Thanks for joining us on the blog today. Until next time, it's goodbye!

After building some unnecessary pressure upon themselves by taking the game to the final ball, Kapugedara kept his cool and pierced one through the covers for the win. Sri Lanka have taken a 1-0 lead in the 3-match series. Asela Gunaratne awarded Man of the Match. He was the real hero for the visitors with a brilliant half-century under pressure.

A good over from Faulkner has taken this game to the final over. Andrew Tye will bowl it. Can he pull off a heist?

Prasanna played the role of a finisher pretty well in South Africa. With him there, SL should see this off, no problem.

Gunaratne departs after getting stumped off a failed reverse sweep. Sri Lanka need 18 off 17. Surely they can't botch this from here, can they? As I write this, there's another wicket. Siriwardana is out LBW, or let's say he's adjudged LBW, off Turner. Double strike!

The right-hander has delivered under pressure, and how. A brilliant fifty off just 34 balls. He is leading SL to victory. Just 18 needed in the last 3 overs.

Gunaratne and Siriwardana lead a brilliant recovery with an enterprising partnership to put Sri Lanka back on course
