Full commentary

That's England's first one-day win in Sri Lanka since 1982. As Andrew Miller points out, England have won three Ashes series since that - and Gnasher was only just born. There'll be some celebrations tonight: England will be delighted with Shah's innings in particular and then a polished bowling effort from the get-go, allied to some excellent fielding. So the sides return on Sunday for the third match with the series level. Join us then - well, not me (Jenny Thompson), but the rest of the team today who have been Will Luke, Martin Williamson, Andrew Miller with Andrew 'Gnasher' McGlashan on bulletinal drums. Thanks for following us today. It's been emotional.
