Kusal Pererarun out (Jonny Bairstow) 1 1 0 0 100
1.3
C Woakes to D Gunathilaka, OUT! Run out! Short around off, Gunathilaka defends to the off side and goes for a quick run. Bairstow at the covers runs forward and scores a direct hit at the striker's end. The umpire refers the decision upstairs and the replay shows that Kusal Perera is clearly out of the crease when the bails were sent flying. Also, the replays show that the bowler was coming in Perera's way and he has to run across him which cost him an extra second.

A Rashid to D Gunathilaka, OUT! That is a terrific catch from Moeen Ali! Wow. He missed a slightly difficult chance in his previous over but on this occasion he has taken what can be called as a blinder. Gunathilaka was trying to step down the track, aiming to go inside out and Rashid smartly followed him. He cramped the batsman for room and as a result, Gunathilaka could not get enough wood on the shot. He ended up slicing it over extra cover but Moeen Ali rushed across to his right from mid off and took a very, very good catch. Both the set batsmen dismissed in a quick space of time. Back to the Mathews-Chandimal pair again to resurrect the innings.
Kusal Mendisc Liam Plunkett b Adil Rashid 77 64 13 0 120.31
19.4
A Rashid to K Mendis, OUT! Kusal Mendis is caught by Plunkett! Mendis steps forward and attempts to slog sweep the ball but mistimes his shot and gets a top edge. The ball travels to long off. Plunkett rushes forward and pouches a fine catch. Rashid's lofted deliveries finally pay off and a big partnership has been broken.
Dinesh Chandimal (W)b David Willey 63 51 1 3 123.53
36.4
D Willey to D Chandimal, OUT! Bowled 'em! Full on leg, Chandimal looks to play the sweep shot but misjudges it. The ball angles in and knocks the base of the leg stump! That's a big wicket for the home side!
Angelo Mathews (C)not out 67 54 6 1 124.07
Seekkuge Prasannab David Willey 9 8 1 0 112.5
38.2
D Willey to S Prasanna, OUT! Bowled! That is a terrific delivery. He goes for a slower ball, swings it in, 81.3 kph, Prasanna goes for a sweep but misses and the ball hits the base of middle stump. Crucial wicket for the English.

37.5
N Pradeep to J Roy, OUT! BOWLED! Full on middle and off, Roy backs away and looks to swing but misses. The slower ball is not read and the ball hits the stumps. End of a very good knock from Roy. Single-handedly taken his side home.
Moeen Alic Dinesh Chandimal b Nuwan Pradeep 2 7 0 0 28.57
3.4
N Pradeep to M Ali, OUT! Caught behind! Pradeep has struck early. A length ball outside off, slightly wide, Moeen has a slash through the line but there is no feet movement and he gets a thick outside edge to the keeper. Moeen has been struggling a bit with the bat throughout this tour. ENGLAND NEED 290 FROM 230 BALLS.
Joe Rootc Nuwan Pradeep b Danushka Gunathilaka 65 54 9 0 120.37
21.3
D Gunathilaka to Joe Root, OUT! Taken! A soft dismissal. Down the leg side, Root looks to sweep but gets a top edge which goes aerially to short fine leg. Nuwan Pradeep completes the formalities. It is almost as if a mourning is going around at the Oval. It is dead silent. Root departs for 65 and the 149-run stand is broken. ENGLAND NEED 141 FROM 123 BALLS NOW.
Eoin Morgan (C)c Danushka Gunathilaka b Suranga Lakmal 22 27 0 1 81.48
29.6
S Lakmal to E Morgan, OUT! That's a ripper! Danushka displays his cat-like reflexes with that catch! Short ball outside off, Morgan plays the square cut and the ball races away through backward point. However, Gunathilaka, fielding over there, throws himself to his right and picks up a beauty. A good innings has been cut short by a wonderful catch.
