Sri Lanka vs England, 1st ODI, England tour of Sri Lanka 2026 - Player Highlights

Adil Rashid to Dhananjaya, out Lbw!! Dhananjaya walks back after playing a rusty knock. Dawson bowled a maiden in the last over and Adil Rashid picks a wicket in this over. Perfect tag-team effort by the two England spinners. Dhananjaya looks to play the lap shot, misses it altogether and gets rapped on the pads.
