SL vs ENG Live Cricket Score

43.2 OUT! Stumped! Nelson strikes for Mousley. A googly on off and middle, Dan skips down the track and looks to go downtown. He though fails to make any connection. Mishara behind the wicket collects the ball and whips the bails off. The centurion departs now. 222/5

0.4 OUT! Caught behind! Sri Lanka draw first blood early on. This is a very poor shot from Young. It is wide and outside off. Just the first over of the innings and Young throws his bat at it. The ball takes the outside edge and goes behind. Mishara behind the wicket does not make any mistake. He pouches and the Lankans appeal. The umpire agrees and Young departs for a 2-ball duck. Top start for Sri Lanka. 1/1

10.5 OUT! LBW! Thilakaratne strikes in his very first over and sends Cox back to the pavilion. He is not happy but he will have to go. A loopy ball on middle, Cox looks to flick but misses. The ball hits the back pad. The bowler and the keeper appeal and the umpire raises his finger. The 58-run stand is broken. 59/2

38 OUT! Caught! Daniel has his first and the huge stand is finally broken. A flighted ball just around off, Haynes comes down the track and look to clear the man at mid off. However, he does not get the elevation he wanted. It goes straight to Thilakaratne at mid off who makes no mistake. A fine innings from Haynes comes to an end. 201/3

38.3 OUT! Caught! Two in quick time for Sri Lanka. George Hill fails to make any mark in this game. A flighted ball on middle, Hill looks to flick but ends up chipping it towards Nipun Dhananjaya at short mid-wicket. The Lankan skipper dives forward and pouches the ball nicely. Sri Lanka with an opportunity to make a comeback and restrict England around 275. 202/4

50 OUT! Timber! Sri Lanka finish the innings with a wicket. A full ball on middle, Evison moves to the off side and looks to flick it over short fine leg but misses. The ball though does not miss its target and demolishes the stumps. 6 runs and a wicket off the final over. 279/7

48.3 OUT! Bowled 'em! Excellent bowling from Dilshan and he deserves this scalp. Bowls a length ball around off, Balderson looks to smash him through the off side but gets a thick inside edge. The ball then shatters the timber behind. 267/6

0.3 OUT! Caught! England strike in the first over, just like Sri Lanka. Paranavithana falls for a duck. It is a length ball on middle, Paranavithana looks to flick but the ball stops on the surface and hits the upper part of the bat. It lobs straight to Hamidullah Qadri at mid-wicket. He takes the catch easily and an early blow to Sri Lanka. Ravindu Rasantha is the new man in for the Lankans. 1/1

6.5 OUT! LBW! Goldsworthy strikes in his first over! A flatter delivery this time by Goldsworthy, angling in. Mishara looks to go back and work this one towards the leg side but misses and he is hit on the back pad. The England players appeal and up goes the dreaded finger. That looks plumb to the naked eye, crashing into middle and leg. Mishara walks back after a disappointing knock. 46/2

28.4 OUT! LBW! There goes the half centurion and this should be the final nail in the coffin. It is again a quicker ball which goes straight. Rasantha plays down the wrong line to miss the ball and gets hit dead in front of the stumps. The English players appeal and the umpire raises his finger quickly. Goldsworthy has his third of the innings. England just two away from clinching this Plate final. 122/8

8.3 OUT! RUN OUT! This is really unlucky for the Lankan skipper. He walks off with disbelief on his face. England would not care though. A full ball outside off, Nipul squeezes it towards point and takes off for a single. Mousley there gets to the ball, picks it up and fires the throw at the non-striker's end. He hits and the third umpire has been called for. Replays roll in and show that while completing the run, Dananjaya got into a tangle with the bowler, Goldsworthy. That stopped Dananjaya in his stride. Did Dananjaya drag his bat down in time? He did that while getting inside the crease but as the ball hit the stumps, the bat again went up in the air. The third umpire takes his time to check with a few angles and then in the end signals it out. 55/3

10.4 OUT! LBW! Goldsworthy has his second. Full ball on middle, Wickramasinghe goes down to sweep but misses it completely. Wickramasinghe is hit on the pads. The England players appeal and the umpire agrees instantly. Another wicket goes down for Sri Lanka and the situation is going from bad to worse from them. Sonal Dinusha is the new man in for Sri Lanka. 67/4

14.2 OUT! RUN OUT! Bull's eye from Haynes! Dinusha is sold a dummy down the river though. A length ball on middle, Rasantha works it towards mid-wicket and calls for the run. Sonal responds and takes off too but Rasantha sends him back. Dinusha backtracks and tries to get back in but Haynes from mid-wicket scores a direct hit. No need to go to the third umpire for this one as Sonal is not even in the frame. Tough luck for the non-striker. Half the side back in the hut for Sri Lanka. 77/5

24 OUT! RUN OUT! Fantastic work from Jordan Cox. Another wicket falls in the form of a run out. This is again an unfortunate way to get out. It is a length ball on middle, Wijesinghe flicks it towards deep mid-wicket and calls for a couple straightaway. They run the first one hard and as Wijesinghe returns for the second, he slips and loses his shoes too. The fielder from the deep throws the ball to the keeper. Cox collects the ball coming forward nicely and whips the bails off quickly. The square leg umpire refers it upstairs. The replays roll in and show that Wijesinghe is well short. The third run out of the innings and the Lankans are throwing this game away. 110/6

26 OUT! LBW! Thilakaratne has been dismissed and Rasantha is running out of partners here. Good length ball just around off, angling into Thilakaratne. He shuffles across and looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. The England players appeal and up goes the finger after some thought. It looks like the ball would have gone on to hit the top of middle and leg pole. England just 3 wickets away from victory now. 116/7

30.3 OUT! LBW! There's number 4 for Goldsworthy and now he will surely be looking for his 5-fer. Nadeeshan is not happy but Goldsworthy won't care. A full ball on middle, Nadeeshan looks to reverse sweep but he cannot connect with it. He is hit flush on the pads. They appeal and the umpire agrees. The replays roll in and show Nadeeshan got a glove there during the reverse sweep. No wonder why Nadeeshan reacted in the way he did after the umpire raised his finger. 123/9

31 OUT! Caught! Goldsworthy has bagged his 5-fer and he is absolutely delighted. What a brilliant performance from him! He bowls a loopy ball around off, Dilshan this time targets to go over the mid off region but ends up mistiming it. The ball goes straight to Aldridge at mid off. He pouches it comfortably and ENGLAND ARE THE 2020 UNDER-19 PLATE CHAMPIONS! 127/10
