    England didn't have everything their own way today but some moments of individual brilliance, started by Buttler with the bat, will give them plenty of confidence heading into the knockout stages.

    That should be enough to get England through to the semi-finals.

    ENGLAND WIN BY 26 RUNS!published at 19 overs

    Theekshana c Jordan b Moeen 2 (SL 137)

    That's a very good win for England, sealed as Theekshana lofts Moeen to Chris Jordan in the deep.

    England are all but through to the semi-finals. Sri Lanka are pretty much out.

  5. SL 137-9published at 18.5 overs

    Target 164

    Maheesh Theekshana carves a couple through mid-wicket.

  6. SL 135-9published at 18.4 overs

    Whoops.

    Moeen misfields in his follow through and Kumara snaffles a single.

    It has worked out alright for England. But I do think it was a mistake that Chris Woakes finished that Tymal Mills over.

  8. SL 134-9published at 18.3 overs

    Lahiru Kumara is the last man for Sri Lanka, and he rather hoicks at a dot ball first up.

    Surely that is the end of Sri Lanka?

    Karunaratne c Roy b Moeen 0 (SL 134-9)

    Walloped to Jason Roy at long-on!

  11. SL 134-8published at 18.1 overs

    Dot ball first up.

  12. Postpublished at 17:36 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2021

    The penultimate over, and it'll be Moeen Ali to bowl it.

  13. Postpublished at 17:36 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2021

    Sri Lanka need 30 runs from 12 balls.

    That is a straightforward catch. He got plenty of it so he'll feel cruck about that.

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 18 overs

    Chameera c Malan b Jordan 4 (SL 134-8)

    And that, you'd think, is that.

    Dushmantha Chameera goes for a huge have into the leg side and ends up whacking it straight into Dawid Malan's mitts on the rope.

    Kevin Ticehurst: Buttler that is simply outrageous. Is there anything you can’t do right now?!

  18. SL 134-7published at 17.5 overs

    That's four!

    It's about as convincing as a very unconvincing thing, as Dushmantha Chameera swings hard and sends a thick outside edge through a vacant slip region and into the boundary.

  19. SL 130-7published at 17.4 overs

    Another dot as Chameera swings at fresh air.
