At 82/6, nobody would have thought that England would get this close. But Buttler and Woakes had other plans. With the record for highest 8th wicket partnership in England-Sri Lanka contests, and the highest score by a number 8 batsman in ODIs being shattered, an improbable victory looked to be on the cards, but it wasn't to be. Buttler's departure for 93 in the 43rd over after a record 138-run stand for the 8th wicket changed things. However, Woakes carried things to the last ball, and Plunkett smashed the last ball for six to tie the game.
49.6 Pradeep to Plunkett, SIX. The game is a TIE, Plunkett backs away and smashes the length ball over long off. He is pumped, Pradeep is gutted. Pressure presure pressure!
45.4 Maharoof to Willey, OUT, another dirty slog from Willey, and the ball skews off the outside edge and the ball balloons to sweeper cover for a catch. They are checking for the no-ball, this is mighty close. And Willey has to depart with a pout!
