Tymal Mills to Chandimal, FOUR, short and outside off, Chandimal's eyes lit up seeing the width on that one, gets on top of it and cracks it behind point, the pace of Mills took it to the fence beating third man
15.3 -
Plunkett to Chandimal, leg byes, FOUR, Plunkett sprays it down leg and Chandimal misses out on the flick. However, the ball brushed the thigh pad and raced away fine. Handy runs these
13.2 -
Adil Rashid to Rambukwella, FOUR, a mishit and it is still four. Rambukwella is a strongly built man. Reminds me of Thisara Perera. Dances down and drags the pull off the inner part of the bat to deep square leg, placed it between the two fielders
8.3 -
Liam Dawson to Mathews, FOUR, some improvisation from the Sri Lankan skipper. Brings out the reverse sweep and directs it past backward point. The ball races away into the fence
6.4 -
Liam Dawson to Gunathilaka, FOUR, streaky! That was was very close to the stumps. Again slows it up around off, Gunathilaka goes for the heave, gets an inside edge which misses the stumps and runs away to the fence
6.0 -
Jordan to Gunathilaka, FOUR, lovely shot! Gunathilaka lofts this fullish delivery over mid-on and the ball races away into the fence
5.4 -
Jordan to Gunathilaka, FOUR, poor stuff from Jordan, offers a half-volley outside off, Gunathilaka takes full toll of it, crunches a drive through extra cover.
4.5 -
Plunkett to Gunathilaka, FOUR, nicely played. Overpitched this time from Plunkett, Gunathilaka gets low and creams the drive past cover, the ball races away into the fence
1.4 -
Tymal Mills to K Perera, FOUR, Perera is off and running. Sees the width on offer and latches onto it, stands tall and slaps it over the infield on the off-side, the ball just about trickles to the fence. Not a quick outfield!
15.2 -
Plunkett to Chandimal, SIX, Sri Lanka need plenty more of this. Slight shimmy down the wicket, converts it into a length delivery, presents the full face of the bat and creams it over long-on. Sailed comfortably over the rope
13.1 -
Adil Rashid to Rambukwella, SIX, finally, Rambukwella manages to connect with one. The length was fuller from Rashid and Rambukwella got underneath that, lofted it handsomely over long-off. Got plenty of power to clear the ground
5.1 -
Jordan to Kusal Mendis, SIX, Jordan misses his yorker and pays for it. Ends up dishing out a low full, Mendis gets low and butchers it over the backward square fence for a maximum
20.0 -
Jordan to Pradeep, out Bowled!! Castled! Excellent stuff from Jordan. Just too good for a No. 11. The perfect yorker, Pradeep made room to carve through the off-side, missed and the ball crashed into the base of off-stump. Good comeback by Jordan, who was smacked for 20 runs in his 2nd over. He ends with impressive figures of 4-0-29-3. Pradeep b Jordan 0(1)
19.5 -
Jordan to Maharoof, out Caught by (sub)Willey!! Maharoof had to go for it and all he can do is find the fielder. Length delivery right in the hitting zone, Maharoof winds up by clearing his front leg, smacks it straight down the throat of long-on, where Willey reverse cups it. It was there to be hit and Maharoof could not capitalize. Maharoof c (sub)Willey b Jordan 10(16)
17.2 -
Jordan to Chandimal, out Caught by Eoin Morgan!! Morgan is running off the field after completing the catch. Seems to have hurt it in the process. Sri Lanka's last hope to reach a good score departs. Full delivery around off, Chandimal moves to the leg-side to go over extra cover, gets it off the base of the bat and lobs a dolly to Morgan. The England skipper jerked his left hand and ran off the field. Hope it is not serious as England might need him with a bat. Chandimal c Eoin Morgan b Jordan 23(22) [4s-1 6s-1]
15.5 -
Plunkett to S Prasanna, out Caught by Buttler!! A soft dismissal. Someone needs to stay with Chandimal, otherwise they will end up with a below par total. Nothing but a harmless back of a length delivery just outside off, Prasanna wanted to steer it to third man, gets a thick outside edge, which is gobbled up by Buttler. S Prasanna c Buttler b Plunkett 1(3)
14.2 -
Tymal Mills to Rambukwella, out Rambukwella Run Out!! Not sure why Rambukwella didn't put in the dive. Short of a length delivery around off, Rambukwella stands tall and guides it to backward point, Chandimal calls for the single and Rambukwella responds, Vince moves forward, collects the ball and hits timber at the bowler's end. Rambukwella was well short of the crease. Rambukwella run out (James Vince) 19(16) [4s-1 6s-1]
10.4 -
Liam Dawson to Dasun Shanaka, out Dasun Shanaka Run Out!! 1 run completed. Hara-kiri being committed by the Sri Lankan batsmen. First, Shanaka almost chips it to Morgan at cover, to make it worse they try and steal a second, only for Shanaka to lose his wicket. Flighted around off, Shanaka is deceived and he checks his shot, the ball lobs over Morgan. Roy runs forward from sweeper cover and sends in a bullet throw to Buttler, who has the bails off in a flash. Shanaka dived, but he was well short of the crease. Easy call for the third umpire. Dasun Shanaka run out (Jason Roy/Buttler) 1(1)
10.3 -
Liam Dawson to Mathews, out Bowled!! The dream continues for Dawson. Three wickets in three overs in his debut game. What more can a debutant ask? An ugly heave by Mathews. Very unlike him. Tossed up on middle and leg, Mathews sinks to one knee and looks to send it towards cow corner, is beaten by the lack of pace. The ball arrived after the shot was played and it goes on to hit the middle stump. Mathews b Liam Dawson 11(10) [4s-1]
8.5 -
Liam Dawson to Kusal Mendis, out Caught&Bowled!! Another one bites the dust. Dawson picks up his second wicket. Clever stuff, sees Mendis advancing and shortens his length, Mendis ends up hitting it straight back to the bowler off the toe-end. Catching practice for Dawson, who accepts the catch gleefully. Kusal Mendis c and b Liam Dawson 21(16) [6s-1]
6.5 -
Liam Dawson to Gunathilaka, out Caught by Jordan!! Both the openers are back in the hut for Sri Lanka. Dawson gets his maiden T20I wicket. Again tosses it up, Gunathilaka shuffles across, lofts it towards long-off, didn't connect it too well and ends up hitting it in the air, Jordan sprinted across, put in a dive to his right and pouches it inches above the ground. Gunathilaka got it off the base of the bat, hence no timing on that. Gunathilaka c Jordan b Liam Dawson 26(16) [4s-4]
3.0 -
Plunkett to K Perera, out Caught by Tymal Mills!! The first incision has been made. The dangerous Perera departs. Shortish at the batsman, Perera was hurried by the pace as he tried to pull, ends up lobbing it in the air off the top-edge towards short fine leg, where Mills takes an easy catch. K Perera c Tymal Mills b Plunkett 13(15) [4s-1]
17.5 -
Jordan to Maharoof, 1 run, very full and almost in the blockhole, Maharoof squeezes it to mid-off and hares to the other end, there is a direct-hit, but Maharoof has made it in comfortably
14.5 -
Tymal Mills to Chandimal, 1 run, what are they doing? Chandimal was almost gone. He was not even in the frame had the ball hits the stumps. The slower delivery outside off, chopped off the inside edge to Buttler, who fires at the bowler's end and misses
1.2 -
Tymal Mills to Gunathilaka, 1 run, a direct-hit from Jordan would've been curtains for Gunathilaka. Pushed this back of a length to mid-on and sets off for a single, Jordan swoops down on the ball quickly, underarms a throw at the bowler's end and fails to hit the target
