, absolutely majestic from Kamindo Mendes, picked up, heaved away over the Kingston
01:39Cricket Club, first six of the innings.
01:45In there, Shea-Hope wants it, Shea-Hope calls for it, taken this time.
01:52The wonderful skill from Jadon Seals, exceptional setup and it brings about the reward.
02:02That one badly lined and easy pickings for Nesanka, gets a second boundary in this innings, 26-4-1
02:11now alongside me, Mr. Jimmy Adams.
02:17He likes it there, Nesanka, throws his hands at it, but a really good stop from Ruston
02:22Chase to slow it down, and he managed to get back for two.
02:30Yeah, he saw that coming, picked the length brilliantly, and just swatted it to the onside.
02:50He's right away, he's looking to strain with the line on that occasion.
03:01Yeah, he'll pick up four runs to end the 11th, Sri Lanka 38-4-1.
03:07As you said it, Jimmy, would not have gone too far a slip, he did not control that.
03:26Yeah, and just to strengthen your point a bit, Jimmy, I feel like in this over so far...
03:32Yeah, right there, Jimmy.
03:34There you see, bit of an edge there.
03:37So there you go, they keep strengthening your point for a slip, Jimmy.
03:44And that's precisely why Matthew Ford is used at the top of the order.
03:48It's not as quick as these other bowlers.
03:51With any swing and offer, you expect him to extract it.
04:00Cutting and cutting well.
04:09And 50 up for Sri Lanka.
04:18Comfortable single for...
04:23A very interesting phase of the game coming up.
04:27Chris Almendez just having to reach for that one.
04:30You look at the statistic.
04:36A little bit uppish there.
04:41From the schools.
04:46A little bit of a fumble results in the run eventually.
04:54Two straight.
04:55This time Nisanca is able to cash in.
04:58Slightly expensive start for Joseph in his return.
05:02Oh yeah!
05:04Oh!
05:06Austin Chase has been electric at that point position.
05:11A well-constructed set up from Jayden Seals to eventually break the opening partnership.
05:19Keep working, lads.
05:21Keep working!
05:22And since then, this...
05:25And they're leading the way once again.
05:30Quite interested to see what happens with Comendo Mendez as you go through the series.
05:36No, no, no!
05:43Just wide of chase so they get the second.
05:46Initially.
05:49Simply too easy.
05:51With Miran in the circle.
05:53It brings up the 50 partnership.
05:54That's growing in real esteem.
06:06Just looking at the selection for the Western East today.
06:09One of the rare times that She-Hope has.
06:14The longer he stays there, you know the...
06:18And it entices him to come down the pitch.
06:22And it just has enough to evade Shamar Joseph.
06:32Authoritative and very convincing from Kusa Mendez who again uses his feet.
06:37And takes on Godake Shmorti.
06:44Dexterity following up the power.
06:46And it will be back-to-back boundaries.
06:48And Sri Lanka as the 100 comes up.
06:50Growing in strength.
06:57Goes again.
06:59Six again.
07:03Kusa Mendez dominant.
07:05108 for one.
07:06Got one of those fielders.
07:09Find out next door.
07:12Well fielded by Matthew Ford in the end.
07:14But it will be a couple of runs to bring up a 36-1 international half century.
07:28It's a big playing surface.
07:35I think the only thing that saves him here is bat.
07:45Okay.
07:46Yeah.
07:47I can see a clear deflection from bat onto pad.
07:51Leslie, you can stay with regional decision of not out.
07:57Good decision from umpire Lezzarifa.
08:04And he's found a way to add a boundary to it as well.
08:11Nice touch.
08:13It's a gaping hole between what's a square mid-wicket and a normal mid-on.
08:24A drop, a run, and a milestone.
08:35Smashed.
08:35Wide of mid-on.
08:37Picked up off a length.
08:42There are more runs here.
08:44Ill-directed.
08:46By Jayden Seals.
08:53Once again, full and straight.
08:55Once again, capitalized the pun from Nisanka.
09:03And to come through out of that, Kushar Mendes goes deep.
09:10Against the wind.
09:14That's slow delivery.
09:19It's a deadrush line.
09:21There's not much pace on it.
09:27Full and hammered.
09:35A full toss.
09:37And a wicket, and a jig for Matthew Ford.
09:43and there he goes he's decided to go aerial he's seen enough this anchor continue the success
09:54well done she hope that is stupendous it has taken a moment of brilliance to dismiss
10:00pat on the Sanka who's in shock and really great awareness shown by shy hope
10:15wide signal and what a way to start the over fantastic strike from Ratnika all the way for
10:26six he scored 121 was having a look at his first-class career it is a little bit of indecision
10:41but good placement that is sublime from a Sri Lanka just uses the piece and the angle to perfection
10:56might consider to they do when they get their good running really good running between the wickets
11:06not control but gets a four nonetheless maybe a little bit fortuitous it should be good for the
11:18batters creating creating quite a bit of room and good running again to get a couple
11:26yeah in there feel the circles settles and takes the catch hitting into the wind always a little bit
11:35tricky and rust and chase gets another create a similar effect
11:45and you can't follow up the Yorker with a half volley and he did to running on board
11:54thinking about two and getting there quite easily in the end Moti not the quickest
12:05innovative
12:09Leonagi is showing the full repertoire straight over the bowler's head and now over the keeper's head
12:14end of 45 wide and four wides
12:32and a penis I heard something not sure if it was close enough but she wants to have a look
12:43let's see you can stay with the original season of not out
12:47your on-screen signal now
12:50ultra edge confirming what we saw with the first
13:03and Leonagi again using the pace so nicely showing a full range of strokes that's the end of 46 2
13:12-6-1 for 4
13:19pace off again but Leonagi again able to get underneath the ball and just shovel it all over the field
13:32the Leonagi lap I think we have to call this now this is the third or fourth time he's found
13:38away
13:42it's high
13:43oh effort what an effort from roston chase
13:55another opportunity
13:56this time gone
13:58pouched
13:58by jayden seals
14:01and a little bit of a jig from matthew ford once again
14:09shot from asaranga giving himself some room finding the vacant offside boundary
14:18seals goes short and it's hooked high there's a man underneath it and it's a catch taken
14:25shafi and rutherford coming in having to cover some ground
14:33and they try to get a single run out good awareness from jayden seals trying to steal a by
14:42leonagi and rothnerka
14:45leonagi goes straight and he goes big
14:51that's the 300 for sri lanka with a ball to go we ask leonagi
14:58for the wide
15:00you think they try for the second they do
15:03the baller's end and he gets home safety
15:06each other
15:10ends of good innings for sri lanka
15:14and a top cameo from janet leonagi
15:21picked up
15:23for six
15:27we talked about wind factor
15:33two straight again good fielding on the boundary
15:43flashing willow
15:44run close to the boundary
15:47pullback just inside
15:53hammered to the leg side picked up off a lane may not go to the boundary
16:02but
16:06to be around the wicket looking to cramp john campbell for room does just that
16:13with a power part
16:17upish but safe you then want your engine room to be impactful
16:26such an important point to make there carlos and the key thing i took from that is the role
16:31identification
16:39if he doesn't play he's done well he's
16:45short rushed
16:47but a boundary
16:49that was quick
16:51lucky for the batter john campbell
16:59he has his first bong wheel what a way to get it
17:09and whipped square
17:12should look for a third if they could but they can't
17:21good cricket
17:24got the boundary
17:26got the two
17:31punch
17:31punching through the offside
17:33may not run away for four but again
17:37breaching the field and getting a couple
17:39about the chimera
17:44shot
17:46from justin graves
18:03the original decision is not out
18:05pitching outside off
18:07came back outside
18:08leslie you can stay with your original decision of not out
18:11your on screen signal now
18:14leslie reefer has got it right again
18:18three reviews
18:23well played by justin graves looking for a quick single
18:32deft
18:34from john campbell
18:37just allowing the ball to hit the back
18:39and guiding it beautifully
18:47once again
18:48and the beauty of the shot is allowing the ball to come
18:54hooked for six
18:58short again from asita fernando
19:01and hooked again by justin graves
19:06buying again this time in front of square
19:11picked up the lens
19:16just like that and it's a chance and it's a direct hit
19:24there was a little bit of uh
19:29what a shot from justin graves again off the back foot
19:32punching
19:34imperiously through the offside
19:41inside there's a little bit of fortune needs to run and run hard
19:44it's a chase to the boundary two guys are after it
19:51smashed through the offside not tying to perfection they have to run it out
19:57and they'll get another two to finish the over so we think it's the end of the seventh and the
20:02score is 59 for one
20:03one
20:04one
20:04one
20:04one

20:21one
20:21uh
20:23one
20:29it wasn't altogether convincing that particular stroke results in another couple
20:34i just wonder if it has to do with that threat from the spin jimmy
20:42shot glorious from justin graves absolutely glorious he's nailed that one
20:59he's given himself too much room and that's the skill and quality of Maheshtikshana he is a wicket taker
21:11one of the marks straight away his experience calmness and composure quite diligently
21:23and this will result in another couple i saw him bowling earlier before the start of play jimmy
21:28saw him during the break he's you know of course he opens for the leeward islands at the list a
21:37level
21:38should get an extra run or two to the ball ricocheted off the stumps that would be close you know
21:49uh fish the partnerships are helped if one person gets in and goes big and be that linchpin not
21:56necessarily dropping anchor

22:56second time in that case the carty is
23:03oh my word is it a player or a plane come in new mendes that is unbelievable
23:13tremendous we know he can ball with either right or left hand
