Early breakthrough for England with Bashir catching Mendis off the bowling of Atkinson.
Sri Lanka need 110 runs, England need 8 wickets.

England threw that one away with some poor performances with bat and ball but fair play to Sri Lanka for dominating the latter part of the match.
England win the series 2-1 but miss out on a first perfect test summer since 2004.

Meanwhile, England women are in Ireland for a 3-game ODI series and 2 T20s. An inexperienced England side won the first ODI on Saturday by 4 wickets, chasing down their target of 211 with 15 overs to spare. England are batting first in the 2nd ODI and have made 320-8, with Tammy Beaumont hitting an unbeaten 150.
The men are back in action on Wednesday when they face Australia in the first of 3 T20s, followed by 5 ODIs. Phil Salt will captain England in the T20s due to Jos Buttler being injured and the non-selection and subsequent international retirement of Moeen Ali. Marcus Trescothick will be coach on an interim basis until test coach Brendon McCullum takes over as white ball coach as well next year.

Squad for England's tour of Pakistan:
Ben Stokes (c) Rehan Ahmed Gus Atkinson Shoaib Bashir Harry Brook Brydon Carse Jordan Cox (w) Zak Crawley Ben Duckett Josh Hull Jack Leach Ollie Pope Matthew Potts Joe Root Jamie Smith (w) Olly Stone Chris Woakes
Dan Lawrence is dropped after failing to make the most of his opportunities against Sri Lanka replacing the injured Zak Crawley. Mark Wood is out for the rest of the year with an elbow injury.
The three tests are scheduled for Karachi, Rawalpindi and Multan but the Karachi test is likely to be moved due to bulding work being behind schedule.

Ireland's women have won the 3rd ODI for their first win over England since 2001. In a game reduced to 22 overs per side due to rain, England were bowled out for 154 with 7 balls still remaining. Ireland looked well on course for victory but stuttered as they lost 3 wickets in 3 balls during the final over. Needing 4 off the last ball, Alana Dalzell found the boundary with the help of a mis-field by Hollie Armitage to seal the win by 3 wickets.

England bowl Australia out for 179 in 19.3 overs in the first T20. Australia were 118-2 after 10 overs but some excellent bowling restricted them to 61-8 in the second half of the innings.

They did well to get that close as I gave up at 51-4.

Given it's a rather inexperienced side, I would hope to see a significant improvement in the 2nd game on Friday. Sunday's 3rd game is live on BBC, by the way

An impressive response by England to chase down 194 to beat Australia in the 2nd T20 in Cardiff. Liam Livingstone hit 87 off 47 balls as England reached their target with an over to spare.

Pity the final T20 has been abandoned. I was looking forward to watching it on BBC1 today.

Same.
Meanwhile, the women are playing Ireland in their 2nd T20, having comfortably won the first yesterday by 67 runs. Ireland are chasing 170 and are 21-1 after 3 overs.

Ireland win by 5 wickets with a ball to spare, thanks mainly to Orla Prendergast's 80. It's Ireland's first win over England in a women's T20.
