Tis like batting on a sticky wicket!!

7th down - batter spun round and hit wicket with bat...strange dismissal

[Flamingo Lane]

Great fielding there to catch that. 8.

It's truly amazing how far Sri Lanka have slipped down the cricket scale. This is a very poor team.

[KNVillan]

All out for 95. Excellent bowling & fielding by England

[Baldy]

Fantastic win. Well done lads.

[PaulWinch again]

Heck of a win that.

They absolutely smashed the Aussies a couple of games ago. Their limited overs record at home over recent years is very good

The washout in yesterday’s game between New Zealand and Pakistan should mean that one more win for England should be enough to secure a semi final spot. However, given our patchy form in the tournament so far I’m expecting qualification to go down to the wire.

lol...Aussies turned up as a shamble of a team for this tournament and have gone home early. Sri Lanka will lose all 3 games.

Think we could do with moving Buttler out of the opening spot really.  I'd be looking to bring Duckett back in and drop Buttler down the order for maybe Bantin.  Think Curran is probably.one too high at 6 and we could probably do with strengthening the batting a bit, but you then probably lose a bowling option. 

[PaulWinch again]

Curran is better the higher he goes up the order. Also Banton has been good this tournament.

[manic-road]

I hope Buttler can find some form with the bat today, long overdue a decent knock.
