Sri Lanka vs England, 2nd ODI, England tour of Sri Lanka 2026 - Highlights

Root to Asitha Fernando, out Caught&Bowled!! Fernando gone first ball and that's the innings done. 219 is what Sri Lanka have managed. Slow and loopy from round the wicket, he leans back for a big shot and miscues it off a thick leading edge. Root takes it comfortably. Asitha Fernando c and b Root 0(1)

Root to Wellalage, out Caught by Sam Curran!! Holes out in the deep! Dances down for a big shot, gets to the pitch and hits it hard. But probably doesn't get hold of it as well as he would've liked. Curran moves across at long-on for the catch. Wellalage c Sam Curran b Root 20(19) [4s-2]

Rehan Ahmed to Wellalage, FOUR, Wellalage finishes the over well for Sri Lanka! Googly down leg, he gets low and sweeps hard past short fine

Rehan Ahmed to Vandersay, no run, turning away off a good length, Vandersay tries a reverse-sweep and misses. Review taken for caught behind by England! Was that off the glove? Nothing on UltraEdge, onfield decision is upheld

Rehan Ahmed to Pramod, out Stumped!! Outfoxes him! Flat and on the shorter side, Madushan is nowhere close to the pitch after advancing and there's sharp turn on the legbreak. He's beaten comprehensively and Buttler does the rest. Pramod st Buttler b Rehan Ahmed 7(11)

Will Jacks to Wellalage, FOUR, pulls off the reverse-sweep! Gets into position early, finds it on a good length outside off and swipes it over the fielder at short third

Dawson to Wellalage, 1 run, dropped! Swept in the air, the fielder runs in from the deep, not a simple catch as it was dying on him, but Jacks should've taken it

Will Jacks to Pawan Rathnayake, out Caught by Dawson!! This time Jacks gets the better of Rathnayake. Again he comes dancing down, but unlike the previous boundary he scored, he isn't trying to go straight. Rather tries a swipe across the line and slices it off the outside half. Simple catch to Dawson at long-off. Pawan Rathnayake c Dawson b Will Jacks 29(34) [4s-3]

Will Jacks to Pawan Rathnayake, FOUR, dances down and hammers this straight back! Was tossed up outside off and Rathnayake's footwork set it up for him

Will Jacks to Wellalage, no run, England review for LBW! It's a ripper from Jacks. Sharp turn from round the wicket, squares him up in the crease and hits the back pad. But the ball has pitched outside leg

Adil Rashid to Asalanka, out Caught by Duckett!! Swept hard but straight to deep midwicket. Tossed up outside off, he goes for the big shot but doesn't get much elevation. Flat and straight to Duckett in the deep. Asalanka c Duckett b Adil Rashid 45(64) [4s-1]

Jamie Overton to Janith Liyanage, out Caught by Adil Rashid!! Pace into the attack after a long time and he strikes. Second wicket for Overton. It's a length ball angling in towards leg, Liyanage gets inside the line to play an aerial flick. Rashid, at fine leg, dives forward to snaffle it with both hands inches above the ground. Liyanage looked to be positive and his innings comes to a premature end. Janith Liyanage c Adil Rashid b Jamie Overton 12(11) [4s-2]

Dawson to Asalanka, 1 run, taps this length ball towards point

Rehan Ahmed to Janith Liyanage, FOUR, tries to repeat the shot he played off the previous delivery. Gets a top-edge on this occasion and the ball goes fine of the man at 45. Liyanage has come out with a positive intent

Dawson to Janith Liyanage, FOUR, Liyanage wastes no time. Dances down the ground, converts this in-drifter into a half-volley and brings his bottom hand into play to whip it over wide mid-on

Dawson to Dhananjaya, out Caught by Root!! Liam Dawson breaks the 66-run stand. Flighted delivery, full in length, Dhananjaya crouches a bit to swing it across the line. Doesn't get the necessary elevation and Root takes a smart, low catch at midwicket. Survived a run-out chance a couple of balls earlier but doesn't take advantage of it. Dhananjaya c Root b Dawson 40(59) [4s-4]

Dawson to Dhananjaya, 1 run, tossed up ball, full in length, Dhananjaya drives to the left of bowler. Dawson half-stops with a dive. The batters decide to go for a risky single.

Rehan Ahmed to Dhananjaya, 1 run, push-drives this full ball to long-off and the single brings up Sri Lanka's 100

Will Jacks to Dhananjaya, FOUR, overpitched delivery outside off, Dhananjaya leans across and drives sweetly through the covers. Changed to round the wicket and doled out a half-volley

Dawson to Kusal Mendis, out Kusal Mendis Run Out!! England are celebrating. They think they've got their man and Mendis is walking off too. Slightly short outside off, he cuts wide of backward point and sets off but Jacks makes a superb diving stop to his right. It creates a mix-up in the running with Mendis sent back from halfway down. He's well short of his crease despite a big dive. It wasn't just the diving stop, Jacks was quick to release the throw as well. Superb work. Kusal Mendis run out (Will Jacks/Buttler) 26(45) [4s-2]

Dawson to Dhananjaya, FOUR, just a gentle tuck through midwicket and the placement is so good that he gets four for it. Was a desperate diving effort from long-on, tried flicking it back but failed

Adil Rashid to Nissanka, out Caught by Will Jacks!! Beaten in the flight and gone! His bottom hand came off while going for the drive, a clear indication that he was through the shot too early as the ball dipped on him. Nicely done by Rashid. Tossed it up in the mid-70kph range, and Nissanka ends up chipping it down to long-off. Nissanka c Will Jacks b Adil Rashid 26(37) [4s-2 6s-1]

Jacob Bethell to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, drifting down leg, error in line and Mendis gets it away to the boundary. Managed to sweep it very fine past the keeper

Jamie Overton to Kamil Mishara, out Caught by Duckett!! Taken on the second attempt! Full and wide, Mishara reaches out to drive and hits it in the air to short cover. Duckett jumps and gets both hands but it pops out. He hangs onto the rebound though while falling to the floor. Not sure if it was the slower one from Overton but it seemed to have disturbed the top surface. Kamil Mishara c Duckett b Jamie Overton 5(12) [4s-1]

Jamie Overton to Kamil Mishara, FOUR, straying on the pads, he looks to clip it away and it runs away fine off a thick inside edge
