West Indies vs Sri Lanka 1st Test, Antigua - chairman - 03-22-2021
Kemar Roach and Jason Holder combined for eight wickets between them as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 169 on the opening day of the first Test in Antigua. Lahiru Thirimanne top scored for the visitors with a hard-fought 70 off 180 balls, but only three other Sri Lankan batsman would get to double digits, as they crumbled against a disciplined bowling performance from the hosts.

The dot balls lead to a wicket. Back of a length on fifth stump, Brathwaite fishes at this away from his body unnecessarily with a diagonal bat as the ball swings away a touch and Brathwaite sends a thick edge to second slip where Dhananjaya takes this at waist height swiveling his hips away to cushion the take.

Roach to Dimuth, OUT
finally teases him out poking an edge to third slip! Roach just kept probing away on the fifth/sixth stump channel. This one was even wider on a good length on about a seventh stump line. No need to play at that whatsoever. Not on a driveable length but Dimuth pushes way away from his body trying to attack after being stifled all over by dot balls and it seams away to produce a thick edge that flies to Campbell at rib height for a straightforward catch. Dimuth is fuming at himself for playing at that ball as he walks off.
