ENG Women vs SL Women, 3rd T20I at Derby, ENG-W v SL-W, Sep 06 2023 - Match Result

HISTORY! Sri Lanka have won their first T20i series against England! Cross bowls a full toss, Samarawickrama flicks around the corner and the tourists have secured the series 2-1! Serious questions for England to answer, but what a performance for Sri Lanka!

Same movement, similar length, this time Samarawickrama misses out on the heave to cow corner

Full, inswinger, Perera goes to clear the front leg but doesn't do it well enough. There's a stifled LBW appeal as a single is scrambled. Bouchier meanwhile gathers, throws and misses at the nonstriker's end! That would have been out if she'd hit...

Cutter? Grip off a good length, surprises Perera, who plays out to leg with no real conviction

Swing into off stump, full enough for Perera to go at, but not good enough connection to beat Capsey at backward point

Full, just outside off, driven to mid off

Full, on leg stump, clipped brilliantly and saved just as well by Kemp, who makes up good ground along the legside sponge and sprawls the last few yards to save a couple

Leg cutter, full, into the left-hander, who drives off the outside half of her bat to point once more

In the air... and just beyond Cross running back from mid off! By no means convincing from Samarawickrama but a vital couple of runs

Full, bit of shape away, skewed out to backward point where Wyatt fields brilliantly, gathering cleanly, and even throwing down the nonstriker's stumps. Thankfully, the deflection doesn't cost overthrows

Outside off, good length, slight bit of cut on the ball and through to the keeper, just beyond the edge

Starts full on leg stump, flicked in front of square to the legside boundary rider

Sharper, outside off, guided down to third for a couple by Samarawickrama

flighted, good length, but a bit of extra bounce surprises the batter and she almost plays on

On with the arm, into middle stump, pushed out to cover off the back foot

Smart shot as Perera watches a good length off the pitch outside off, shifts her weight to the back foot and cuts through backward point. Would have gone for four but for some excellent fielding from Freya Kemp, who puts in a dive and claws the ball back a matter of inches from the sponge

Flighted, onto middle stump but short enough for Perera to skip down and drive beyond Capsey, who puts in a weak dive, for a single down to long on

Outside off, good length, cut to point. Capsey delayed the relase on that but well-watched by Perera

Fired into leg stump, off the pad, but no chance of being out given the angle. In fact, Sri Lanka are able to sneak a leg bye as the ball deflects into the off side to bring up the team 100...

Flatter, into off stump, pushed to point. Samarawickrama wants the single but Perera sends her back
