- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.2 Wellalage gets the breakthrough! And how Sri Lanka needed this! Banton comes out of the crease to this, but perhaps not quite to the pitch. Is looking for the lofted drive over extra cover, but this is straighter than he would like and he can only seek out a wide long-off, who makes no mistake 74/115.6 Huge appeal and given! Tossed up on the stumps and Duckett misses the sweep. This sneaks under the bat, and hits him in the front leg in front of middle and off. Root tells his partner to forego the review, and Duckett has to go. This looked to be crashing into middle and leg 85/237.1 And out of a nothing Sri Lanka have picked up Root! This was back of a length, perhaps the cutter - it certainly held up in the surface - as Root looks to work it onside off the back foot but ends up closing the face a touch to early. Top edge pops up easily to midwicket and the stand is broken - but is the damage already done? England with a sublime platform here 244/349.6 Brook falls off the final delivery! And Jacks rightly applauds his skipper off the pitch. This was a wide full one that was carved away but well caught at backward point. But that is hardly the point. England finish on a monstrous 429 for 4! 429/4Extras13 (b 1, lb 1, nb 2, w 9)TOTAL429/4 (50 Overs, RR: 8.58)Fall of wickets: 1-74 (Tom Banton, 13.2 ov), 2-85 (Ben Duckett, 15.6 ov), 3-244 (Joe Root, 37.1 ov), 4-429 (Harry Brook, 49.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 beauty, pings the top of off! Kamindu thought he had this covered with a textbook defensive shot, but turns to see the zing bails flashing. Perfect length and juuuuussst nibbling away enough to beat the outside edge and hit off. England have their first 23/127.1 And there's the breakthrough! Very similar to Root's dismissal earlier in the day. Overton's extra bounce doing the trick here, as Avishka looks to turn this away onside but only ends up popping up a leading edge that Overton gobbles up gleefully. Avishka falls three runs short of a century 190/34.2 driven into the non-striker's end, did Atkinson get a touch on it? And was Kusal short of his ground? The bowler is confident and we're going up to the third umpire. UltraEdge detects just the faintest flick on Atkinson's fingertips, and Mendis' bat is inches short. This is going to be out! Gone without facing, a double-blow for SL early in this monster run chase 24/240.2 Rathanayake holes out! England finally break the stand. A tired-looking stroke from Rathnayake, he trudges off but he's done the hard yards in this skyscraping chase. Looking to muscle the ball down the ground but it doesn't have the legs and Banton pouches it safely running to his right from long-on 323/443.6 Shanaka falls short! Picks out long-on and England hit back! Dawson fired it in and Shanaka went for the big hit to bring up three figures. He connected pretty well but Banton is probably the safest pair of hands in the England team, and tall enough to haul the ball down in front of the rope. Brilliant innings from Shanaka, nevertheless. And another twist in this chase! 363/546.6 mishits a full toss to long-on! Close to being a no-ball on height, and they are going to check it. Looks like a legal ball, just - so Arachchige is on his way. But the damage has been done for England after that over 406/649.2 flattens middle stump! Round the wicket, Tongue targets the stumps and Wellalage misses with a huge wipe across the line! Just as importantly, it keeps Liyanage off strike. Nerves increasing for SL? 423/749.3 yorked first ball! The Mop is bringing England back from the dead! Tongue goes full, fast and straight and helps himself to another slice of rabbit pie 423/8Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL430/8 (49.5 Overs, RR: 8.62)Did not bat: D MadushankaFall of wickets: 1-23 (Kamindu Mendis, 3.6 ov), 2-24 (Kusal Mendis, 4.2 ov), 3-190 (Avishka Fernando, 27.1 ov), 4-323 (Pavan Rathnayake, 40.2 ov), 5-363 (Dasun Shanaka, 43.6 ov), 6-406 (Sahan Arachchige, 46.6 ov), 7-423 (Dunith Wellalage, 49.2 ov), 8-423 (Eshan Malinga, 49.3 ov)
