SL vs ENG Match 6 Results

4:33 PM IST On to the summit clash - Right then, we have had 6 round-robin games in this tri-series and Pakistan finish top with 3 wins, Sri Lanka join them in the final with 2 wins, and England end with just one win to their name, which is also their first win in ODIs in Pakistan since 2005. Next up, it is the big match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, with the winner taking home the tri-series trophy. The final will be played right here in Lahore, on Saturday, October 30, beginning at 8.30 am GMT. As usual, you can also join us much sooner for the build-up. Cheers!

4:32 PM IST Player of the Match - For his stellar knock of 167 runs off just 132 balls, Ben Duckett has been given the award.

4:22 PM IST Runs galore in Lahore - A very stark contrast to what we have seen in Lahore thus far. But a change in the deck also brought about a change in the amount of runs scored. From Pakistan getting bowled out for a meager 110 runs in the last game, to now a total of 717 runs being scored in this game, it certainly was a completely different feel to the game. Ben Duckett starred with the bat for England, hammering 167 runs alongside another half-century from Tom Banton, and a few starts in the English batting lineup propelled them to nearly 390 runs. Asitha Fernando was probably Sri Lanka's best bowler, but no one went for under 6 runs, which showed a complete lack of control, and eventually, it proved to be decisive as the total was a bridge too far for the Lankan batters.

4:15 PM IST Rathnayake nearly does it again - After losing an early wicket, skipper Kusal Mendis took matters into his own hands and counter-attacked brilliantly alongside Avishka Fernando. The duo put on 84 runs for the second wicket before Fernando was dismissed. Mendis then built another solid stand with Pavan Rathnayake, this time worth 80 runs before getting dismissed. Rathnayake attacked from one end and got some support from the likes of Janith Liyanage and Sahan Arachchige and brought up his second consecutive ton against England. However, with wickets falling around him and the pressure mounting, Rathnayake gave away his wicket to Dawson, who was in his final over, and maybe Rathnayake could have let him bowl out. But it is a tough one, as at that time, he had tailenders at the other end, so you can't fault him much.

4:11 PM IST Dawson stars with the ball - England came into this contest on the back of three straight defeats, and in all three of those matches, you feel that they let things slip and had only themselves to blame. Today as well, it looked like they would fumble with the ball, but Liam Dawson saved Harry Brook and his side from the blemishes. Sonny Baker started off well with an early wicket, but it was Dawson who broke a brewing second-wicket stand, and then went on to pick up the wickets of Dasun Shanaka and Pavan Rathnayake, both of whom were match-winners for Sri Lanka in their last meeting. Overall, England still have work to do with the ball and in the field as well, but will be very ecstatic to finish with a win.
