#engvsl — Public Fediverse posts

One of the clearer cut Player of the Match decisions - it goes of course to Danni Wyatt-Hodge.
#cricket #WT20I #WomensT20WorldCup #EnglandvSriLanka #ENGvSL

Appeal for a catch behind on the final ball of the match, given not out on field and sent upstairs. Ultra Edge shows a clear spike and third umpire Polosak duly gives the instruction to change the decision. Sri Lanka 132 all out, England winning by 87 runs to give themselves a big net RR boost as well as the two points. Not one of Ecclestone's greatest days with the ball but she still emerges with 4-0-27-2 in the end. They have dominated this match the whole way through.

Nikashika Silva's resistance ends as she goes caught by Capsey off Ecclestone for 37 to make it 131-9, 89 needed off four balls with the last pair together.
#cricket #WT20I #WomensT20WorldCup #EnglandvSriLanka #ENGvSL

Not a five-for for Freya Kemp - she finishes with 4-0-21-4. Sri Lanka 127-8 from 19 overs need just the 93 more from the final over to win.

Wyatt-Hodge fails to hold a chance offered by Kavisha Dilhari but the reprieve lasts one ball as she hits the next one to deep square leg where Linsey Smith takes the catch, second wicket for Kemp. Sri Lanka 92-6.
#cricket #WT20I #WomensT20WorldCup #EnglandvSriLanka #ENGvSL

End of the 12th over and Sri Lanka are 90-5 needing 130 more from the last eight at 16.25 per over, current RR 7.50.

#cricket #WT20I #WomensT20WorldCup #EnglandvSriLanka #ENGvSL

Revenge for Kemp, whose first ball was dispatched into the Hollies stand by Harshitha Samarawickrama. Three deliveries on she has rattled the Sri Lankan's stumps, bowling her for 29 to make it 67-5.
#cricket #WT20I #WomensT20WorldCup #EnglandvSriLanka #ENGvSL

Dean pins Hansima Karunaratne LBW for 11 (8) and Sri Lanka are 58-4 after eight overs, needing 162 more from the last 12 overs at 13.50 per over, current RR 7.25. Another way to look at it: after eight overs Sri Lanka are one run and four wickets worse off than England were after six overs.
#cricket #WT20I #WomensT20WorldCup #EnglandvSriLanka #ENGvSL

13 from Dani Gibson's first over of the tournament. Sri Lanka 52-3 after seven overs, need 168 more from the last 13 at 12.92 per over, current RR 7.43.

#cricket #WT20I #WomensT20WorldCup #EnglandvSriLanka #ENGvSL

Dots apply pressure and it tells - after three successive dots to start the sixth over Imesha Dulani wallops across the line in desperation and succeeds only in picking out Kemp who holds a good catch. Sri Lanka 37-3.
#cricket #WT20I #WomensT20WorldCup #EnglandvSriLanka #ENGvSL

Ecclestone concedes 9 from her first four balls but finishes with two dots. Sri Lanka 37-2 after five overs, needing 183 more from the last 15 at 12.20 per over, current RR 7.40. Smith to complete the Power Play.
#cricket #WT20I #WomensT20WorldCup #EnglandvSriLanka #ENGvSL

Sri Lanka 28-2 at the end of the fourth overs, need 192 from the last 16 at 12.00 per over, current RR 7.00.
#cricket #WT20I #WomensT20WorldCup #EnglandvSriLanka #ENGvSL

Danni Wyatt-Hodge strengthens her already vice-like grip on Player of the Match by taking an absolute blinder of a catch to dismiss Athapaththu off the bowling of Charlie Dean. Sri Lanka 22-2, and quite possibly already finished.
#cricket #WT20I #WomensT20WorldCup #EnglandvSriLanka #ENGvSL

Athapaththu goes for 4 (7) c Wyatt-Hodge b Dean.

Sri Lanka 22/2 (3.2) need an improbable 198 off 100.

Not a great over from Bell as she struggled with bowling to a left/ right hand combination, but it did not get punished as severely as it should. Sri Lanka 22-1 after three overs, need 198 more from 17 overs 11.65 per over, current RR 7.33.

Gunaratne departs for 6 (9) lbw Bell, and Sri Lanka use up a review.

Bell pins Vishmi Gunaratne bang in front and the umpire's finger goes up. It is sent upstairs. Replay confirms no bat and it was missing both the off and leg stumps, by the same margin but in different directions. Sri Lanka 14-1.

Magnificent Nissanka century. Full credit, as always, to Ben Duckett. #ENGvSL

@simoncox Great Granny work!

The less said about England's self-inflicted wounds the better I fear.

Though don't want to take credit away from Sri Lanka, who have played some excellent Test cricket. #EngvSL

This partnership is definitely ending in a run out. #ENGvSL
