ENG vs SL Live Cricket Score

13.2 OUT! TAKEN! Kasun Rajitha strikes now! Jonny Bairstow goes back to the hut now. Rajitha bangs this short and around middle, Jonny Bairstow uses his feet to slap it away but gets cramped for room and ends up mistiming his shot in the air towards mid on where Dhananjaya de Silva moves to his right to take a good catch. England three down now! 68/3

6.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Dawid Malan departs as the experience of Angelo Mathews pays off. Back of a length on top of off, Dawid Malan looks to open the face of his bat and run this down to third man region but gets a faint edge as the ball lands in the gloves of Kusal Mendis behind the stumps. The umpire was unmoved initially but the fielding side opted for a review and the ultra-edge showed a spike as the ball was next to the bat of Dawid Malan. 45/1

9.4 OUT! OH-DEAR ME! Miscommunication between the two experienced heads of English cricket led to the early dismissal of Joe Root. Short of a length around off, Joe Root hops back and cuts this well but finds Angelo Mathews at point. Joe Root runs for it but Jonny Bairstow doesn't respond positively after taking a few steps forward and denies the single. Angelo Mathews collects the ball and throws it on top of the stumps as Kusal Mendis does the rest. The T.V. umpire is asked to confirm the decision and Joe Root was well short of his crease. 57/2

30.1 OUT! TAKEN! A massive blow for England! Lahiru Kumara gets the big fish, Ben Stokes. Kumara bangs this into the pitch and around middle, Ben Stokes goes for the pull shot but fails to get on top of the bounce and hits it in the air towards deep mid-wicket where Dushan Hemantha (Sub) pouches it safely. England eight down now! 137/8

14.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A fantastic catch behind the stumps and the English skipper goes for yet another low score. Lahiru Kumara lands this on a good length and around off, nips away a shy bit, Jos Buttler tries to push it away with hard hands and only manages to get an outside edge behind where Kusal Mendis flies to his right to take a stunning catch. England are in a spot of bother now! 77/4

17 OUT! LBW! Another one bites the dust as the hole dugs deeper for England. On a length angling in towards the batter, Liam Livingstone looks to play across the line but misses out completely as the ball sneaks past his bat and bumps into his pads. Loud appeal by the fielding side and the umpire gives Liam Livingstone his marching orders. Liam Livingstone asks for a DRS and the ball tracker suggest umpire's call on ball hitting the stumps. 85/5

24.4 OUT! TAKEN! Angelo Mathews gets his second wicket! Moeen Ali goes back after a run-a-ball knock. This is back of a length and around off, slower too, Moeen Ali looks to punch it away but ends up lobbing it straight into the hands of Kusal Perera at point who makes no mistake. England six down now! 122/6

25.5 OUT! TAKEN! Sadeera Samarawickrama takes a stunner to remove Chris Woakes. On a length way outside off, Chris Woakes reaches out to it and slices this towards point as Sadeera Samarawickrama gets low to his left and collects this. The umpires are uncertain if Sadeera Samarawickrama he picked it up cleanly or not, as the umpires on field converge to seek help from the third umpire. The T.V. replay suggests that the fingers were underneath the ball as Sadeera Samarawickrama collects this. A brave call from the third umpire but the correct one more importantly. Chris Woakes has to walk back. 123/7

32 OUT! RUN OUT! Great presence of mind from Kusal Mendis! Maheesh Theekshana fires this one down the leg side, David Willey misses his glance and Kusal Mendis collect it. He sees that Adil Rashid is wondering out of his crease at the non-striker's end and hits bullseye with Rashid not able to get his bat inside. The replay confirms the same. England nine down now! 147/9

33.2 OUT! Stamp of humiliation on the English side as Maheesh Theekshana takes the last one. Fuller one, a bit quicker outside off, Mark Wood opts to step out of his crease and go big but fails to get any part of his bat behind this one with Kusal Mendis collecting this behind the wicket and removing the bails in a flash. England are bundled out inside 34 over for just 156 runs. 156/10

1.5 OUT! TAKEN! David Willey draws first blood. Kusal Perera was struggling on this length and he finally succumbs. David Willey bowls it on the hard length and in line with the off pole. Kusal Perera tried to play it on the leg side but the leading edge sent the ball straight up in the air. Ben Stokes does well to run in from mid off and take a safe catch. England have their first breakthrough. 9/1

5.2 OUT! TAKEN! David Willey gets another one! He serves this one full and swinging away down the leg stump. Kusal Mendis tries to flick it away but edges it into the air. Jos Buttler wants it as he runs a long way back but completes a safe catch with his gloves on. Kusal Mendis has to depart and England have got two important wickets. 23/2
