ENG vs SL 3rd T20I Live Score - Manchester (19 September 2026)

Honing in on the off stump, on a good length. Pathum pushes out in front of his body. Chips it a bit uppishly, but it drops short and stays away from the reach of the bowler to his left.

SIX! That is a shot and a half! Bowled on a length, just outside off. Nissanka plants his front foot across and brings his wrists into play. He picks it up over square leg and, with the wind, the ball gets parked into the stands.

Good comeback by Baker. Lands it on a good length, around off. Nissanka checks his shot as he plays it back to the bowler.

Excellent work! Baker pushes the length up at 138 kph, on off. Nissanka gets his hands through the line of the ball as he crunches the drive down the ground. Harry Brook is quick to his right at mid off and dives to save a certain boundary. Just a single.

From around the wicket for the left-hander, nice and full at the stumps. Asalanka forces the drive down the deck but hits it too straight. The ball catches Baker on the boot before he can react and it deflects towards cover.

Bowled by going wide on the crease, at 141 kph, on a good length, tucking the batter up for room. Asalanka drops it beside the strip on the leg side and hurries to the other end. At the end of 6 overs, Sri Lanka are 47/2.

Fuller in length, on middle and leg. Charith Asalanka clips it toward backward square leg for a single.

FOUR! Beautifully done by Nissanka! Tossed up, fuller, around off, Pathum Nissanka plants his front foot toward the pitch of the ball and uses his bottom hand to hit it over cover for a boundary. Sri Lanka go past 50.

Fuller, on off, Pathum Nissanka pushes it to cover.

OUT! CAUGHT! Oh my word. What a catch from Harry Brook. Will Jacks drops his length short, just outside off. Pathum Nissanka opens his stance and decides to pull at it, but ends up hitting it flat toward the right of Harry Brook in the mid-wicket region. He locks his eyes on the ball, dives to his right and takes a sharp catch. Brook, on seeing Nissanka press back and set up for the pull, anticipated the shot and took a couple of steps to his right. That meant the ball came within his reach, and he did not have to stretch too far to complete the catch. Top stuff from the skipper of England.

Darted in on a good length, on middle and leg. Mendis keeps it out on the leg side.

Slower through the air, on middle, on a good length. Mendis skips down the track to push it away. He is not to the pitch of the ball and therefore, miscues it off the inner half square on the leg side for a single.

Short, around off, Mendis guides it to the right of short third for one.

Short again, outside off, Charith Asalanka slaps it to the right of the short cover fielder, who makes an excellent stop. No runs from the delivery.

WIDE! Shortish again from Rashid, spilling it way outside off, beyond the tramline. Charith Asalanka misses his cut.

A touch fuller, just outside off, Charith Asalanka steers it to short third for one.

Predetermined from Mendis! Fuller, on off, Mendis reverse sweeps it over backward point. Sonny Baker has a chase at it and slides away to cut it to two runs.

Full, outside off, flighted as well. Kamindu Mendis yet again tries for the reverse sweep but gets beaten on the outside edge this time.

SIX! BANG! Pitches it up, offering a bit of flight, on off. Kamindu Mendis skips down the track and swings hard to clear the long on fence for a biggie. 11 runs off Rashid's first over.

Much fuller, outside off, Charith Asalanka misses his sweep.

On a nagging length, around off, Charith Asalanka flat bats it to long on for one.

FOUR! More runs for the Lankans! Short of a length, just outside off. Kamindu Mendis goes deep into the crease and hammers it toward the right of the deep mid-wicket fielder for four runs.

Fuller, outside off, Charith Asalanka pushes it to the off side.

Low full toss, around the pads, Charith Asalanka dabs it to long on and gets a single.

Short of a length, angling in, over off. Charith Asalanka charges down the track to pull it with hard hands, but gets the inside edge and it rolls away to deep fine leg for one.

Just misses the outside edge! Bashes hard on the good length, angling in, but it seams away. Kamindu Mendis looks to punch it toward cover, but it sneaks past the outside edge to beat the batter.

A tad fuller, outside off, Kamindu Mendis punches it to deep cover-point for one.

Bangs a shorter one, over middle and leg. Charith Asalanka leans toward the off side and pulls it late to deep fine leg for one.

That was dangerously close! A cutter from Jamie Overton, pitching it just behind the good length, around off. Kamindu Mendis lunges forward to clip it across, but the ball straightens and beats the outside edge to bounce over the off stump. 

Pitches it up, on off and middle. Kamindu Mendis tucks it to square leg.

SIX! That has gone back many a mile. Floated up at 78 kph, on middle. Asalanka charges down the track, and even though he is not entirely to the pitch of the ball, he reaches out to club it against the spin over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

4 Wides! The batter looks to play that but is comprehensively beaten.
