Excellent victory for Sri Lanka! They didn't manage a big total with the bat but their bowlers put on a show to outclass the English batting which is known for its firepower. Two games running England have failed to chase down a total and the team management would have to revisit their strategies. For Sri Lanka, they were not clinical by any means and there is still a big scope for improvement. Done with this match, next up India will be locking horns against South Africa at 1840 IST (1310 GMT). Cheers!

Another 10-run over and it's heading for a tight finish. 11 needed more by England but with the batsmen of the caliber of Morgan and Butler present, they will be feeling confident.

OUT That is a simple catch to the fielder.

Thesera leaked 10 runs in the third over. 21 needed off 12 balls. Still pretty much manageable for England but now they need to free their arms and find more boundaries.
