  1. SL 151-2

    Target 157

    There are some very, very dejected England players out there. All good things come to an end and all that.

  2. SL 148-2

    Target 157

    Less than 10 needed.

    Can we send Mr Stokes off to get his knee sorted now?

  4. SL 146-2

    Target 157

    Samarawickrama reverse-sweeps Moeen for four. Sri Lanka are taking the mickey now.

  5. SL 142-2

    Target 157

    Not enough international sports stadiums have a children's playground.

  6. Matthew Henry

    Trip to the kids playground behind the stands, anyone?

  7. SL 135-2

    Target 157

    This could happen quickly now. Chris Woakes, who has struggled throughout, serves up a full toss that Samarawickrama whips for four.

    Is there an inside story of some kind, a fractured camp, malaise in the dressing room? This isn't the gradual decline of an ageing team or an inability to maintain consistent winning form, this is abject failure. Heroes to zeroes.

    50 for Samarawickrama

    SL 130-2

    A half-century for Sadeera Samarawickrama. A very good knock, especially because he came in at such a tricky time.

    This is going to be extremely controversial, but... would Joe Root like a go? He is very experienced and committed to his white ball game. He seems very desperate right now. These things just sometimes need a try.

  11. SL 129-2

    Target 157

    England did win a World Cup in Australia this time last year, Matt. Get back in your box.

    It’s been a tough 12 months for English sports fans. And as a foreigner, I’ve loved every bit of it.

  13. SL 124-2

    Target 157

    In terms of a world-beating side falling apart, it reminds me of the 2013-14 Ashes. And England have still got four matches to play after this. The 100 partnership is up between Nissanka and Samarawickrama.

    A lot of people completely missing the point re England this year IMO. I don't think anyone is furious we aren't gonna win consecutive world cups. It's the fact we've been completely and utterly hammered in 4 matches out of 5 that rankles. Is simply unacceptable that a team with the resources we do should have performed like we have.

  15. SL 119-2

    Target 157

    Thanks, Sam. This has been absolutely, awful, hasn't it?

  16. SL 118-2

    Target 157

    Moeen Ali is into the attack, the Sri Lanka batters milk him for five from the over and this game continues to drift towards its inevitable conclusion.

    To take you the rest of the way, it's over to Stephan Shemilt.

  17. Paul Farbrace
    Former England assistant coach on BBC Test Match Special

    It's a been very good pitch, there's no demons in the surface. Maybe in England's innings it looked a fraction slower.

    I think these two Sri Lankans have played exceptionally well, looked very calm and knocked the ball around - they're coasting home to victory.

  18. SL 113-2

    Target 157

    The looks on the faces of the England players tell you the story. A mixture of anger and confusion at how this has happened.

    They're certainly not the only ones wondering about that.

  19. SL 110-2

    Target 157

    Mark Wood beats the bat to end the over and throws his arms up in frustration.

    Sri Lanka need only 47 more runs to win. This one shouldn't last too much longer, mercifully for England.

  20. How's stat?!

    Nissanka started the tournament with a three-ball duck, this is his fourth consecutive fifty.
