  • 49.6

    Jofra Archer to Angelo Mathews. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Buttler.

    A professional job from England done there. Excellent with the ball, and razor sharp in the field too. Contributions throughout the team, and they have restricted the total to a very chasable one. Sri Lanka weren't at their best. Angelo Mathews the only man to stick it out and grind some runs for his side. They need some early wickets to get the nerves going in the England dressing room. The hosts are in command at the halfway mark.

    SIX! Jofra Archer to Angelo Mathews. Leg cutter length ball, middle stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. That's in the slot from Archer. Mathews clears the front leg, and pumps it over the legside for six. Nice strike.

  • 48.3

    OUT! Bowled. Mark Wood to Lasith Malinga. Yorker, to leg backing away driving, missed to. That's how you bowl to the tailenders. Two accurate bouncers, followed by a mean yorker that tailed into leg. Malinga walked outside his leg stump to expose the wickets, and couldn't dig it out.

  • 48.2

    Mark Wood to Lasith Malinga. Short, outside off stump backing away pulling, hit body to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Buttler.

    FOUR! Jofra Archer to Angelo Mathews. Short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed in the air under control past third man for 4 runs. Super shot from Mathews. Knew the short one was coming, so got in position early, and just dinked the ball over the keeper for four.

    OUT! Caught. Mark Wood to Isuru Udana. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid on, by Root. Got him this time. The short ball working for Wood. Too much pace for Udana, who flaps at the ball, and mis-hits it to mid on for a simple grab. Sri Lanka are in danger of not completing their fifty overs.

  • 46.3

    FOUR! Mark Wood to Isuru Udana. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled past third man for 4 runs. Not sure how that's gone down there. Udana swings hard, aiming over mid wicket, but the ball flies off the edge and skips away to the third man boundary.

Thisara wildly swings and was never in control of this. The ball loops down to Adil Rashid, who takes a smart catch tumbling forward. Three for Jofra.

    மார்க் வுட் c Kusal Perera b Nuwan Pradeep 0 (4)

    OUT! Caught. Nuwan Pradeep to Mark Wood. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Perera. Tiny nick, and Sri Lanka win! One ball to bowl at Mark Wood, and Pradeep gets it spot on. Lovely line and length, Wood hangs the bat out, and Perera gobbles up the edge to seal things.

    What a game of cricket that was. High drama till the very end. England were extremely poor with the bat, apart from Joe Root and Ben Stokes, but huge credit must go to Sri Lanka. No one expected them to pull off this victory. Lasith Malinga stood up for his team and took four important wickets, and that gave them the belief to get those two points. Remarkable win, which certainly blows things wide open in this tournament.

    Hopefully the games will continue like that for the rest of the competition! Tomorrow we have two World Cup games on. India take on Afghanistan, and West Indies take on New Zealand. Should be another good day for cricket.

  • 46.2

    FOUR! Nuwan Pradeep to Ben Stokes. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot flick, well timed past long on for 4 runs. Low full toss, Stokes whips this away powerfully, and long on cannot get round to cut it off. A few more boundaries might make this interesting.

    ஜோப்ரா ஆர்க்கேர் c Thisara Perera b Isuru Udana 3 (11)

    OUT! Caught. Isuru Udana to Jofra Archer. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Perera. That should settle things. Still another 47 runs to get for England and they just have one wicket remaining. Out the back of the hand from Udana, Jofra's eyes light up, and he attempts to bludgeon it out the ground. Off the bottom end of the bat, and a simple take for long on.
