PLUNKETS LAST BALL SIX MADE A THRILLING FINISH FOR ENGLAND

England made great finish at the end as they managed to tie the match after the collapse of top order
i.e 86 for 6 wickets down .
Jos buttler and Liam Plunket made englands come back into the match by thier brilliant batting .

In that last over Woakes and Plunkett needed 14 for the win, and while a scrambled three off the penultimate ball – aided by a misfield - effectively ruled out a victory, the junior partner held his nerve to send the seamer Nuwan Pradeep into the night sky and share the spoils.



SRILANKA = 286-9
ENGLAND  = 286-8

It was a great start to the series and hoping for the same kind of in ahead of the matches.
Woakes, whose 95 not out was the highest score by a No8 in ODI cricket.
MOT was rightly given to him as he led his team to a draw with buttler and plunket.

Ater match Mathews said: “I thought we had the game in the bag for most of the overs. Unfortunately the yorker fell just off line and went for a six.”
