That's all from us folks! Hope you enjoyed the coverage. Until next time then ...

Post match thoughts -

Morgan: We have certainly improved on our last game. It can't find fault with our bowlers. Tom Curran coming in fresh. Stokes, who didn't bowl much in the series did a magnificent job. Rashid - picking four wickets in a 21 over game, that did hold SL's progress, on a track which was so good to bat on - was a fantastic job. Full credit goes to our bowlers. We learned what worked and what didn't as the game progressed. We bowled slower balls and the cutters really well. We have a aggressive opening partnership. They have full licence to do that. That's the way they play. The wicket was very very good. Really good headaches. Competition for the places is extremely high, which is a healthy atmosphere. The challenge for us is setting challenges for ourselves. The outfield was out, as regards as clean catches - we set good standards.

Thisare Perera: We got good start, but we couldn't continue including myself. We were thinking we have only 21 overs. We were 30-35 runs short. Last few matches, bowling partnership has been good. We got to blame the batsmen. I think he (Chandimal) will be okay for the next match

Rashid: It was nice. It felt good. We bowled exceptionally as a team. It came out nicely today. We get used to it. You have to find a way and I found it. He backs each bowler. He backs me in any situation. He saved me for a couple of overs.
