- Eng 171-4 (20 ovs) vs SL | SCORECARD

Perera, who conceded 18 runs in his first over, comes back. He starts the final over with a good yorker to Morgan, who is struck on the feet and gets a leg bye.

The next ball is a full toss which Buttler drives straight back to the bowler, who stops it before he effects the run out of Morgan, who had backed up a long way.

Buttler gets two runs from the third ball as the fielder at deep midwicket misfields before he is beaten by a yorker. Another yorker which Buttler digs out for one before Ben Stokes carts the last ball of the innings, a full toss, over midwicket for a six.

England post a huge 171 for four in their 20 overs, having smashed 72 runs from the last five overs.

Buttler was instrumental in England's late assault as he hammered 66 from 37 balls, hitting eight fours and two sixes.
