  • Suranga Lakmal3 (4b)
  • Nuwan Pradeep2 (2b)
  • David Willey10-0-55-1
  • Chris Woakes10-1-34-3

So, England will need 249 to secure an unassailable 2-0 series lead. They chased 255 without much in the way of alarms two days ago ... back in 40 mins for the resumption

Willey to Lakmal, 2 runs, yorker length slower ball, slapped without power into the deep. Jordan's shy is unusually poor and so Sri Lanka survive a last-ball run-out, but that does not feel like enough runs for a pitch like this
49.5
0
Willey to Lakmal, no run, turns his stance around in an attempt to flick over fine leg, but no contact
49.4
1
Willey to Pradeep, 1 run, clobbered into the covers, a big wind-up but he clothed his shot

marcel: "wow woakes just conceded one single boundary in 10 overs" ... and finished with two wickets in two balls. A fine day's work

49.3

Willey to Lakmal, 1 run, cracked out to the leg-side

1
Willey to Pradeep, 1 run, hoofed up and over the bowler's head, lots of sound and fury but the ball barely goes anywhere
