Shanaka to H Brook
One run. Dasun Shanaka to Harry Brook. Leg cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot working, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Silva. The players are heading off as the drizzle intensifies. England secure a victory, finishing ahead on the DLS method. Their chase began brightly, with openers Phil Salt and Jos Buttler making full use of the powerplay to set the tone. Tom Banton added fireworks with a rapid 29 off just 15 balls, keeping the momentum alive. Sri Lanka found some success through Eshan Malinga, who claimed two wickets, but it wasn't enough to derail England's charge. With rain having the final say, England walk away winners, while Sri Lanka will be eager to regroup and bounce back stronger in the next contest. Adil Rashid is the Player of the Match.
