Floated up from wider on the crease, trying to drift it in. Dushmantha Chameera defends it off.

Tossed up wide of the off stump. Chameera steps out and clips it down to long on for a single.

OUT! CAUGHT! That should be the final nail in the coffin for Sri Lanka. Will Jacks comes around the wicket to the left-hander, hanging it up on a length, getting it to drift as well. Dunith Wellalage skips down the track and gives it an almighty hoick but miscues it high towards mid on. Jamie Overton over there takes a few steps back and pouches it safely. Wellalage's counter-punch comes to an end and England are just two wickets way from the win now.

Oh, that's turned a mile. On a length and well outside off. Asitha Fernando looks to defend it off the back foot but the ball turns past the blade and hits the pads.

OUT! CAUGHT! Will Jacks is putting on a match-winning display here as he gets his fourth wicket. This is tossed up, fuller and turning into the stumps. Asitha Fernando clears the front leg, goes down on one knee and swings with the spin. However, Fernando gets more height than distance and the ball sails to wide long on. Tom Banton gets under it and takes it nicely to his right. Sri Lanka 176/9, and on the verge on being bowled out.

OUT! TIMBER! That's it, it's all over. What a beauty from Will Jacks to round off proceedings with a maiden ODI five-wicket haul. Flighted ball wide of the off stump, Jacks gets the ball to drift and dip and spin a mile. Dilshan Madushanka gets a stride out to defend, but the ball turns in big and goes through the huge gap between bat and pad to knock over the off stump. England win by 89 runs.

Good length, over middle, just nibbling away. Wellalage presses back and defends it to point. The fielder has an unnecessary shy at the bowler's end and the ball deflects off the stumps, but no run is conceded.

On the shorter side again, Chameera rises with the bounce and taps it down to cover-point.

Pushed through quicker and fuller around off, Wellalage blocks it off.

Good stop in the deep, but that's good running as well. Flatter one, cut away off the back foot well to the right of Joe Root at deep cover-point. Root races across the turf and palms the ball back in, but can't stop the batters from picking up three runs.

A flighted googly, on off and turning in. Chameera leans on to block and gets an inside edge onto the pads.

Very full and slanted in towards middle and leg. Wellalage toe-ends it down the deck. He then checks his bat for damage, but all is fine.

SIX! Just over the fielder and straight onto the ropes. The first biggie of the game. Good-length delivery at the stumps, Wellalage backs away and smears it towards deep point.

Flatter one around off, Wellalage rocks back and punches it through covers for one.

OUT! LBW! An appeal for LBW, and it's been given. Sachindu Colombage isn't happy but Sri Lanka don't have any reviews left and he has to walk back. A big googly from Rehan Ahmed. Bowled flatter and darted back into the stumps. Colombage goes for the sweep but misses and gets hit on the pads. It is fairly low, so height isn't an issue, and Ball Tracking later shows that it would hav just clipped the leg stump. Good decision from the umpire

However, the UltraEdge shows no spike when the ball passes the batter's glove, and the Ball Tracking detects that the ball is hitting the middle stump.
