    • So that is it from this game! Another truncated one and once again the English side come out on top. They haven't lost a bilateral series of 3-matches or more since 2017. They now can't lose this one also. However, the hosts can still level the series as there are two more games to go. The 4th ODI will take place on the 20th of October on the same venue at 0945 AM local (0415 AM GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!

    • England captain, Eoin Morgan suggests that they have improved as a team. Reckons that it is not easy waiting for the rain to stop. Gives credit to the bowlers and mentions about Stokes, Curran and Rashid. Says he cannot praise the bowlers enough for restricting Sri Lanka to 150 as they executed their plans well. On their batting he says that they have an aggressive opening pair who looks to put bad balls away. States that they just needed one partnership to take the game away from the opponents. Mentions that there is competition for places in the side which is a good headache.

    • Thisara Perera speaks in place of Chandimal who is ill. He starts by saying they got a good start by the openers but could not continue on it. Adds further with it being only a 21-ovber game they needed more runs. Admits they were 30-35 runs short. Reckons the batting line-up has to be blamed and they would hope to do better in the next game. He hopes Chandimal gets better before the next game.

    • Man of the Match, Adil Rashid, says he feels good. Adds the conditions were good but the ball was a little wet. Mentions the googlies came out nicely as he has been practicing hard in the nets. Admits they do practice with the wet ball in the nets and it came in handy. States Morgan as a captain backs each bowler and it is his job to create chance and take wickets. Ends by saying he had a game plan and it came out well today.

    • The Sri Lankan bowlers did not have a lot to defend. Aponso did give them hope with a couple of quick wickets but none of the other bowlers were able to break through. Akila Dananjaya was played out smartly and the pace bowlers were attacked. Pradeep and Malinga both went for around 10 runs per over and while defending a not-so-big total, that is not affordable. Stay tuned for the presentation in a while.

    • The chase also began in brilliant fashion with the visitors hitting 17 from the first over. Bairstow and Root did fall in quick succession but Morgan and Roy first with a 46-run stand and the English skipper and Ben Stokes with another 50-plus stand took the away team over the line. Jason Roy played a flamboyant innings and was unfortunate to miss out on a half ton. Morgan played as the anchor and stroked a lovely half ton. He was well supported by Ben Stokes who finished the game off in style.

    • England now have gone 2-0 up in the series and have taken an unassailable lead, given that the first match was washed out. They have chased this average total down with ease. Their bowlers did an excellent job in the first half, especially after the Lankan openers got them off to flier. Tom Curran and Adil Rashid especially, the two finished with combined figures of 9-0-53-7 ensuring England head into the break ahead.

    • 13.2Dhananjaya De Silva to Ben Stokes. no run, DROPPED! But that was hit like a rocket. More like the ball hit Dhananjaya's hand than Dhananjaya getting a hand to the delivery. Had to stick that one. Stokes comes down the track and with brute force, powers it back towards Dhananjaya. The bowler tries to take it but the power is such that the ball brushes his fingers and hits him around the shoulder area. He does have the awareness to look for the rebound but has no idea where the ball is as it lands on the pitch. Dhananjaya is in pain though.

    • 13.1Dhananjaya De Silva to Ben Stokes. no run, Slightly slower through the air on the pads, Stokes tries to work it on the leg side but closes the face of the bat a touch early. He gets a soft leading edge to point.

    • 9.5Nuwan Pradeep to Ben Stokes. 1 run, Uses his feet but this time mistimes it towards mid on. They go for the run and the fielder makes it easier for them by fumbling.

    • 9.4Nuwan Pradeep to Ben Stokes. FOUR, FOUR! Off the mark in style! Just a push that one but such was the timing that it races away. On a length around middle, Stokes stands tall and strokes it through mid on, the ball races away. Already an expensive first over by Pradeep.

    • 9.3Nuwan Pradeep to Eoin Morgan. 1 run, A little fuller than the last ball and a little bit closer to the off pole. Morgan chops it towards the keeper for a quick run.

    • 9.2Nuwan Pradeep to Eoin Morgan. FOUR, FOUR! A little too short and a little too wide and Pradeep pays the price. He cuts it through point. Akila in the deep makes good ground to his right, dives but can't stop the ball.

IT touches something and goes behind the keeper. Dickwella takes the catches and puts in a half-hearted appeal. The umpire does not signal a wide thinking it went off the pads. Sri Lanka have a chat and take it up. The ball did go off his pad but when the third umpire checked ball tracking, we see all three reds. Big wicket for the hosts. The 46-run stands end the away side need more 71 runs from the last 12 overs.
