- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 takes the edge, pocketed at first slip by Thain! The first wicket falls 38/16.6 sharp hands at short backward square! Another bouncer, Thisara swings through the pull and Moore stands tall, quite literally, to swallow the chance without moving 40/213.4 Holes out in the deep! Credit to Benkenstein there, he was signalling to Fonseka to move a little deeper before the short ball came in, and in the end he was perfectly placed to swallow the chance 65/338.4 top-edged on the sweep, plops into the hands of Cornwall at short backward square, whose half-chance wasn't costly. The end of a fighting innings 205/528.5 Benkenstein makes amends! Nailed on the pads, up goes the finger. A doughty innings but it falls short of a deserved fifty 138/449.5 has a huge swipe and is bowled.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 leans back for the cut, and spoons a simple chance to backward point! Fonseka drops to his haunches, Sri Lanka are cock-a-hoop, they recognise that's a big breakthrough 39/26.4 round the wicket, McCann rocks back to cut but the ball just keeps sliding on and knocks back his stumps 39/130.5 bowled him! Quite the riposte from Praveen, full length, tight line, Thain plays around it, and after a good stand, England are back up against it 163/513.4 hoisted high down the ground, but long-on is hurtling round and judges his catch well! England sink further 67/329.4 launched into the deep, but that doesn't have the legs required! Straight to deep midwicket, and Sri Lanka break through 157/437.5 goes for another big launch through the line, but this one loops to mid-off. England's last hope is sunk 195/732.5 Praveen's skiddy lengths do for another one! Mustard is anchored on the back foot, tries to chop down late but the ball is already through him 169/642.6 launched down the throat of long-off, who judges his running catch well, on the boundary's edge 228/938.1 lobbed back to the bowler, that's a bit tame. This is all but done now 196/843.3 runs it across the left-hander, pings the top of off. Sri Lanka wrap up a handsome 65-run win 229/9Extras10 (lb 5, w 5)TOTAL229 all out (43.3 Overs, RR: 5.26)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Freddie McCann, 6.4 ov), 2-39 (Keshana Fonseka, 7.3 ov), 3-67 (Charlie Allison, 13.4 ov), 4-157 (Luc Benkenstein, 29.4 ov), 5-163 (Noah Thain, 30.5 ov), 6-169 (Haydon Mustard, 32.5 ov), 7-195 (Rocky Flintoff, 37.5 ov), 8-196 (Farhan Ahmed, 38.1 ov), 9-228 (Harry Moore, 42.6 ov), 10-229 (Noah Cornwell, 43.3 ov)
