  1. Eng 183-6

    89 runs needed

    Jeffrey Vandersay shuts the door that Rehan Ahmed nudged ever so slightly ajar.

    The spinner concedes two singles from his first two balls, then sends down four dots to Rehan.

    Seeing the Sri Lankan spinners choke the opposition like this in a chase is really rolling back the years. A vintage home performance.

  3. Eng 181-6

    91 runs needed

    Rehan Ahmed isn't going to go down without a fight.

    He picks up two fours, crashing Dunith Wellalage over the covers then dropping into his crease to loft the ball down the ground.

    Wellalage finishes with figures of 2-41, with 12 of them coming from this over.

    England's required run-rate ticks down from 11.44 to 11.37 runs an over.

    I think we just have to accept that England are really bad at ODI cricket. Bowlers (Rashid aside) are bang average, and the batters seem terrified to score runs.

  5. Not out

    Eng 169-6; 103 runs needed

    No wicket on this occasion.

    Impact is umpire's call and the ball is missing the stumps.

    Having survived that review, Jos Buttler inside edges the final ball of the over past his leg stump for a single.

  6. Sri Lanka review

    Reverse sweep, another wicket?

    Jeffrey Vandersay thinks so - he's struck Jos Buttler on the pads.

    Umpire Rod Tucker says no, Sri Lanka are going to see if he's wrong.

  7. Eng 167-6

    105 runs needed

    Rehan Ahmed is the next to walk out to the middle for England.

    He and Jos Buttler work Dunith Wellalage for a trio of singles to end the over.

    Neither team wanted to bat under the lights on a pitch now with extra turn and bounce. A chase that was once under control is now anything but.

    WICKET

    Curran c & b Wellalage 5 (Eng 164-6)

    And another one...

    Sam Curran steps back to slap Dunith Wellalage through the off side.

    The ball ends up heading down the pitch and the Sri Lanka spinner take a smart catch just above the ground.

    The umpires check the catch is clean - it is, and Curran departs.

    England have lost five wickets for 35 runs.

    Once again, Brook shows he does not have the nous to be the leader - or even the cricketer - everyone has built him up to be.

    Charlie Brown, Manchester

    If Brook had a brain, he’d be dangerous. He shouldn’t even still have the captaincy after all the stunts he’s pulled on and off the pitch over the last 6 months…

    Credit to Sri Lanka here but England are really falling away here. They're trying to force things now.

  13. Eng 162-5

    Three singles off Charith Asalanka's over.

    Not enough - the required run-rate hits exactly 10 an over and is rising rapidly.

  14. This is the win predictor over time... it's only heading one way now!

    It's been clever bowling from Wellalage, it was easy stumping in the end.

  16. Eng 157-4

    Sam Curran takes a single off his second ball, pushing Dunith Wellalage into the covers.

    A lot for the all-rounder to do here, with England needing 9.41 runs an over.

    Bethell st Mendis b Wellalage 15 (Eng 158-5)

    Sri Lanka's Dunith Wellalage (L) celebrates with captain Charith Asalanka after taking the wicket of England's Jacob BethellGetty Images

    The umpires don't need to check that one.

    Not much Jacob Bethell could do about that one - Dunith Wellalage pitches the ball roughly on the off-side tram line and extracts big bounce and sharp turn.

    Bethell is beaten all ends up and Kusal Mendis barely has to move behind the stumps to whip off the bails.

  18. Eng 157-4

    Jos Buttler turns the last ball of the over into mid-wicket and Jacob Bethell hurries through a single, beating the throw to the danger end.

  19. Kevin Howells
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    There's very sharp work here from the bowler and keeper. The pressure is right back on England now. It's not the return Brook was looking for; he was miles out.

    WICKET

    Brook st Mendis b Asalanka 6

    No doubt about that.

    Even a tiny fumble from Kusal Mendis doesn't make the difference, Harry Brook could have been stumped about three times.

    Here comes Jos Buttler with England in trouble.
