That should be enough to get England through to the semi-finals.
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.
Target 164
Maheesh Theekshana carves a couple through mid-wicket.
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.
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!
Dot ball first up.
The penultimate over, and it'll be Moeen Ali to bowl it.
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.
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?!
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.
Another dot as Chameera swings at fresh air.
