So, Sri Lanka have kept their Champions Trophy dream alive by wrapping up proceedings here in what was a very one-sided match in the end, despite Daniel Vettori's cameo. Thanks for joining us and do tune in tomorrow when England will be looking to restore some pride after their drubbing by India, while Australia will hope to put their loss at the hands of West Indies behind them.
