  • 49.6

    FOUR! Chris Woakes to Lasith Malinga. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep extra cover for 4 runs.

    Sri Lanka have finished with a flourish in Kandy to post a respectable 273/7. A middle order wobble looked like it would undo the excellent start provided by Niroshan Dickwella's half century, after the tourists won the toss and chose to field. Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid found lots of grip from the surface, but the hosts did well to only lose three wickets to England's spin duo. Half century partnerships for the fifth, sixth and seventh wickets saw Sri Lanka steadily build and then launch at the death. Dasun Shanaka made a superb 66, with Thisara Perera and Akila Dananjaya also chipping in at the end. This will be an interesting chase, spin will be crucial.

  • 49.6

    Wide Chris Woakes to Lasith Malinga. Yorker, wide outside off stump backing away, Left to wicketkeeper for 1 run, fielded by Buttler.

  • 49.5

    OUT! Run Out. Chris Woakes to Thisara Perera. Half volley, down leg side on the front foot flick, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Stokes, by Buttler. Desperate scampering as Thisara tries to keep the strike for the last ball, but Stokes is a gun in the field and fires in the perfect throw to Buttler. Thisara has to trudge off but he's played a handy cameo there to help the hosts post something respectable.

  • 49.4

    Chris Woakes to Akila Dananjaya. Yorker, to leg backing away pushing, to extra cover for 1 run, fielded by Morgan.

  • 49.3

    Chris Woakes to Akila Dananjaya. Yorker, outside off stump backing away driving, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Buttler.

  • 49.2

    FOUR! Chris Woakes to Akila Dananjaya. Length ball, down leg side backing away flick, well timed in the air under control past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. There's four fielders back on the legside and still Akila is able to find a gap. Woakes follows the left-hander as he shimmies to leg, but Akila just uses that angle to his advantage with a wristy flick.

  • 49.1

    SIX! Chris Woakes to Akila Dananjaya. Length ball, middle stump backing away Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Launched high and handsome over the legside, Akila isn't a big man but he's hit this a long way. This little flurry is taking Sri Lanka to a decent total.

  • 48.6

    Tom Curran to Thisara Perera. Half volley, down leg side on the front foot working, to deep backward square leg for 2 runs, fielded by Hales.

  • 48.5

    Tom Curran to Akila Dananjaya. Slower ball half volley, down leg side backing away driving, to mid off for 1 run, fielded by Woakes.

  • 48.4

    FOUR! Tom Curran to Akila Dananjaya. Back of a length, down leg side backing away cutting, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Slapped over the top, that's a much needed boundary for the hosts. Akila has mostly been looking to give the strike back to Thisara during this partnership, but at this late stage they both need to look to find the fence.

  • 48.3

    Tom Curran to Thisara Perera. Slower ball back of a length, off stump on the back foot Slog, mis-timed to square leg for 1 run, fielded by Hales.

  • 48.2

  • 46.4

    Tom Curran to Thisara Perera. Slower length ball, down leg side on the front foot working, hit pad to short fine leg for 1 run, shy attempt by Stone.

  • 46.3

    SIX! Tom Curran to Thisara Perera. Length ball, down leg side on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control over deep backward square leg for 6 runs. Stand and deliver from the big all-rounder, whipping this with elegance over the legside. That was right in his arc, Curran knows it and is disappointed.

  • 46.2

    Tom Curran to Akila Dananjaya. Half volley, to leg on the front foot flick, to backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Hales.

  • 46.1

  • ಅಂತಿಮ Over 27
    Over 27. 5 runs. Bowler: Dhananjaya de Silva. England: 132/2 (rr 4.89)
  • 26.6

    FOUR! Dhananjaya de Silva to Eoin Morgan. Off break back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs.

    Morgan pounces on one slightly back of a length as the clouds begin to burst. The grounstaff leap into action to try and cover the playing area. As it stands England are comfortably ahead of the DLS par score, but let's hope this isn't the end of the action for today. Sri Lanka will be really regretting that no-ball from a few overs ago, that could have really changed the complexion of the match.

    That's all for today I'm afraid, it has absolutely hammered down since the players went off and there is no chance of any further play. England win the match comfortably via DLS and wrap up the series, 3-0 up with one match left to play in Colombo on Tuesday. This was probably Sri Lanka's best performance of the series so far, but they weren't able to capitalise on key moments to really drive home the advantage. It was probably best summed up when Joe Root was caught off a full toss but there weren't enough fielders inside the circle, so it was a no-ball instead of a wicket. The tourists will be delighted with another series win under their belts in alien conditions thanks to a solid team performance today. Eoin Morgan batted with real intelligence at the end, after the spin duo of Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid had skilfully strangled the hosts in the first innings. We'll be back on Tuesday for the conclusion of this ODI series.
