Adil Rashid to Dilshan Madushanka, out Bowled!! All-over, England clinch their 12th straight win over Sri Lanka in T20I cricket.

Adil Rashid to Dasun Shanaka, out Caught by Tom Banton!! That's a brilliant piece of fielding from Jacks and that should be the end for Sri Lanka. Pin drop silence engulfs Pallekele as Sri Lanka lose their 8th wicket. Was a fraction short and Shanaka backed himself to clear the long boundary with the pull - he struck it sweetly enough, but Will Jacks runs to his left at deep mid-wicket, takes the catch right in front of the ropes. He realises that he's going over, so he calmly flicks it towards wide long-on where Tom Banton is at hand to take the rebound. Dasun Shanaka c Tom Banton b Adil Rashid 30(24) [4s-1 6s-2]
