Barring Ben Stokes, who scored 43 runs, none of the other England batters could capitalise on starts, and to make matters worse, Adil Rashid was dismissed in one of the most bizarre fashions.

In the 32nd over, Maheesh Theekshana delivered one wide down the leg side to David Willey. While it was called a wide by the umpire, Theekshana soon noticed Adil Rashid stepping out of the crease at the non-strikers’ end, and alerted wicketkeeper Kiusal Mendis, who then was prompt with the throw.
Rashid was eventually adjudged out for two runs.
Theekshana would later finish with figures of 1/21 from 8.2 overs. At the time of writing this report, Sri Lanka were 43/2 in eight overs, having lost Kusal Perera and Kusal Mendis.
