England v Sri Lanka - 1st NatWest T20 International

The 5 match ODI series in England was nicely poised at 1-1 after two games when the two teams arrived in Manchester for the 3rd game and instead of delivering a closely fought game; it turned out to be a one-sided game for the ages.

England inserted Sri Lanka to bat first and the decision proved to be absolutely spot on as the visitors crumbled in embarrassing fashion. James Anderson sent back the openers Dilshan and Lahiru Thirimanne within the 1st overs and then all-rounder Chris Jordan ran riot.

From 13 for 2, there were soon reduced to 58 for 5 and then lost the last 5 wickets for the addition of only 9 runs, to be all out for an appalling 67 in 24 overs. Jordan ended with dream figures of 5 for 29 in 8 overs and later on, England knocked off the target in 12.1 overs without any loss of wickets.
