The 3rd day's play between Sri Lanka and West Indies has been delayed due to a controversy relating to the change of ball.

The umpires wanted to change the ball when the play resumed, however, Sri Lankan team is opposing the way it was done.

Already, the umpires have awarded 5 penalty runs to the West Indies.

"The ball will be changed. The batsmen will choose it. And five penalty runs will be awarded to West Indies. Sri Lanka will be contesting the charge, however".
