How Sri Lanka chased 430 runs against England
The Sri Lanka national cricket team vs England cricket team match scorecard shows a chase built by four batters taking turns. Someone had to stay in, and each of them did.
Sri Lanka lose two early wickets
Tongue bowled Kamindu Mendis in the 4th over (23/1). Two balls into the next, captain Kusal Mendis was run out at the non-striker’s end without facing. Atkinson got a fingertip to Avishka Fernando’s straight drive.
24/2. Most chases of 430 end right there.
Avishka was also given out lbw at one point, then won the review. That reprieve mattered more than anything else in the first 10 overs.
Avishka Fernando and Pavan Rathnayake rebuild the innings
The two added 166 for the third wicket, Sri Lanka’s biggest stand of the night. Avishka reached 50 off 49 balls. At the 20-over mark Sri Lanka were 131/2, ahead of England’s 110/2.
Overton ended it with a caught and bowled in the 28th over. Avishka was out for 97, three short of a hundred (190/3).
Dasun Shanaka changes the momentum
Shanaka walked in at No. 5 and got to 50 off 30 balls. He and Rathnayake added 133 in 79 balls.
At the 34-over drink Sri Lanka were 250/3 and needed 180 off 96 balls. That’s 11.25 an over, and it looked scary. Shanaka hit 8 sixes in his 97 off 50 and the number stopped looking scary. Rathnayake reached his hundred off 87 balls, then holed out to long-on off Curran for 130 (323/4).
Shanaka went for a six to reach three figures off Dawson and was caught on 97. Sri Lanka were 363/5 after 43.6 overs and needed 67 off 36.
Janith Liyanage finishes the chase
Liyanage had already started. He reached 50 off 21 balls and added 43 off 18 balls with Sahan Arachchige, until Curran got Arachchige with a full toss (406/6).
Sri Lanka needed 8 off the last over, bowled by Tongue.
- 49.1: Liyanage takes 1.
- 49.2: Wellalage is bowled for 8.
- 49.3: Malinga is yorked first ball (423/8). 7 needed off 3.
- 49.4: Asitha Fernando takes a single to give Liyanage the strike.
- 49.5: Liyanage hits a full ball over long-off for six.
Liyanage finished on 61 not out off 27 balls, a strike rate of 225.93.
Harry Brook’s record double century
Brook started badly. He had 13 off his first 24 balls. Then he got to 50 off 42, 100 off 75, 150 off 97 and 200 off 114 balls, a paddle sweep in the final over bringing up the double.
He was caught off the very last ball for 202 off 116 (21 fours, 10 sixes). That’s 144 runs in boundaries, the most by an England batter in an ODI innings (Jos Buttler’s 124 was the old mark). It’s also England’s first ODI double hundred, and it beat Ben Stokes’s 182 as England’s highest ODI score.
Sri Lanka’s part-time bowling made it easier. Kamindu Mendis, Shanaka and Liyanage shared the fifth-bowler quota and went for 123 runs between them, with 1 wicket.
Joe Root and Will Jacks support England’s big total
Banton and Duckett opened with 74 and England were 54/0 after 10 overs. Wellalage broke that with two wickets (85/2).
Root and Brook then added 159 for the third wicket before Root was caught at midwicket off Asitha Fernando for 69 (244/3).
Jacks came in at No. 5. He reached 50 off 25 balls, and he and Brook put on 185 for the fourth wicket. England scored 156 in the last 10 overs. Jacks finished with 66 not out off 30, including 3 sixes.
