49.5 overs: Sri Lanka 430-8 (Liyanage 61, Asitha Fernando 1), target 430. So what can Liyanage do under pressure – Tongue puts it tight in the slot … and Liyanage sends it straight over everyone’s head for a brutal six to win the game, and complete one of the greatest ODI run chases the game has ever seen. Harry Brook’s heroics were in a losing cause.
