3rd ODI: Sri Lanka v England at Dambulla

Rain interrupted the match.
Both teams were limited to 48 overs, but Sri Lanka didn't even use theirs as they were all out for 164 after 41.1 overs. Dilshan was the only decent scorer with 70, nobody else even reached 20. Swann took 4 wickets, Sidebottom 3, and Broad 2.

In reply, England is 95/5 after 28 overs. They just lost Shah to end their best partnership of the match with Collingwood. He's still in there on 28.

It may not sound like England need a lot of runs to win this, but it'll be tough today, the runs aren''t coming easy at all.

Collingwood out for 31.

England 102-6 after 32

They only need 62 runs from 16 overs to win, but that doesn't seem terribly likely at this point. Current batsmen are Bopara and Swann.

Bopara out

119-7 after 36

they need 45 runs from 12 overs
 
Re: 3rd ODI: Sri Lanka v England at Dambulla

Swann scoring some runs here, he's up to 21 already, the 3rd highest scorer in the match!

England 136-7 after 40

They need 28 runs from 8 overs.
If Swann can hold on, England will win.
 
Re: 3rd ODI: Sri Lanka v England at Dambulla

Swann out for 25 a few overs ago.

Broad and Sidebottom are hanging on though, scoring 2 or 3 an over.

England 157-8 after 46

they need 7 runs from the final 12 deliveries

and it's over, England wins a tight one with only 7 balls and 2 wickets to spare
