ENG - INN SL - INN

0
16.4: Adil Rashid to Dilshan Madushanka, OUT! TIMBER! Adil Rashid picks the final wicket. Rashid pushes the loopy delivery, outside off, the googly and it goes past Madushanka's wild drive away from his body. Might have picked the inside edge as the ball ricochets onto the stumps. ENGLAND WIN BY 51 RUNS.

0
16.3: Adil Rashid to Dilshan Madushanka, Floats in a fuller delivery, around off, Madushanka drives it to cover.

1
16.2: Adil Rashid to Maheesh Theekshana, Touch too full and around off, Maheesh Theekshana mistimes his sweep shot to mid-wicket. To the right of the fielder for a single.

0
16.1: Adil Rashid to Maheesh Theekshana, Flights it very full and slower in the air, around off, Maheesh Theekshana swings across wildly but inside edges it onto the pads. It rolls on the strips.

15.6: Liam Dawson to Dushmantha Chameera, OUT! TIMBER! England can see the finishing line now. Quicker one from Liam Dawson bowled flatter as well and attacking the stumps. Dushmantha Chameera charges down the track to slog but is beaten comprehensively. The ball turns a bit as well and castles into the stumps behind. Dawson ends up with figures of - 4-0-27-2.

2
15.5: Liam Dawson to Dushmantha Chameera, Oh, a leading edge and that could have been runout at either end as well. Flighted ball, drifting in. Dushmantha Chameera looks to flick but gets a leading edge back over the bowler's head. The batters run one and push for the second. The throw comes in from the deep, it misses the stumps at the bowler's end but hits the stumps at the keeper's end. Chameera does make it back in time, though.

1
15.4: Liam Dawson to Maheesh Theekshana, On middle, Theekshana comes forward and eases it to long on for one.

4
15.3: Liam Dawson to Maheesh Theekshana, FOUR! That should have been stopped. Floated up, wide outside off, Theekshana lunges across and plays the lap down to fine leg. Sam Curran over there runs to his right and puts in a tentative slide across, fumbling the ball onto the ropes.

1
15.2: Liam Dawson to Dushmantha Chameera, Flatter one, Chameera comes forward and pushes it towards cover-point for a single.

0
15.1: Liam Dawson to Dushmantha Chameera, Nice and full, on off, Chameera blocks it off.

End of over 15
SL86/8
SL Batting M Theekshana 4(4) D Chameera 3(9)

2
14.6: Adil Rashid to Maheesh Theekshana, Oh, just wide of first slip. Tossed up on off, turning away, Maheesh Theekshana pushes at it and gets a thick outside edge that runs away down to deep third for a couple of runs more.

0
14.5: Adil Rashid to Maheesh Theekshana, Flighted delvery, fuller and on off, Theekshana blocks it on the front foot.

2
14.4: Adil Rashid to Maheesh Theekshana, Oh, that's a fine piece of fielding from Bethell. Tossed-up delivery, Maheesh Theekshana laces the cover drive but Jacob Bethell at deep cover dives to his right and saves a couple of runs for his team.

0
14.3: Adil Rashid to Maheesh Theekshana, Good length on middle, blocked off by Maheesh Theekshana.

0
14.2: Adil Rashid to Dasun Shanaka, OUT! TAKEN! That is a sensational piece of fielding and game awareness from Will Jacks and it is he who makes the difference for England yet again. Adil Rashid drags the length short and bowls it flatter on middle and off. Dasun Shanaka rocks back and looks to muscle the pull but ends up hitting it flat towards deep mid-wicket. Jacks is stationed there, moves to his left and takes a running catch but knows that he is going to go over the ropes. He has a look with the side eye and sees Tom Banton approaching towards him from widish long on and flicks it to him. Banton gobbles it up and this should be the final nail in the coffin for Sri Lanka.

1
14.1: Adil Rashid to Dushmantha Chameera, Tossed up on off, Chameera steps out and strokes it on the full, down to long off for one. Much better from Chameera.

0
19.6: Dushmantha Chameera to Jamie Overton, Oh, that was there to be hit. Dushmantha Chameera misses the yorker this time and ends up serving a full toss. The ball does tail back in and Jamie Overton misses the swing. He gets hit on the inside part of the thigh and the batters manage to pick up a leg bye. Overton seems to be in a bit of pain as well. England finish with 146/9 on the board.

1
19.5: Dushmantha Chameera to Adil Rashid, A yorker on off, tails back in. Adil Rashid squeezes it in front of point for a single. Perfectly executed yorker from Chameera.

0
19.4: Dushmantha Chameera to Jamie Overton, Just trying to slow things down a fraction, clever from Dasun Shanaka. Chameera goes for the yorker at the toes and nails it as well. Jamie Overton fails to get the front leg out of the way and gets rapped on the pads. The ball rolls past the strip, and the batters pick up a leg bye. It is reviewed for a LBW decision, but the on-field decision of Not Out remains.

6
19.3: Dushmantha Chameera to Jamie Overton, SIX! That's well struck. A leg cutter from Chameera but it is bowled in the slot and Jamie Overton extends those arms before swatting it straight back down the ground for a biggie. Ordinary cricket keeps costing Sri Lanka in this final over.

2
19.2: Dushmantha Chameera to Jamie Overton, Ordinary cricket from Sri Lanka! Full and at pace, on middle. Overton clears the front leg and smacks it down the ground. Hits it down to long on, where Kamil Mishara collects it on the bounce. He holds onto the ball, and Overton spots that. He calls Rashid through for the second run, and seeing that, Kamil gets rid of the ball, but his throw is well wide of the keeper and Jamie gets home with ease.

0
19.1: Dushmantha Chameera to Jamie Overton, Not far away from hitting the off stump! Leg-cutter from around the wicket, on a good length, across off. Overton walks across the stumps and waits to play the scoop, but is beaten on the inside edge. The ball sneaks past the off pole and dribbles behind towards the keeper.

End of over 19
ENG135/9
ENG Batting J Archer 0(1) J Overton 2(5)

0
18.6: Dilshan Madushanka to Jofra Archer, OUT! TAKEN! Another full toss but once again, an English batter finds the fielder. Dilshan Madushanka goes full and wide but ends up serving another full toss. Jofra Archer looks to smack it away but miscues it wide of mid off. Dushan Hemantha scampers to his left and pouches it brilliantly with a dive.

0
18.5: Dilshan Madushanka to Will Jacks, OUT! CAUGHT! Dilshan Madushanka does have the last laugh here. Madushanka misses the wide yorker by an even bigger margin and ends up bowling a low full toss. Will Jacks jumps down the track this time and throws his hands at it. However, his body seems to be falling over and he ends up slicing it towards deep point. Dunith Wellalage makes no error in the deep and England might struggle to get over 150 now.

4
18.4: Dilshan Madushanka to Will Jacks, FOUR! No one on the fence at deep extra cover and Jacks gets another boundary in that region. Full and wide outside off again, not far away from being another perfect yorker but an inch or two makes a big difference. Jacks hangs back and hammers it wide of deep cover for a boundary.

0
18.3: Dilshan Madushanka to Will Jacks, That's brilliant from Dilshan. Right in the blockhole, wide outside off but not wide enough to go beyond the tramline. Jacks looks to squeeze it away but fails to do so.

4
18.2: Dilshan Madushanka to Will Jacks, FOUR! Will Jacks gets one away, and boy did England need that. Full and wide outside off, Jacks stays deep in the crease and drills the cover drive to the left of the fielder inside the ring and it races away to the fence.

1
18.1: Dilshan Madushanka to Jamie Overton, A yorker on the fifth stump line, Overton gets across to cover the line and plays it with a straight bat through mid off for one.

End of over 18

ENG Batting W Jacks 13(10) J Overton 1(4)

0
17.6: Maheesh Theekshana to Will Jacks, Even Jacks can't get it away under this sort of pressure. Theekshana drags the length back and slows it right up, pushing it wide of the off stump. Jacks hangs back to pull but is through his shot way too early. A couple of runs and a wicket off the 18th over.

1
17.5: Maheesh Theekshana to Jamie Overton, Finally, a single. Nagging length around off, clipped away down to long on for one by Overton.

0
17.4: Maheesh Theekshana to Jamie Overton, The dots just keep mounting and Jacks is kept off the strike. Dragged length angled into the batter, Jamie Overton looks to stay put and pull but plays all over it and wears it on the thigh pad.

0
17.3: Maheesh Theekshana to Jamie Overton, Good length outside off, straightens down the line, Overton hops back and plays it back to the bowler.

1WD
17.3: Maheesh Theekshana to Jamie Overton, WIDE. Another flicker, bowled fast and wide outside off. Overton slashes but misses.

0
17.2: Maheesh Theekshana to Jamie Overton, A bit fuller now, outside off. Jamie Overton gets across to cover the line and blocks it off.

0
17.1: Maheesh Theekshana to Liam Dawson, OUT! CAUGHT! Liam Dawson was going nowhere with that charge down the pitch. Dawson premeditates and comes down the pitch, allowing Maheesh Theekshana to pull his length back. This is the flicker bowled from the front of the hand and it goes away after pitching. Dawson has a hoick across the line but slices it up over covers, where Dasun Shanaka takes a few steps back to his left and pouches it comfortably.
