Lasith Embuldeniya to Dom Sibley, Beaten! Very good ball. Lands it on a full length around middle and off, it pitches and goes away. Beats the outside edge of Sibley as he strode forward to block that.
Drinks break. Well, just 64 is what England need now, to win the series. But then, Sri Lanka will make sure that they make the English players sweat it out for that. The hosts were looking dead and buried with Root out in the middle. But, once they got Root, Lawrence followed, and Sri Lanka were in with a chance. Now, Buttler is someone who will play his shots and that provides them with an opportunity. Can they get him and keep chipping at the wickets or will this partnership seal the deal for England? Let's find out now...

Lasith Embuldeniya to Dom Sibley, Brilliant work there, from Dilruwan, at deep cover. Shortish length ball, outside the off pole, Sibley goes onto the back foot and strokes it through covers. Perera, in the deep, runs to his right, dives and manages to stop it from going to the boundary. England take two runs and that brings up the 100 for them. They need another 64 runs.
Lasith Embuldeniya to Dom Sibley, LUCKY FOUR! Very, very lucky there, Sibley. Short and outside off, Dom Sibley rocks back to cut but ends up getting it off the bottom of his bat.
