Sri Lanka pushed to 90/4 in 13 overs and still looked favourites to pull the chase off, but Jacks kept England interested by trapping Kamindu Mendis leg before and then had Janith Liyanage slog sweep to the deep square leg fielder in his next over, reducing the hosts to 97/6. Dunith Wellalage and Dasun Shanaka dragged the team past the 100-run mark but a triple-wicket over from Bethell turned the tide violently. First, Jos Buttler took a good low catch to send Wellalage packing, next Dushmantha Chammera mistimed his drive to Brook at cover and then Shanaka was stumped off a big-turning ball. Bethell picked his fourth wicket of the evening in the 20th over, off Maheesh Theekshana, to complete England’s incredible victory.
