Sri Lanka spree after Morgan puts them in

Kusal Mendis, Danushka Gunathilake, Dinesh Chandimal and captain Angelo Matthews all smashed half centuries as Sri Lanka made 305-5 in a rain-hit fourth one-day international at The Oval today.

Gunathilake joined the fun as Sri Lanka surged to 100 from just 91 balls, defying the blustery, cloudy and drizzly conditions.
Mendis lit up proceedings with three boundaries came off one Willey over and must have made England captain Eoin Morgan wonder if he had made the right choice to insert the tourists on a flat Oval wicket despite the overcast conditions.

England's spinners Rashid and Moeen Ali, who was recalled by England in place of Chris Jordan, received similar severe punishment from the Sri Lankan pair with Mendis racing to a half century off 44 balls.

Sri Lanka lost two quick wickets following a two and a quarter hour rain delay which reduced the game to a 42-over aside contest. Rashid grabbed both of them in 11 balls.

Gunathilake reached his half century but Mendis was snapped up by a diving Plunkett diving. In-form Chandimal stepped into the spotlight to continue his outstanding form, firstly smashing Ali for six. Gunathilake holed out to Ali off Rashid.
Angelo Matthews hammered Ali into the crowd and Chandimal did the same to Plunkett twice. The second six, a deliberate uppercut over third man with both feet off the ground, took him to 50.
Candimal was bowled around his legs by Willey but Matthews ensured the tourists passed the 300 total.
Hales was unable to open the England batting when the home side came out to try and chase down the winning total.
