Banton 54*, Brook smashes 36 off 12 balls as England take 2-0 series lead
Numerous apologies, intense scrutiny but, still, he goes and does that. Harry Brookâs 12-ball 36 helped England chase down a revised target of 168 in the second Twenty20 international against Sri Lanka, securing the touristsâ second series victory of the week.
England had initially been set 190, but a rain break prompted a change of equation; when Brook emerged England needed 87 from 7.5 overs in a reduced game. He put on an exhibition over extra cover to turn the chase his sideâs way. While the captainâs knock was brief, Tom Banton made his case for a starting spot at the World Cup, putting aside his tough time in the field to stay the course with an excellent, unbeaten on 54.
