ENG vs SL Live Cricket Score

4.4 OUT! TAKEN! That is a poor stroke by Pathum Nissanka! David Llyod calls it a 'cunning plan' on air! So, Chris Woakes bowls a nice slower one, it is also short in length and outside off. It deserves to be dispatched to the fence. Pathum Nissanka realizes this and goes for it, but he gets it off the toe end of the blade and Moeen Ali takes an easy catch at mid-wicket. 23/1

32.2 OUT! TAKEN! The skipper goes as England are well on top now! Length ball, outside off. Perera decides to test these big square boundaries and looks to go over mid-wicket. He hits it quite well but not well enough to clear the ropes. Sam Billings takes it with ease and a very, very good knock by Kusal Perera comes to an end. 152/7

5.5 OUT! TAKEN! The debut is not a good one for Charith Asalanka! David Willey drags his length just a bit and bowls it in the corridor of uncertainty. There is some extra bounce on that one, plus Charith Asalanka played it away from his body. So, all he gets is the outside edge. Joe Root takes a good catch to his left at first slip. 24/2

8.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! This is an absolute JAFFA! Dasun Shanaka couldn't do anything about it. Chris Woakes strikes again and gets his second man of the day. He is rattling the new batsmen, and not letting them settle at all. Serves a length ball, on off, this one nips away. Shanaka looks to defend it but fails, as the ball takes the outside edge and flies to the right of Jonny Bairstow. The man with the gloves takes it with ease. 46/3

28.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Hasaranga was tempted with the height and he goes after it, but it proved to be costly. And look, it is Chris Woakes again, it is his third wicket for the day. He gets the main breakthrough, this is what the English side were after. Serves a short ball, on off, Hasaranga looks to pull it away but does not middle it. Infact, he hits it with the lower end of the bat. He was not in control of the shot. The ball flies high towards square leg. Liam Livingstone covers a lot of ground as he runs forward to his right and takes the catch with a forward slide. A composed innings by Wanindu Hasaranga comes to an end. 145/4

30.3 OUT! TAKEN! Not a day for debutants! First, Charith Asalanka went for a duck and now, Dhananjaya Lakshan goes back too! On the other hand, Chris Woakes is having a great day with the ball! Bowls it on a length, outside off. Lakshan looks to punch it but his feet go nowhere. He gets the outside edge and Joe Root takes a good catch at first slip, diving to his left. 149/5

31.5 OUT! LBW! It is umpire's call and Ramesh Mendis is gone! Tossed up, outside off. Mendis plants his foot forward to defend but the ball turns and hits his pad. He is struck on the front pad and that too right in the front of the middle stump. The umpire gives it a long hard thought before raising his finger. Mendis reviews this but it is umpire's call on hitting. 152/6

36.1 OUT! CAUGHT! David Willey gets into the action now, as he strikes for the third time. A slower short ball, on off, Binura Fernando hits it awkwardly towards the leg side. The ball goes in the air and towards Moeen Ali at mid-wicket, who strides forward and takes an easy catch to send back Fernando. Now it is a matter of time till the bowlers rattle out the tail-enders. 160/8

40.2 OUT! RUN OUT! This was on the cards! Length ball, on the pads. Dushmantha Chameera gets hit on the pads and the ball rolls to the off side. Now, Chamika Karunaratne is eager to get on the strike and runs past Dushmantha Chameera. The bails are taken off at the bowler's ends and Chameera is gone. 170/9

42.3 OUT! RUN OUT! Oh my word, that is incredible by Sam Billings! Length ball, on off. Chamika Karunaratne tucks it to the mid-wicket region. Sam Billings runs in from the fence, collects the ball and nails the throw at the bowler's end. The umpire knows that the batsman is out and raises his finger. Sri Lanka end at 185! 185/10

6 OUT! BOWLED! Dragged on! The Jonny Bairstow show comes to an end! 43 runs in 21 balls! Phew, what a knock he has played. Back of a length ball, there is not enough width still he goes for the cut. The ball takes the inside edge and hits the leg pole. 127 needed in 44 overs now. 59/2

4.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Livingstone looks to go big but does not hit it cleanly and has to walk back to the shed. Sri Lanka get their first breakthrough, courtesy Chamika Karunaratne. Serves a short ball, on off, Liam Livingstone looks to heave it away but does not middle. He gets the leading edge and the ball flies towards the man at mid on, Dushmantha Chameera. Who takes an easy catch to depart the batsman. The new role of Liam Livingstone coming up the order does not last for long. 54/1

9.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! An excellent delivery to get rid of Morgan! Chameera bowls it on a length, right on the off pole. He is coming over the wicket so the ball goes with the angle and takes the outside edge while Morgan looks to defend. Kusal Perera takes it with ease. The umpire waits for a while but raises his finger eventually. 74/3

11.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Very good catch by Wanindu Hasaranga and England in a little bit of bother here. Chameera goes slightly fuller this time around off. Billings looks to play it on the up but gets it off the outer half of his bat. It goes uppishly towards backward point. Wanindu Hasaranga there dives in front and takes a very good catch. England in a little bit of bother here but they still have a lot of batting to come. 106 still needed. 80/4

31.5 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Moeen Ali battled hard but has to depart. Dushmantha Chameera pitches it up around off, Moeen Ali looks to heave it to the leg side. He gets an inside edge and the ball drags back onto the stumps. An unlucky dismissal but he has to walk back to the pavilion. Chameera continues to impress. 171/5
