019.719.6: Shamar Joseph to Dunith Wellalage, OUT! TIMBER! Shamar Joseph wrestles back some momentum for West Indies with a stellar final over as Sri Lanka finish with 194/6 on the board. Shamar goes full and angles it just across off. It is a low full toss and Dunith Wellalage shuffles to the off side, looking to help it past short fine leg, but misses. The ball goes off the pads and onto the stumps and just one bail slowly falls off. Shamar is appealing for LBW but he later realizes that the batter has been bowled out.
7 Over | Run: 194/6 | Run Rate: 9.70

019.419.4: Shamar Joseph to Kamil Mishara, WIDE! Shamar Joseph gets away with a really poor delivery. Full again, and wide outside off, lands beyond the tramline and even beyond the cut strip. But because the ball was past the stumps before it landed, it will be just a wide and not a No Ball.

To be honest about the situation, it's a matter of fractions of a second. After watching the replay repeatedly, the third umpire gives the verdict as Not Out.
