✔ @RusselArnold69

Sanga is 6 runs short of becoming the player with the highest number of runs in a calender year across all formats.

3:26 AM - 16 Dec 2014

302 - 6 after 50 overs

Dilshan 101 , Sanga 33

Innings break .....

23.5  Ali to Sangakkara, would you believe it!  Sangakkara just swings it straight to midwicket.

Another standing ovation as Sangakkara walks off. May not be his final innings in Sri Lanka,

but will be his final ODI here !
 

2 - 1

1.2

Dilshan to Ali, OUT, goes back, this skids on, Moeen cuts, misses and is bowled! Dilshan strikes first up yet again and perhaps there most dangerous player is back in the shed first ball

MM Ali b Dilshan DUCK

27 - 1 after 6 overs !

30 - 2

7.2  Dilshan to Hales, down the track smashing high into the sky but doesn't get enough of it and

finds long-on! Hales got it off the bottom of the bat, it went very high but a good five yards

short of the boundary and it was solidly taken, England in trouble

Hales c Prasanna b Dilshan 7

57 - 4 after 15

14.2
Lakmal to Taylor, OUT, taken by Sangakkara and it's given out! England in disarray now.
A little bounce made it really uncomfortable for Taylor who tried to ride the delivery down the leg side

JWA Taylor c †Sangakkara b Lakmal 2


12.6

Lakmal to Cook, drives at it and edges, well taken at slip! Jayawardene diving low to his left takes the catch but they will check upstairs. ..has to go with another stroke that he played without moving his feet, back goes the England captain without a big score once more...

Cook c Jayawardene b Lakmal 32

126 - 6 after 28 overs

27.3

Prasanna to Buttler, Tried to clear the off side but the bat just turned in his hand and the ball sliced\

in the air to deep cover

Jos Buttler c Chandimal b Prasanna 23

175 - 6 after 37 overs

Joe Root 74*

191 - 9 after 41
