Kumar Sangakkara laid the foundation before Angelo Mathews completed a nervy chase as Sri Lanka beat England by six wickets in the fourth ODI to go 3-1 up in the seven-match series on Sunday.
Sangakkara hit a sparkling 86 but it was Mathews’ fine, if not flawless, captain’s knock of 51 not out that helped the hosts overwhelm the 266-run victory target with two balls to spare at Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium.
James Taylor’s career-best 90 and Eoin Morgan’s belligerent 62 had powered England to 265 all out in 50 overs, nine of the wickets claimed by spinners.
Sri Lanka looked in trouble at 69 for two but Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, who have played over 800 ODIs between them, added 96 runs for the third wicket to put the chase back on track.
Jayawardene dragged a Chris Jordan delivery onto his stumps to depart, while Sangakkara perished chasing a wide delivery from the same bowler.
England maintained the pressure and were nearly rewarded but Alex Hales spilled a Mathews catch in the 46th over from an exasperated Jordan.
Despite conceding 20 extra runs including 12 wide balls, the visiting bowlers showed enough fight to take the game to the last over but Mathews hit Steven Finn for a boundary to bring up his 50 and seal victory.
Pallekele hosts the fifth match on Wednesday.
Earlier, regular England captain Alastair Cook’s suspension, due to a slow over-rate offence, handed Taylor an opportunity and the 24-year-old grabbed it.
Opting to bat first, England wobbled early as Hales fell for a golden duck and the in-form Moeen Ali (19) was sent back by Tillakaratne Dilshan (3-64).
The 93-run partnership between Taylor and Joe Root (36) steadied the innings before left-arm spinner Rangana Herath (3-36) dismissed Root.
Taylor, who completed his maiden ODI fifty in 69 balls with the help of two fours and as many sixes, developed cramps and became one of the three victims of spinner Ajantha Mendis.
At 170 for three in the nike roshe women 35th over, England looked set for a huge total but the Sri Lankan spinners, who bowled the final 21 overs of the innings, showed considerable discipline to restrict the visitors.
Their cricketing epitaph has been written by all and sundry but a day after being omitted from the World Cup probables’ list, it was business as usual for Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir as they trained at the Delhi team’s nets with deadpan expressions on their faces.
The ageing duo looked like members of a ‘lonely planet’ at the picturesque Roshanara Club ground where the other members of the Delhi team were going through the paces.
While all the other members wore whites (a custom followed by lot of teams to get into the groove), these two were wearing colourful track suits. The ‘difference’ in every aspect was palpable.
They have been champions in their own rights and no one can deny that any kind of rejection hurts a performer’s ego.
Gambhir spoke to the small group of reporters present but only after clarifying that he doesn’t want to speak on World Cup and will stick to Delhi’s Ranji Trophy preparations.
Gambhir’s fascination for playing home games at seamer-friendly Roshanara is well-known and the reason he gave was no different from what has been heard already.
“I know it’s better to play on batting friendly tracks (Feroz Shah Kotla) but what’s the use of scoring 800 runs if your team doesn’t qualify for knock-outs. Batsmen can set up matches but it’s the bowlers who will have to take 20 wickets to win matches. The Roshanara strip gives me an option to play five specialist bowlers,” Gambhir spoke in reference to Delhi’s opening Ranji Trophy encounter against Saurashtra, starting Sunday.
Sehwag didn’t even wait that long. Did his usual round of batting at the nets, had a rub down in the dressing room and before anyone knew left the ground before all his teammates entered the confines of the dressing room.
At the nets, he was in a mood to hit everything out of sight — most of which didn’t connect well but interestingly the last shot — an inside-out lofted shot over covers that broke the window pane of the private club’s library.
In between there was old guard Sumeet Narwal and young Navdeep Saini, who troubled Sehwag with seam movement.
Once through with his batting, Sehwag did some slip catching practice. The expression on his face didn’t give away anything. His batting position according to his captain nike roshe run women will be the “middle-order”.
For Gambhir, speaking about Ranji preparations was more an act of obliging the handful of scribes present as one could sense that he had to push himself about answering questions.
He spoke about giving juniors a “secure dressing room environment”.
“There are a lot of juniors in the side and my aim as a captain would be to give them a secure dressing room environment. Whether you are playing junior cricket or Ranji Trophy, a secured dressing room environment is key to a team’s success,” said

One of the leading figures in worldwide golf sponsorship has claimed the sport has moved on from the position where marquee figures such as Tiger Woods are necessary to boost tournament interest.
The WGC-HSBC Champions event gets under way in Shanghai this week with the injured Woods not in the field. Rory McIlroy, who is in the midst of a messy legal battle with his former management company, and the fatigued Phil Mickelson, are also notable by their absences from an event that otherwise boasts 40 of the world’s top 50 players.
Giles Morgan, HSBC’s global head of sponsorship and events, believes golf’s growth in China has seen something of a sea change. He also hinted that the days of Woods routinely claiming US$3m or so (£1.87m) in tournament appearance fees may be gone. There is currently no suggestion Woods will play at HSBC’s flagship European Tour event, in Abu Dhabi in January.
“When golf in China was a much smaller sport Tiger was the firepower which moved the needle,” Morgan explained. “That has grown and grown. That momentum has made the sport a much bigger force than just one individual, which is exactly right. We know that if we get 80% of the world’s top nike air max 95 players at this time of the season, we are in a good place.
“I’m sad for Rory, I’m disappointed, but we have that momentum behind us already; we had it two or three years ago. Every top player in the world is welcome to play this event if they qualify and we would be delighted to have them here. But we have moved beyond the point where we just need ‘a player’ to turn up to boost PR, gratification and media coverage. We are not interested nike air max 95 in that, we are interested in genuine growth of the sport and I think we are sitting on a fantastic new chapter.”
Both the European and US PGA Tours understandably have their eyes fixed on the Asian market. Last year’s WGC event at the Sheshan International club had a household TV reach in excess of 500 million. In Shanghai, almost 30 courses now exist in comparison to just one in the early 1990s. Another key statistic notes the expectation that 42% of the world’s middle class, the sport’s core market, will live in Asia by 2020.
“In Asia, there is great appetite for golf and the sport therefore needs to think carefully about it. There is opportunity and the right people need to sit down together,” Morgan added.
He therefore shrugged off the impact of being without those who have chosen not to travel for this week. “I don’t have my head in my hands here because the field is strong,” he said. “I also don’t believe any individual is bigger than the game.
“Tiger hasn’t been able to play here on a few occasions. He is now injured. I have no doubt at all that in the future the world No1, whoever that is, such is the growth of the game in China, they will be back. All of the great players will continue to be here.”
Morgan added: “The laws of geography and scheduling mean you are always going to lose one or two. We are quite sanguine about that. Phil has had a punishing season, I think he is quite tired.
“We also respect Rory’s decision. He feels at the moment he is not able to play because of what is going on from a personal point of view. There is nothing we can do about it. It is disappointing, of course it is, but it doesn’t detract from the tournament.”
Henrik Stenson, who will return this week following the birth of his third child, concurred. “If you are playing professional sports you want to beat the best in the world and win the biggest tournaments. This is one of them,” the Swede said. “You can always look at the couple of players who aren’t here but that’s a bit like shooting eight-under on a back nine and looking at the one hole you made par on instead of being happy with eight birdies.”

Ryan Moore successfully defended his CIMB Classic title in Malaysia on Sunday, as fellow American Gary Woodland again had to settle for second place. Moore, who beat Woodland in a play-off at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club 12 months ago, carded a closing 67 to finish 17 under par, three shots ahead of Woodland, Kevin Na and Spain’s Sergio García.
“It’s been a great week,” said Moore, who recorded eight birdies and three bogeys after beginning the lebron james pantofole scarpe final round tied for the lead with Na. “I’m a little bit lost for words right now. To come back and defend like this, that’s something I have never done so it makes it that much more special.
“To do it the way I did, hitting some great shots coming down the stretch and making some birdies when I needed to, is great. Last year was a lot more stressful. I had to get up and down from 65 yards just to get into a play-off. I got to enjoy this more, although I was still making it a little bit too interesting.”
Woodland also carded a closing 67 with six birdies and just one bogey on the par-five 18th, while Na birdied four of his first nine holes but then bogeyed the 13th and ran up a double-bogey six on the 17th to end his chances.
García was also left to rue a lebron james pantofole scarpe costly double-bogey, in his case on the par-five 10th after a front nine of 33, although he bounced back with birdies on the 11th and 14th to post a final round of 69.
“Congrats to e, hit some great shots coming in!” the Spaniard tweeted. “I felt like I had a good chance but the lost ball on 10 didn’t help. We’ll keep at it!”
Ryder Cup team-mate Lee Westwood, who won the Malaysian Open on the same course in April, finished in a tie for 13th after a closing 68, having hit a hole in one earlier in the week.
The 25-year-old star, who is expecting her first child with fiancéWladimir Klitschko, took to Twitter today to show off her costume while simultaneously flaunting her growing baby bump.

The fractious nature of Welsh rugby is likely to be on show again on Thursday evening during discussions to appoint a chairman of the Guinness Pro12.
It is the turn of Wales to put forward a candidate to take over the role. Normally this is a straightforward process but not so this year as the country’s regions and national union look to stake a claim for their own man at a meeting in Dublin.
The regions, with support of representatives from Scotland and Ireland, want Gerald Davies to become the league’s chairman, with the former nike air force Wales and Lion wing and, up until this summer, Welsh Rugby Union board member, having made it clear to his backers he is keen on the role.
However, Roger Lewis, the chief executive of the WRU, is determined to see David Pickering become chairman, despite member clubs having ousted him from the same position with the union earlier this year.
The stand-off will provide Gareth Davies with his first real test since he replaced Pickering at the WRU. The former Wales captain is known to favour Gerald Davies’s appointment as Pro 12 chairman.
All this comes after the WRU signed a service agreement with the regions just before the start of the Pro 12 season after more than 18 months of dispute between both parties.
"I've just got to learn," she concluded, shaking her head. "One, you can't be irreverent. Two, you've got to be very careful with humor. Three, you know. I never learn. I've been doing this so long..."
But for the record, she and husband Keith Urban planning on adding to their family? She is mom to son Connor and daughter Isabella with ex Tom Cruise, while she and Keith have daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, the younger born via surrogate, together.
"I mean, I would be blessed to have another child know, we our family," Kidman said. "The chances of it are very slim, but hey, I'd be blessed."

And speaking of her other half, Giddings asked how her hubby felt about her love scene with onscreen hubbyColin Firth in , in which she plays a woman who wakes up every morning with no memory of the past 20 years after what she initially was a car accident.
"Yikes, I don't remember that," Kidman played coy. Watch the clip, meanwhile, to hear all about her approach to shooting sex scenes and how Keith reacts when his wife's job takes her into racy territory.
But while there is that nike air max 1 "quick, quick scene" between her and Firth, Kidman joked that her nude scene—which comes within the film's first few minutes—may not even be her.
"That's a younger me," the 47-year-old beauty joked. Asked if she tacked on any extra squats or otherwise prepared for getting naked on camera, she quipped, "No, I have to say. Probably should've, right?"
, also starring Mark Strong and Anne-Marie Duff, is in theaters Friday.
