Follow all the live updates of the events happening on day three of the second WI-SL Test.

The ICC can confirm the match officials in the second Test between West Indies and Sri Lanka changed the ball and awarded 5 penalty runs to West Indies. If there are any, Code of Conduct charges will follow as per usual at close of play.#WIvSL pic.twitter.com/xeiaAKQ9DU

The match has begun after a lengthy delay and West Indies have been awarded five runs. It's official.

What a surprised start to day 3 @OfficialSLC obviously unhappy over the development re the ball change not taking the field. I am only speculating about it.

Interestingly the ball wasn’t even changed in the #sandpapergate and we know what followed. Sri Lankan players aren’t taking the field vs WI following the umpires’ decision to change the ball... #BallTampering #TestCricket #WIvSL
