Sri Lanka vs England, T20 World Cup 2022 Highlights: It was Ben Stokes the batter who took England over the line in the end. It initially looked like the 142-run chase would be a cakewalk for them after Alex Hales got them off to a flying start. Hales and captain Jos Buttler put up a 75 runs in just 44 balls but England lost their way in the middle overs, collapsing to 129/6 in the 18th over. Stokes then knocked off the remaining runs with Chris Woakes taking England over the line with a four in the final over. England are through to the semi-finals and this also means that hosts and defending champions Australia have been knocked out.

T20 World Cup live score: The qualification race
Australia's win over Afghanistan ended the extremely slender hopes that Sri Lanka had of making it to the semi-finals. New Zealand's qualification was also confirmed halfway through that match, with Australia scoring 168/8 making it impossible for them to overtake the Kiwis on net run rate. Their inability to then dismiss Afghanistan for a score below 106 confirmed that they won't overtake England on net run rate.

It's all cricket here, and the little math that's involved during a match.
