Overton la D Wellalage
Two runs. Jamie Overton to Dunith Wellalage. Off cutter length ball, down leg side on the front foot Slog, mis-timed to deep backward square leg for 2 runs, fielded by Ahmed. That brings us to the end of the first innings, and Sri Lanka have recovered admirably to post a competitive total despite an early top-order collapse. Kusal Mendis and Janith Liyanage steadied the ship with a crucial partnership that turned the momentum in the hosts' favour. Liyanage fell agonisingly short of a well-deserved half-century, dismissed for 46, while Kusal Mendis anchored the innings superbly and remains unbeaten on a commanding 93. Dunith Wellalage's later cameo helps them to go past 270+ runs for the hosts. For England, the spinners were impressive from the outset, operating in tandem to apply sustained pressure. They combined to bowl 33 overs, with Adil Rashid leading the way, picking up three important wickets. The question now is whether England's batting line-up can rise to the challenge in the run chase, or if Sri Lanka's bowling attack can exploit the conditions and defend the total to seal victory. Stay with us as the chase unfolds.
