SL vs ENG Live Score

1:17 PM IST One bad game with the bat - Sri Lanka's captain, Dasun Shanaka, says that it is very disappointing to lose like this but they did have a lot of positives with the ball. Further adds that he expected his players to bat well, which didn't happen. Reckons that the pitch was definitely on the drier side but with the lights coming into effect, it did get better. Mentions that it wasn't like the opposition bowled extremely well and it was more like the batters didn't bat up to the mark. Further applauds the bowling effort and says that they can restrict any opposition to an under-par total. Feels that it is one bad game with the bat but knows that it is not affordable in a World Cup. Ends by saying that they can still bounce back.

1:13 PM IST First win of the Super 8s - Right then, England become the first team to register two points in the Super Eights phase and take the lead in Group 2, ahead of the likes of Pakistan and New Zealand. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, are the team under pressure in this group and if they falter or rain plays spoilsport in either of their remaining games, they could be heading out of the tournament. Let's now shift our focus to India, to Ahmedabad, to be precise. Super Sunday rounds off with a clash between two titans of international cricket as India take on South Africa in a Group 1 clash. That match is scheduled to start at 1.30 pm GMT and the Proteas have elected to BAT first. You can simply switch tabs and tune in to our coverage of that game. Cheers!

1:12 PM IST Let's quickly recap the first innings - After opting to bowl first, Sri Lanka came out firing with ball and had England reeling inside the Powerplay. The Lankans picked up a couple of wickets and kept the scoring rate down but it was in the middle phase that the hosts managed to put the squeeze on. Wickets at regular intervals kept pegging England back. Phil Salt, who had't gotten out of the Powerplay so far in this World Cup, managed to play a fighting knock and his 62 off 40 balls helped England get to some sort of a total. Will Jacks yet again chipped in with a crucial cameo and in the end, 146 was enough to get England over the line, that too with ease.

1:09 PM IST No demons in the pitch - England's captain, Harry Brook, says that bowling out Sri Lanka for under 100 runs is indeed a wonderful present. Feels there weren't many demons on the pitch, but the bowlers from both teams bowled really well. Highlights it was hard to time with the bat but credits the way Phil Salt played on the pitch. Admits Jos Buttler is arguably the best player in white-ball cricket, Brook feels he is lacking a bit of confidence and is not concerned about his form at all. On Will Jacks, Brook says Jacks was annoyed with the way he got out and chuckles by saying he bowls well when he is annoyed. Feels that they can play in any conditions, it's about getting a perfect start and feels they will once Jos Buttler starts firing on top.

1:01 PM IST The two captains are now in conversation with Michael Atherton...

12:58 PM IST Sri Lanka's miserable outing with the bat - At the innings interval, Sri Lanka must have thought that they had the game in the bag but things turned out completely different. The approach with the bat from the top order was questionable at best and once again, we saw how much they depend on Pathum Nissanka providing those good starts. The middle order showed some fight but it wasn't anything substantial, barring that knock of 30 from the skipper, Dasun Shanaka. Sri Lanka isn't a side that is filled with all-rounders and at some point earlier in the chase, they should have thought about it. They now ave a moutain to climb if they are to make it through to the semi-finals.
