DRINKS! That's the second ball that's been lost in this innings and the umpires take this opportunity to call for refreshments. Despite losing 3 wickets, England have cruised along in this chase and right now, Tom Banton looks in devastating mood. Sri Lanka will need more than a miracle to turn this one around.
SIX MORE! Banton is in a hurry! A bit too full, outside off, Tom Banton latches onto it and powers it high and over long off for another six. This is ferocious batting from Tom.
SIX! That goes all the way! Bangs it short, on middle and leg, Tom Banton gets into a low position and helps it over fine leg for a maximum.
Three runs! Fullish, on leg, Jordan Cox flicks it over mid-wicket. The fielder has a long chase to do as the batters collect three runs.
Hits the deck hard, on off, Tom Banton stays back and tucks it to mid-wicket for one more.
Angling in, on off, Jordan Cox flicks it through square leg for a single.
SIX! 100 up for England, that too in style. Tossed-up delivery, Tom Banton clears the front leg and swings across the line, it's almost like a golf swing, and sends the ball sailing over deep mid-wicket. England are speed-running this chase.
Wanindu sees Banton advancing and drops the length back. Banton ends up fending it back to the bowler.
Quicker one, full and darted in on the pads. Cox fails to get it away and gets it off the pads to short fine leg for a leg bye.
Nice and full, on middle, clipped down to long on for a run.
