    Breaking

    A clip off the toes from Chris Jordan, and Sri Lanka will need 188 to win.

    It'll be a tough ask for the hosts but they bowled brilliantly in the closing stages after going around the park in the opening overs.

    Chris Jordan, who was not in the one-day squad and flew in to Sri Lanka earlier this week, is coming out to face one ball...

    Rashid b Udana 5 (Eng 185-8)

    There's a brief delay as Perera comes over for a chat with his bowler...

    And whatever he says works! A yorker from Isuru Udana, and Adil Rashid inside edges onto his stumps.

  4. Eng 185-7published at 19.4 overs

    Short, hit hard by Liam Plunkett, but it'll only bring him one run.

  5. Eng 184-7published at 19.3 overs

    A rank, leg side delivery from Udana and Liam Plunkett misses and runs.

    He turns and calls two, much to Adil Rashid's surprise, but the throw from the bowler is weak. Rashid manages to make his ground.

  6. Eng 182-7published at 19.2 overs

    Up and over from Adil Rashid, trying to drive, but the ball bounces just in front of the man on the boundary.

  7. Eng 181-7published at 19.1 overs

    Isuru Udana will bowl the final over - oh, and he's gone for four!

    Adil Rashid has, somehow, managed to get the ball down towards third man. Which, er, wasn't where he was aiming.

  8. Eng 177-7published at 19 overs

    Brilliant from Lasith Malinga, foxing Liam Plunkett with another slower ball.

    A swing and a miss from the England batsman. The last five overs have brought 36 runs and three wickets.

  9. Eng 173-7published at 18.5 overs

    Hello! Four!

    Liam Plunkett takes a slower ball from Lasith Malinga and thwacks it down the pitch for four.

  10. Eng 173-7published at 18.4 overs

    Close!

    A full yorker from Lasith Malinga and Liam Plunkett does very well to jab his bat down on it.

    It'll be Liam Plunkett to face the hat-trick ball...

    Stokes b Malinga 26 (Eng 173-7)

    Malinga is on a hat-trick!

    Ben Stokes backs away, and Malinga doesn't miss. A full, pacey delivery goes clattering into Stokes' off stump.

    Denly c K Mendis b Malinga 20 (Eng 173-6)

    A slower ball from Lasith Malinga and Joe Denly, deep in his crease, hoicks the ball into the hands of the man at long-on.

  14. Eng 173-5published at 18.1 overs

    A full toss from Malinga, and only a sprawling stop from Dhananjaya de Silva at square leg stops the ball racing away for four.

  15. Postpublished at 16:55 British Summer Time 27 October 2018

    Lasith Malinga will bowl the penultimate over. He's got Joe Denly in his sights.

    Stokes 26, Denly 18

    Joe Denly backs away, showing Isuru Udana his stumps, but he can only work another single.

    That brings an irked Ben Stokes on strike, and he's left even more annoyed as a huge heave into the leg side brings him just one. Just six singles conceded by Isuru Udana.

  18. Eng 168-5published at 17.3 overs

    A couple of singles start the over, before Ben Stokes waits on a slower ball that he ends up cracking into the leg side.

  19. Postpublished at 16:51 British Summer Time 27 October 2018

    Thisara Perera is keeping Lasith Malinga's final over up his sleeve.

    Here's Isuru Udana.

  20. Eng 165-5published at 17 overs

    Four more to end the over!

    Joe Denly doesn't quite nail his shot as he comes dancing down the pitch, but he gets enough bat on ball to carve it over the man at long-on and pick up another four.
