England vs Sri Lanka , 2nd T20I at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff , SL in ENG, 3 T20Is, 2026 , Sep 17, 2026 Scorecard

19.6: Jofra Archer to Tharindu Ratnayake, OUT! CAUGHT! Jofra Archer does get his man, and Sri Lanka end up with 145/9 on the board. Archer hits a hard length, bowling it over the top of off and middle. Tharindu Ratnayake stands tall and hangs back, looking to hit through the line. The ball goes off the higher part of the blade and lobs down to long on, where Harry Brook takes a simple catch.

19.5: Jofra Archer to Tharindu Ratnayake, DROPPED! Sonny Baker never seemed to pick that up. Short-pitched delivery over middle. Ratnayake backs away to pull but gets a top edge around the short third region. Baker comes in from the deep and puts in a late dive but can't get his hands on the ball. Two taken.

19.4: Jofra Archer to Eshan Malinga, Jos Buttler isn't pleased with his effort and rightly so. Slower one, back of a length and angled across off. Malinga has a feel for it and gets beaten past the outside edge. Ratnayake scampers for the bye and Buttler, after intiating fumbling the ball on the bounce, fails to hit the stumps.

19.3: Jofra Archer to Dushmantha Chameera, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Jofra Archer does get a wicket in his 50th T20I. Archer serves it full and straight, getting it to seam away a bit. Dushmantha Chameera backs away and just swings across the line, missing it completely. The ball smashes into the middle stump and sends it cartwheeling out of the ground.

19.2: Jofra Archer to Tharindu Ratnayake, Full and straight, Ratnayake backs away and hits it off the middle stump, getting it past point for a run.

19.1: Jofra Archer to Tharindu Ratnayake, Full-pitched delivery on leg, shapes back in. Ratnayake clears the front leg to go across the line but is beaten on the inside edge.

18.6: Sonny Baker to Dushmantha Chameera, A wicket-maiden in the 19th over for Sonny Baker, wow! Pitched up at the batter, Chameera jams it to the right of the bowler. Baker quickly gets across and pounces on it with a dive.

18.5: Sonny Baker to Dushmantha Chameera, Did that carry? The replays show that it barely did, and Will Jacks got his fingertips to it as well. Back of a length and over the stumps. Chameera backs away and slices it towards backward point, but the ball dips on the fielder and awkwardly so. Jacks dives forward and doesn't quite get the fingers underneath.

18.4: Sonny Baker to Dushmantha Chameera, Slower one, on a good length and over off. Chameera keeps it out.

18.3: Sonny Baker to Dushmantha Chameera, Not far away from hitting the stumps! Baker goes for the fast yorker and lands it just outside the line of off stump. Dushmantha Chameera hangs back and fails to dig it out.

18.2: Sonny Baker to Wanindu Hasaranga, OUT! TAKEN! That is a mighty fine grab from Liam Dawson and Sonny Baker gets a well-deserved wicket here. Another pace-off delivery, a bit fuller and around off. Wanindu Hasaranga hangs deep and goes after it, losing his shape in the process and slices it badly over cover-point. Liam Dawson at cover calls for it early, backtracks and pouches it over the left shoulder with both hands.

18.1: Sonny Baker to Wanindu Hasaranga, Baker hits a back of a length but bowls it slower and wider of the off stump. Hasaranga has a slash at it but is well beaten.

17.6: Adil Rashid to Wanindu Hasaranga, Dragged length around off, punched away wide of the cover fielder for another quick single.

17.5: Adil Rashid to Tharindu Ratnayake, Oh, a misfield from Jofra Archer and the batters manage to get the single. Flatter one around off, dabbed to the left of backward point. Hasaranga sets off for the single, whereas Ratnayake is ball-watching. He does eventually manage to get across, though.

17.4: Adil Rashid to Tharindu Ratnayake, Well, that's a fancy attempt from Ratnayake. Flatter and from the front of hand, angled across off. Ratnayake brings out the reverse but misses and gets hit on the pads.

17.3: Adil Rashid to Tharindu Ratnayake, Floated up at the stumps, Tharindu Ratnayake eases it back to the bowler.

17.2: Adil Rashid to Charith Asalanka, OUT! CAUGHT! The move to go back to Adil Rashid has worked for England. Tossed up, slightly wide of the off stump. Charith Asalanka dances down the track and plays the lofted drive but hits it straight down the throat of the long off fielder. Jamie Overton is standing well inside the ropes and takes a simple catch.

17.1: Adil Rashid to Wanindu Hasaranga, Loopy delivery, bowled really full and on off. Hasaranga drills it along the ground to long off for a single.
