81-3 (Sri Lanka 41 runs behind). How many can England chase down on this pitch ?
Around 200 more than they’ll need to.

SL 95/4 (but effectively 5 down, with Chandimal retired hurt with a likely broken thumb)

That's an odd one... no ball given because Smith has his gloves in line with the stumps when the ball was delivered.

124-4, leading by 2

Sri Lanka effectively 13 for effectively 5

The rare “double effectively” in play here

WTF was that? You’ve just seen Mark Wood walk off and you play an agricultural swipe to Joe Root (who’s only on to complete the over) and hit it straight up in the air, absolutely stupid dismissal

England cantering toward victory now and will probably wrap the game up tonight with 23 to win, Jamie Smith again playing well after an early wobble
