Sri Lanka vs England, 3rd ODI, England tour of Sri Lanka 2026 - Player Highlights

Vandersay to Jacob Bethell, out Caught by Janith Liyanage!! Good catch at deep mid-wicket and Jacob Bethell can't believe it. He leans on his helmet as he sinks low unable to believe he has found the man. Was short on the stumps, he goes on the back foot and pulls flat, but Liyanage judges it well, leaps a little and reverse-cups that. Was hit flat and hard and he judged it nicely. The stand is broken and Sri Lanka would be relieved. They were bleeding runs in the last couple of overs. Jacob Bethell c Janith Liyanage b Vandersay 65(72) [4s-8]
