That's a wrap, folks! A delayed Presentation ceremony, which was forced to be held indoors due to the rain, but it is all well and done now. It was a rain-marred contest but we did get to see some great entertainment as well. There are still two matches left in this series and the second T20I between Sri Lanka and England will be played at Pallekele once again. That game will be played on Sunday, February 1 and is scheduled to begin at 1.30 pm GMT. You can join us a lot sooner for the build-up as well. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Harry Brook, the captain of England - Brook starts by saying that the execution was on point tonight and they stuck to their guns with the ball, even when the opposition batters got off to a flying start. Adds that it is all about building for the next game and they are looking forward to the upcoming World Cup in similar conditions. Applauds the way Sam Curran came back and is happy he got the hat-trick. Also applauds Adil Rashid and calls him a master of his craft. On Phil Salt, Brook says that he is a powerhouse and can take the game away in the Powerplay.

Dasun Shanaka, the captain of Sri Lanka - Shanaka addressed the team's recurring batting collapses, expressing sadness and the belief that the team could have performed better despite positive intent. He emphasized the necessity of using their feet against quality spinners like Adil Rashid and Liam Dawson. He stressed that T20 cricket demands taking the attack to the opposition with specific, proactive options, noting the team must anticipate what is coming. Shanaka acknowledged the batters' caliber against spin but highlighted the need to deliver during matches, urging players to utilize their opportunities and justify their selection. Regarding the bowling, he described Matheesha Pathirana as a world-class bowler who had a normal bad patch, and was pleased with his performance in the recent game

Adil Rashid is the Player of the Match for his spell of 4-0-19-3. Rashid says that it is nice to get the win and feels they bowled well as a bowling unit. Adds that each game varies and today it was all about bowling slower and it came off for him. Mentions that he likes to take one game at a time and they aren't looking too far ahead.

Time for the Presentation ceremony...

Tightening the screws - Sri Lanka are usually rock solid at home but they are just starting to fall apart right before the start of a home T20 World Cup. Maybe it is just nerves but Dasun Shanaka and his troops need to show more consistency in all three facets of the game. Just like with the bat, there were a few bright spots with the ball. Matheesha Pathirana was outstanding and showed that he can bowl with the new ball as well. Eshan Malinga proved to be a wicket-taker as well but the spinners were off the boil. Both Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga were slow to get into their groove and didn't create many chances. A couple of catches did go down, though, and both of them were pretty straightforward, which will irk the coach even more.

Gearing up for the mega event - Just the performance England would have wanted as they take their first step towards the upcoming T20 World Cup. It was a brilliant comeback with the ball and now, with the bat, the visitors have looked largely unbothered. Phil Salt hit a six off the first ball of the chase and England never looked back. They lost a few wickets along the way but Salt played an anchoring knock, ending up just 4 short of a half-century and a breezy cameo worth 29 off just 15 balls from Tom Banton in the middle overs, was enough to seal a comfortable win.

An unfortunate end to proceedings - There it is, the official decision has been taken. The rain has had the final say, and the match is called off. England win by 11 runs (DLS Method). Actually, the on-air commentators now confirm that the DLS par score was actually 114 runs and not 123. Handshakes in the dressing room and even without this latest edition of the rain, it is very unlikely that the result would have been any different. After losing the first match of this tour, England have simply been on top of their game. Their recent white-ball record, especially away from home, has been under scrutiny but they have now taken a 1-0 lead in the T20I series after sealing the ODI series as well. A bit underwhelming from Sri Lanka, only managing to do well in patches and they will look to bounce back stronger.

Oh, hang on! The rain has returned out of nowhere. England needed just 9 runs to win off the remaining 12 deliveries but it has started to rain pretty heavily. The covers are coming on and the current DLS par score is 123 as shown on the screen, which means England have pretty much won this game as the chances of a restart look very bleak.

OUT! CAUGHT! Slower one, wide of off, and fuller. Phil Salt looks to get underneath it and slog this over the fence but fails to do it. Ends up chipping this straight to long on.

13.2

मथीशा पथिराना To हैरी ब्रूक

Pathum Nissanka drops a straightforward catch at sweeper cover. Short and wide of off, Harry Brook backs away and lofts this straight into the hands of Pathum Nissanka at sweeper cover. Pathum runs in rapidly and ends up dropping this as he gets too close to the flight of the ball.

मथीशा पथिराना To हैरी ब्रूक

Full and on leg, Harry Brook backs away and punches this to short extra cover.

Lobbed up around off, turns away a bit. Salt slaps it down to long off and rotates strike.

12.4

वानिंदु हसरंगा To फिल सॉल्ट

Two is the call and two is what they get. Flatter delivery on middle, Salt presses back and tucks it neatly through mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

12.3

वानिंदु हसरंगा To हैरी ब्रूक

The wrong'un now, on a length and outside off. Brook advances and gets an inside edge towards short fine leg for a single.

12.2

वानिंदु हसरंगा To हैरी ब्रूक

FOUR! Up and over. Tossed up around off, Harry Brook sits down and goes for the reverse-sweep, getting more of a top edge on it but the ball sails over backward point for a boundary.

11.3

महीश तीक्षाना To फिल सॉल्ट

Quicker one, on a good length and around off. This is punched away to extra cover.

A bit fuller and on the pads, worked away in front of square on the leg side for a single.

10.4

वानिंदु हसरंगा To हैरी ब्रूक

Oh, almost undone by the googly again. Bowled flatter and on off, darts back in. Brook leans on to play at it but gets an inside edge back onto the pads.

10.3

वानिंदु हसरंगा To हैरी ब्रूक

Beautifully bowled. A googly now, not all that full and outside off. Harry Brook lunges across and leaves a big gap between bat and pad. Luckily for him, the ball doesn't quite turn back and just beats the inside edge.

10.2

वानिंदु हसरंगा To फिल सॉल्ट

Tossed up, full and around off, driven firmly but straight to long off for a single.

10.1

वानिंदु हसरंगा To फिल सॉल्ट

9.6

मथीशा पथिराना To फिल सॉल्ट

WIDE! A bit too high for the batter. Wide given for height.

9.6

मथीशा पथिराना To फिल सॉल्ट

WIDE! Full and wide down the leg. Salt misses on the flick. Wided.

9.5

मथीशा पथिराना To हैरी ब्रूक

A vicious short one, around off, Harry Brook looks to hook this behind square on leg but ends up getting it toe-poked to the space towards the right of the fielder at third man region for a single.

9.4

मथीशा पथिराना To हैरी ब्रूक

On a length, straight one, wide of off. Harry Brook looks to play the lofted drive but misses.

9.3

मथीशा पथिराना To हैरी ब्रूक

Short and wide of off, Harry Brook cuts this to deep third's right and hustles back for two.

The English skipper, Harry Brook, walks in at number 5.

9.2

मथीशा पथिराना To टॉम बैंटन OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! A catch of the highest order from Charith Asalanka. On a length, wide of off, Tom Banton strides to the pitch of the ball and punches this a bit uppish but well to the wide of short extra cover. Charith Asalanka dives low to his right and grabs it two-handed as he falls on the deck. Tom Banton departs after scoring 29 off 15.

9.1

मथीशा पथिराना To फिल सॉल्ट

Hard length, around off, Phil Salt flat bats this just short of the fielder at long on for a run.

DRINKS BREAK! More of a timeout, it seems, from the umpire's signal. Anyway, this has been an electric chase so far from England and although Sri Lanka have managed to pick up a couple of wickets, the visitors are running away with it. 48 needed in as many deliveries and Tom Banton has come out playing so many shots, staking his claim for a spot in the Playing XI when that first World Cup game comes. Can the Lankans conjure up some sort of a fightback? Let's find out. Also, Matheesha Pathirana is brought back into the attack. He went for just 6 runs in his first 2 overs.

वानिंदु हसरंगा To टॉम बैंटन

SIX! BACK-TO-BACK BIGGIES! A tad short from Wanindu Hasaranga and Tom Banton was waiting for it. Tom rocks deep inside the crease and pulls this out of the park, beyond the deep mid-wicket region for a huge six.

7.4

वानिंदु हसरंगा To टॉम बैंटन

SIX! That's been hit even better by Tom Banton. Tossed up, wide of off this time, Tom Banton once again goes for the reverse sweep and ends up clearing the fence towards deep third for a biggie.

7.3

वानिंदु हसरंगा To टॉम बैंटन

FOUR! Calculated risk for four. Tossed up, around off, Tom Banton picks up the line early, plays the reverse sweep and hits this over the fielder at backward point for a boundary. Tom Banton races to 11 off 8.

7.2

OUT! TAKEN! Eshan Malinga strikes in back-to-back overs and Sri Lanka are back in business. Another slower ball, pitching it fuller and outside off. Jacob Bethell is early into the cover drive and the ball stops on him. JB ends up chipping it wide of the cover fielder. Dasun Shanaka dives to his right and pouches it brilliantly and Malinga is absolutely delighted.

4.5

ईशान मलिंगा To जैकब बेथेल

Beaten again! Slower one, into the pitch and over off stump. Bethell looks to swivel and pull but is undone by the lack of pace.

4.4

ईशान मलिंगा To जैकब बेथेल

Slower one, on a good length and outside off at 113 kph. Bethell makes room early to cut but misses.

4.3

ईशान मलिंगा To जैकब बेथेल

FOUR! Eye-catching stroke from Bethell. Hard length on middle and leg, JB keeps the front leg out of the way and plays a short-arm jab in front of mid-wicket and the ball flies to the fence.

4.2

ईशान मलिंगा To फिल सॉल्ट

Hard length around off and middle, Salt stabs it without much timing towards mid off and picks up a single.

4.1

ईशान मलिंगा To फिल सॉल्ट

मथीशा पथिराना To जैकब बेथेल

Beats the bat again, does Pathirana and nearly gets a wicket as well. Full and just outside off, it is the slower ball but Pathirana disguises it well. Jacob Bethell looks to straight drive but the ball dips under the bat and goes through.

3.5

मथीशा पथिराना To जैकब बेथेल

Full and quick, wide outside off. JB stays leg side of the ball and looks to drive but is beaten again. Just the boundary off the first ball, after that it's been all Pathirana.

3.4

मथीशा पथिराना To जैकब बेथेल

Dug in short now over leg stump and angles it just down leg. Bethell ducks under it but no wide is called. That was bowled at 147 kph again.

3.3

मथीशा पथिराना To जैकब बेथेल

Full again, at 147 kph and outside off. Bethell looks to reach out and cover drive but is well beaten.

3.2

मथीशा पथिराना To जैकब बेथेल

Geez, that's a top delivery. Not much of an appeal from the bowler or the keeper for LBW but skipper Dasun Shanaka feels this might have hit the pads first. He takes the review. Full and straight from Matheesha Pathirana, swings back into the toes at 145 kph. Jacob Bethell is taken aback but manages to jam the bat down in time and keep it out. Replays confirm that the ball went off the face of the bat and Sri Lanka throw away a review. NOT OUT!

3.1

मथीशा पथिराना To जैकब बेथेल

FOUR! Oh, glorious timing from Bethell. On a good length and in the channel, JB lets the ball come on and pushes it on the up, using the pace to find the gap at point and picks up the boundary as well.

Jacob Bethell walks out at 3 for England.

ईशान मलिंगा To जोस बटलर OUT!

OUT! BOWLED'EM! Eshan Malinga has the last laugh here and Jos Buttler has to walk back. Slower one, pitched up fuller and on middle. Buttler steps out to swing across the line but the ball dips and beats him all ends up. The ball crashes into the stumps and Buttler walks back after making 17 off 10 balls.

2.4

ईशान मलिंगा To जोस बटलर

FOUR! Another one and England are running away with it. A high full toss, shaping away from off. Buttler just walks down the pitch and slaps it up and over cover-point for four more runs. It is deemed a fair delivery as well.

2.3

ईशान मलिंगा To जोस बटलर

FOUR! A hat-trick of boundaries for Buttler now. Slower one, full and on leg stump. Jos Buttler clips the half-volley firmly and gets it wide of mid on for a boundary.

2.2

ईशान मलिंगा To जोस बटलर

FOUR! Edged but there's no first slip in place. Hard length on off, swinging away. Jos gets an outside edge as he looks to punch but the fielder is at fly slip. The ball goes wide of the keeper and runs away into the deep third fence.

2.1

ईशान मलिंगा To जोस बटलर

FOUR! That's gone like a tracer bullet. Overpitched around off, swinging away. Jos Buttler stands tall and laces the cover-punch through the gap and the ball flies to the fence.

Just one over for Maheesh Theekshana and Eshan Malinga replaces him in the attack.

मथीशा पथिराना To फिल सॉल्ट

1.5

मथीशा पथिराना To जोस बटलर

Hard length outside off, Buttler presses back and glides it down to deep backward point for one. He's off the mark now.

मथीशा पथिराना To जोस बटलर

WIDE. On a good length, wide outside off and shaping further away, Left alone by JB.

1.4

मथीशा पथिराना To जोस बटलर

Oh, that's extremely well done by the keeper. The ball slips out of Pathirana's hand and he ends up serving a curve ball around the top of the stumps. Buttler is taken aback as the ball shapes away and in lands just in front of the keeper. Kusal Mendis does well to pouch it.

1.3

मथीशा पथिराना To जोस बटलर

This is fiery stuff from Pathirana. Full and straight, right in the blockhole. Buttler just about manages to keep it out.

1.2

मथीशा पथिराना To जोस बटलर

FOUR LEG BYES! Unlucky for the bowler. Good-length delivery at 148 kph, nips away from middle. Jos Buttler gets squared up and the ball flicks the thigh pad and runs down to the left of the first slip fielder and into the deep third fence.

1.1

मथीशा पथिराना To जोस बटलर

Beaten straightaway! Full and around off, swinging away. Buttler's feet go nowhere as he looks to cover drive and gets beaten on the outside edge.

Matheesha Pathirana will be bowling from the other end.

0.2

महीश तीक्षाना To फिल सॉल्ट

FOUR! The quicker it comes, the better it is skidding onto the bat at the moment. The inswinger, fired in just outside off. Salt camps back and gets his hands through the line, smacking it through the gap at covers for a boundary.

0.1

महीश तीक्षाना To फिल सॉल्ट

SIX! Wow, what a start, what a hit! Shortish length to begin with from Theekshana, drifting into the pads. Phil Salt rocks back and flat-bats the pull to the right of deep square leg for a six.
