    Adam Reaney: Tuned in just in time to see that absolute ripper from Mo. You’re welcome

  2. SL 89-2published at 19 overs

    Kusal Mendis is the new man in and defends his first delivery.

    A top over from Moeen Ali. Can England strike again quickly?

    Got him!

    Dinesh Chandimal advances down the pitch at Moeen Ali but ends up somewhat yorking himself.

    The ball gets between bat and pad before turning sharply into off-stump.

    The Sri Lanka captain would've been stumped even if that hadn't bowled him. Moeen makes a crucial breakthrough with a fine delivery.

  4. SL 85-1published at 18 overs

    Hello. Chandimal goes for the switch-hit sweep - a fine shot but he only gets one for it.

    Dickwella gets four for that though - picking the googly, skipping down the track and smacking it down the ground to the fence. Shot!

    Big appeal as Adil Rashid drifts one into Niroshan Dickwella's pads. Close but just outside the line.

  7. drinks break

    SL 79-1published at 17 overs

    Dickwella 38, Chandimal 29

    Dickwella misses out on a reverse sweep and the ball strikes his leg before deflecting away to the boundary. There's an appeal for lbw but that was carrying on past leg stump.

    Six off the over - that's time for drinks.

  8. Not outpublished at 16.2 overs

    Dickwella dragged his foot, instead of lifting it off the ground and his toe was well in the crease. That's not out.

    But sharp work from Buttler and a terrific delivery round the wicket from Moeen to the left-hander.

  9. Third umpirepublished at 16.2 overs

    Moeen Ali fizzes one past the outside of Niroshan Dickwella, who loses his balance a touch.

    Jos Buttler whips off the bails as Dickwella stretches.

    They're going to have a look...

  10. SL 73-1published at 16 overs

    Leg-break - that's a paddlin'.

    Googly - that's a paddlin'.

    The paddle sweep continues to be the go-to shot against the spinners, with a few nudges off the pads thrown in for good measure.

    Sri Lanka tap four off Rashid's second over.

  11. SL 69-1published at 15 overs

    Dickwella 34, Chandimal 27

    Moeen Ali absolutely rips one from off to outside leg. It's turned so much it's a wide. Unlucky.

    Dickwella and Chandimal continue to accumulate nicely, rotating the strike with singles. They'll have to accelerate later on, of course.

    That's the 50 partnership up.

  12. SL 62-1published at 14 overs

    Dickwella brings out the pre-mediated scoop sweep but can only pick up one.

    Good start from Rashid, just three from the over.

  13. Postpublished at 06:12 British Summer Time 20 October 2018

    Double spin for England.

    Here's Adil Rashid...

  14. SL 59-1published at 13 overs

    More tidy stuff from Moeen Ali but this Sri Lankan pair are looking to counteract him with the sweep shot.

    Five singles from the over.

  15. SL 54-1published at 12 overs

    Dickwella 28, Chandimal 19

    Tom Curran looked more comfortable in the third ODI that was reduced to 21 overs a side - he could go to his impressive variations quicker then, whereas Sri Lanka are finding it easy to work his stock ball around for one and twos here.

    That's seven from the over, all in nudges and nurdles, except a pull shot from Chandimal that picks out the man at fine leg.

    Injuries that ruled you out of cricketpublished at 06:04 British Summer Time 20 October 2018

    Text 81111

    Several years ago our skipper Ed Wright was not amused when he took a phone call only a few hours before a match from our mercurial all-rounder Mike Ward, pulling out through injury. Mike had damaged his ankle in a freak Space Hopper accident that may have also had more than a little to do with alcohol...

    Yee-oh! Moeen Ali finds some turn and bounce to rip it past Dickwella's attempted paddle sweep.

    The opener then top edges one out towards square leg but it falls short.

    Moeen then turns it into Chandimal's pad - a brief appeal but not given. That hit the Sri Lanka captain outside the line.

    A good start from Moeen, with Chandimal just sweeping the last for a single.

  19. SL 44-1published at 10 overs

    Dickwella 23, Chandimal 14

    Just three more off Tom Curran's first over.

    That's the end of the first powerplay and Moeen Ali is coming into the attack...

  20. SL 41-1published at 9.1 overs

    Tom Curran is into the attack for Olly Stone...

    ...and Dinesh Chandimal greets him with a punchy drive through the covers for four. A long hop but punished superbly.
