خروج بالإمساك. OUT! Caught. Pramod Madushan to Jamie Overton. Reverse Swing-In full toss, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to extra cover, caught by Wellalage. That's it. Sri Lanka take the early advantage in the series with a last-over victory in this opening encounter. England began the chase on a steady note, despite losing Zak Crawley early, as Ben Duckett and Joe Root forged a solid partnership. However, the regular loss of wickets at crucial intervals stalled the chase and kept England under constant pressure. Jamie Overton's late fireworks briefly reignited England's hopes, but in the end, they fell just short of the target. Credit must go to the Sri Lankan bowlers, particularly the spinners, who bowled with discipline, controlled the middle overs, and never allowed the batters to settle. Their ability to keep things tight ultimately proved decisive, as the hosts sealed a well-deserved win. Dunith Wellalage is the Player of the Match.
