Live Cricket Streaming England vs Sri Lanka 1st Test DAY-5 18-Jan 2021
Hettige Thirimanne played a wonderful knock of 111 runs and scored his maiden Test century today against England. However, the collapse of the first innings was too much to recover for the Sri Lankan batsman and Thirimanne’s century might also end up in the loosing cause. Angelo Mathews was the only other batsman to get going in the 3rd innings for Sri Lanka. He scored 71 runs before getting out to J Leach.
Mattew Leach got his first ever five wicket haul for Team England. Dominic Bess was once again amongst the wicket takers and he took 3 crucial wickets. England had a target of only 73 runs however, Sri Lankan bowlers made it extremely difficult for them to get going. The tourist lost their three wickets on 38 runs. The biggest wicket came from a runout of Joe Root on Dickwella’s throw. Root who had scored a double century in the first innings could only manage to score 1 run.

FOUR! Dilruwan Perera to Jonny Bairstow. Off break length ball, down leg side on the front foot sweeping, well timed past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. That's curtains down on the first Test. England has won by seven wickets. Sri Lanka must be killing themselves for not scoring enough in the first innings. Yet the Sri Lankans can pat themselves on the back for coming back strongly and showing great fighting spirit. Joe Root is adjudged as the Player of the Match for his stellar performance with the bat. This is the first time since 1982 that two spinners from England have picked up five wickets in the same match. Join us for the final Test from the same venue on January 22. Until then, Cheers.

OUT! Bowled. Dom Bess to Wanindu Hasaranga. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, missed to. You miss, I hit! Hasaranga looks to reverse sweeps this away but misses it completely, and the ball crashes onto the stumps. It's tea on Day 1. Sri Lanka have been bundled out for 135 under 50 overs. For Sri Lanka, Dinesh Chandimal top-scored with 28 and was well supported by Angelo Mathews with 27. Poor batting display from Sri Lanka in the first innings overall and this is the lowest score in the first innings on this ground. On behalf of England, Dominic Bess bagged five wickets to his name. Stuart Broad with three and Jack Leach with a wicket to his name. Excellent bowling display from England bowlers. Join us for England's first innings shortly.

Tomorrow's morning session will be crucial for both the teams as England will look to post a huge total on the board whereas the host will look for early wickets.

Runs : 8 Bowler: Asitha Fernando Wickets : 0
Welcome back to the Day 2 action. England are at 127 for the loss of two wickets, and they trail by eight runs with eight wickets remaining in hand. Can the English batsmen play through the Sri Lankan spin trio and make a big total or Will the Sri Lankan bowlers make inroads? There's a slight drizzle in the morning and the covers are on the field. Good news from the center. Play due to start at 11:10am local time.
