England 135-9 (19 ovs) vs SL | SCORECARD

Pacer Madushanka to bowl the penultimate over. He bowled his first three overs in the Powerplay, in which he conceded just 16 runs.

But he comes under attack from Jacks in the 19th over. A full wide delivery is drilled through the covers for a boundary and repeats the shot after a wide for the same result to give England some much-needed boost.

Madushanka redeems himself with the wicket of Jacks, who throws his bat at a wide full toss but fails to get it in the gap and is caught at thirdman after a quick 21 from 14 balls.

Madushanka strikes again off the last ball. Jofra Archer also mistimes the low full toss, getting it off the toe-end to be caught on the off-side for a duck.

Madushanka finishes with superb figures of 2/25 from his four overs.
