And that is from me here, but you can follow more live action here, as Sri Lanka take on West Indies.

Morris: " Very happy. That was a performance, but more happy we got the win. It was a similar wicket to the one against England. I tried to bowl quick as I can, unfortunately, some guys travelled. Nagpur has been turning, and the spinners will be licking their lips. We have a couple of days to recuperate."
