END OF OVER:
20 | 2 Runs 2 Wkts | SL: 140/10 | RR: 7.00

  • Chaminda Bandara2 (4b)
  • Chris Jordan4-0-29-3
  • Liam Plunkett4-0-27-2

Sri Lanka bowled out for 140. England very impressive - 48 dot balls in the innings - all the bowlers playing their part, led by Liam Dawson on debut, and the fielding was solid as well. Sri Lanka's batsmen made starts but couldn't convert - as has been a theme of the tour. Shashank will be with you in a few moments for the run chase as England go for a cleansweep of trophies

SJ: "Think SL needed 40-50 more to make England sweat."

James : "Sri Lanka only struck 11 boundaries in their innings. Not going to be anywhere near enough."

Liam Dawson, on TV, says: "It's well below par, we should get them." That about sums it up

Jordan to Maharoof, OUT, finds long-on...Maharoof swings through the line of a full delivery and Willey, on as sub, barely had to move near the boundary (Willey's sore shins clearly not stopping him fielding)

1
Jordan to Bandara, 1 run, back of a length, shovelled to the leg side, Jordan does the fielding himself from his follow through and that might have been close with a hit

Morgan has run straight off the field after that catch. Looks like he has hurt his finger. Maybe a dislocation? Physio taking him to the dressing room
