[mikeatherton] Sri Lanka needed him today and he's responded. He's been in lovely silky touch after a quiet series.

Captain Mathews receives a hostile welcome from Jordan
6/3/2014 8:15:08 PM -
Over 39 - SL 162/4 (Thirimanne 42, Mathews 1)
That was a total misjudgment of length from Jayawardene, it was much too short for the shot attempted. Sri Lanka skipper Mathews is greeted with another round of boos from the crowd... Sri Lanka need 58 off 66 balls.6/3/2014 8:16:39 PM -
Over 40 - SL 164/4 (Thirimanne 43, Mathews 2)
Tredwell is back on and he's got two overs left. Plenty of chat from England's fielders for Mathews, including Buttler having his say. Two singles from the over, both driven down the ground. Sri Lanka need 56 off 60 balls.6/3/2014 8:20:10 PM -
Over 41 - SL 170/4 (Thirimanne 45, Mathews 5)
Jordan is back on, Anderson's still got one over left to use at some point. Cook saving it for now. Good running allows Mathews to turn one into two and Jordan is then called wide for a too-short bouncer. There are three other singles, including one steered off Mathews' outside edge to third-man, in an over costing six. Sri Lanka need 50 off 54 balls.6/3/2014 8:25:53 PM -
Cook has turned to Tredwell to try and save the series. Sri Lanka need 47: bit.ly/1pOQYlb #EngvSL http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BpO3Us7CQAAuSKW.png

Over 42 - SL 174/4 (Thirimanne 46, Mathews 8)
Four from the over as Tredwell completes figures of 2-30 from his allocation. Excellent effort from the Kent spinner. Sri Lanka need 46 off 48 balls.6/3/2014 8:29:34 PM -
[davidlloyd] It’s a doddle for Sri Lanka now. Star the car. That’s a point, where is my car?

Over 43 - SL 178/4 (Thirimanne 49, Mathews 9)
Thirimanne continues to accumulate against Jordan, including a well-placed two behind square on the off-side. The required-rate is now up to a run-a-ball. Sri Lanka need 42 off 42 balls.6/3/2014 8:34:15 PM -
50 up for Lahiru Thirimanne as Sri Lanka edge closer. 41 runs needed from 40 balls. bit.ly/1pOQYlb #EngvSL http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BpO5OaQCMAIVsbY.png

[50]Over 44 - SL 181/4 (Thirimanne 51, Mathews 10)
Gurney back on, he's got two overs left. Thirmanne completes his seventh ODI half-century from 89 deliveries (1x4, 1x6). It's not been particularly pretty, but he's doing the job for his side. Sri Lanka need 39 off 36 balls.6/3/2014 8:38:09 PM -
Over 45 - SL 191/4 (Thirimanne 53, Mathews 18)
Jordan to continue. Gurney is again in the action at third-man as Mathews' uppercut drops just short of him as he dives forward and runs away for four. Some sharp running between the wickets makes it 10 from the over in total, Mathews expertly using Jordan's extra pace to work the ball around. Sri Lanka need 29 off 30 balls.6/3/2014 8:45:17 PM -

Over 46 - SL 201/4 (Thirimanne 54, Mathews 27)
Sri Lanka target Gurney in his final over. Mathews advances and drives over mid-off for four and follows up by smashing another four over cover off the back foot. Gurney finishes with 0-46. Sri Lanka need 19 off 24 balls.6/3/2014 8:48:16 PM -
Anderson back on for his final over.6/3/2014 8:49:29 PM

[dropped-catch]Over 47 - SL 205/4 (Thirimanne 58, Mathews 27)
Anderson back on for his final over. Thirimanne helps the first delivery for four to midwicket, it was too short and asking to be hit. Root makes a diving stop at cover point to save some runs after Thirimanne middles a square drive. Dropped! Anderson gets his right hand on a return drive from Thirimanne but doesn't hold on. Tough chance, high to his right. Anderson finishes with 1-33. Sri Lanka need 15 off 18 balls.6/3/2014 8:54:51 PM -
CHANCE! Anderson puts down a difficult catch from Thirimanne! 15 needed from 18 balls. bit.ly/1pOQYlb #EngvSL http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BpO9nZ7CQAADXtF.png
