Well, that wraps up another dire day for England and it is hard to see a way out of this rut which has now seen them lose 14 out of their last 18 ODIs. Full credit to Sri Lanka who batted extremely well and then really turned the screw in the middle overs after England had made a confident start. But they were aided by another wretched bowling display from England. They came into this game with 49 wides in three games and added another 21 today chip in the three no-balls and thats an extra four overs and brings the margin of victory into single figures. Its also worth noting that in Sri Lankas last four overs they added 50.
Join us on Saturday for the final match in this series where England have to try hard to avoid the humiliation of a series whitewash and we have to pretend it really matters.
From me, Martin Williamson, and Jenny Thompson, its goodnight. Dont forget to relive the game courtesy of Will Lukes bulletin
