Windies fall agonisingly short

Windies fall agonisingly short

1 of 9 Sri Lanka win the toss and choose to bat first in the day-nighter but lose Marvan Atapattu to an early run-out

2 of 9 Sri Lanka's batsmen progress slowly, Hasan Tillakaratne scores 36 from 68 balls before being bowled by Wavell Hinds

3 of 9 Skipper Sanath Jayasuriya scores a pain-staking 66 before holing out to Shivnarine Chanderpaul in the deep

4 of 9 Brian Lara catches Kumar Sangakkara on the boundry as Sri Lanka creep to a total of 228-6 from their 50 overs

5 of 9 The West Indies reply stutters early on as first Hinds and then kingpin Lara are out cheaply to Chaminda Vaas

6 of 9 West Indies literally suffer a body blow as Ramnaresh Sarwan is struck on the head by a bouncer from Dilhara Fernando

7 of 9 Sarwan has to retire hurt and is carried from the field on a stretcher before being rushed to hospital for checks

8 of 9 Vaas returns to the attack and removes Chris Gayle for 55 and then Ridley Jacobs for a duck to put Sri Lanka in control

9 of 9 Astonishingly Sarwan resumes his innings and hauls Windies close to the target, but 14 off the last over proves too much
