England v Sri Lanka: Upul Tharanga survives an appeal from James Anderson as England look to secure a semi-final place

Sajid Mahmood makes the first breakthrough when Sanath Jayasuriya drags back onto his stumps after a brisk 25

Sharp work in the field and disciplined bowling pegs Sri Lanka back and makes the decision to bat second look a good one

Mahmood strikes again and leaves Sri Lanka at 69-2, after Kumar Sangakkara spoons a slower ball to Paul Collingwood

Mahela Jayawardene and Tharanga consolidate and put pressure on the England bowlers in the middle of the innings

But Thuranga departs for 62 in the 35th over when a miscued pull off Flintoff balloons comfortably to Kevin Pietersen

Sri Lanka's momentum falters again when Collingwood removes Jayawardene for 56, and Ian Bell runs out Tillakaratne Dilshan

Flintoff dispatches Chamara Silva for 23 with a beautiful yorker as Sri Lanka stagger to 215-6 after 47 overs

A dazzling Collingwood catch accounts for Chaminda Vaas and two more wickets from Mahmood leave Sri Lanka 235 all out

England get off to a horrible start when Michael Vaughan wafts outside leg stump and is caught for 0 by Sangakarra

Lasith Malinga then traps Ed Joyce lbw to have both England openers back in the pavilion for just 11 runs

Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen steady the innings and push England on at a run-a-ball as their partnership passes 50

The duo take the score past 100 before Bell is harshly run out when Jayasuriya deflects a Pietersen drive onto the stumps

Pietersen reaches his half century but chips a return catch to Muttiah Muralitharan to leave England 126-4

And Andrew Flintoff plays an awful shot, skying Dilhara Fernando to Malinga at mid-off to depart for two

Fernando then removes Collingwood leg before wicket to leave England's innings in tatters at 133-6

But Paul Nixon reverse sweeps Murali for six as he and Ravi Bopara rescue England and take the score past 200

With 19 needed off two overs, Nixon mis-times a swipe off Malinga and spoons a catch to Jayawardene in the covers

Bopara reaches his half century in the final over as he and Mahmood chase 12 off six balls for victory

England need three off the last ball to win, but Bopara swings and misses, Fernando's delivery hits and Sri Lanka win by two runs
