19.6Chameera to L Wood1
One run. Dushmantha Chameera to Luke Wood. Reverse Swing-Out full toss, off stump on the front foot driving, to mid on for 1 run, fielded by Wellalage. That's the end of the first innings. England have posted a decent total, with Sam Curran top-scoring with 58 after playing a crucial knock under pressure. He anchored the innings while wickets fell regularly at the other end, with no other batter able to build a lasting partnership. Sri Lanka's bowlers were disciplined and consistent, maintaining good lengths and rhythm throughout. Dushmantha Chameera was outstanding, leading the attack with a five-wicket haul. Can Sri Lanka chase down the target, or will England's bowlers defend the total? The run chase will begin shortly.
