इंग्लैंड vs श्रीलंका, पहला वनडे, रिवरसाइड ग्राउंड, चेस्टर-ली-स्ट्रीट, 22 September 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

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. Ben Duckett over there is well and has to track back. Duckett leaps up over his shoulder but the ball brushes his fingertips and lands on the toblerone.

FOUR! Hard length on off, angled back in. Wellalage stays leg side of the ball again and hammers it against the angle, up and over extra cover for a boundary.

Back of a length, in and around off stump. Wellalage stays back to defend.

A full ball around off, jammed towards cover for a single.

On a good length, shapes back in a bit from outside off. Chameera stays solid in defence.

FOUR! Tossed up from around the wicket, a bit full and around off. Wellalage sits down and nails the slog-sweep in front of mid-wicket and picks up another boundary.

FOUR MORE! That is sensational. Ahmed sees Wellalage setting up for the reverse sweep and drags the length back outside off. Wellalage waits well and powers it over backward point for another boundary. 150 up for Sri Lanka as well.

SIX! Wellalage has absolutely nailed that! A googly now, floated up around middle. Wellalage goes down on one knee, whacking it high nd long over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. 14 off the first 3 balls.

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.

Back of a length, angled across off. Wellalage guides it down to deep third for a single.

Fuller around off, tails back in slightly. Dushmantha Chameera makes a fine block off the front foot.

On a hard length, darted back in towards off. Chameera stays back and dabs it down to the right of point.

Back of a length and over off, Dushmantha Chameera presses back and nudges it down to point. Chameera looks fairly comfortable at the crease right now.

Gus goes fuller now, honing in on middle and leg. Chameera pushes it out to mid on.

Shorter around off, hit away off the back foot to sweeper cover for a single. Chameera will retain strike.

Flighted up around off, Dushmantha Chameera comes down the pitch and hits it to the right of Jamie Overton at mid off, pinching a quick single.

High-arm action, looping it up on off stump. Wellalage smothers it away through short third for a single.

Tossed up outside off, Chameers thinks about stepping out but adjusts and makes the block.

Jacks drags the length back, bowling it flat on off. Dushmantha Chameera hops back to defend.

Fuller one, floated up on off. Chameera just blocks it into the off side and gets a single.

On a length and outside off, dabbed away to deep backward point for one more. 99 needed now off 90 balls.

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.

Short and angled across off, Wellalage stays upright and steers it down to deep third for a single.

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

Banged in on a shorter length, over off. Dushmantha Chameera gets right behind the line to make another block.

Lovely shot. Much fuller this time and outside off, Dushmantha Chameera extends the arms and drives it past extra cover. Harry Brook chases it down as the batters get three runs.

FOUR! Not the most convincing shot, but Wellalage is keeping Sri Lanka in the hunt. A well-directed short ball over middle. Wellalage goes after it and gets a massive top edge that flies straight over the keeper's head for a boundary.

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.
