Hello and welcome to the live updates of the fourth One-Day International (ODI) between England and Sri Lanka at the Oval. The hosts lead the five-match ODI series 1-2 after the first match ended in a tie and the third got washed off. Despite noyt having secured a win so far in the competition, Sri Lanka are still in with a chance of winning the series.

While Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal and Kusal Perera are in good form with the bat, their rest of the line-up has failed to show consistency. They will need to pick up in order to outshine an inspired and changed ODI outfit of England.

Squads:

England (From): Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler(w), Chris Woakes, David Willey, Liam Plunkett, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali, Steven Finn, James Vince

Sri Lanka (From): Kusal Perera, Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal(w), Angelo Mathews(c), Seekkuge Prasanna, Upul Tharanga, Dasun Shanaka, Farveez Maharoof, Suranga Lakmal, Nuwan Pradeep, Dhananjaya de Silva, Suraj Randiv

Eoin Morgan, England skipper, won the toss and elected to field. Even as Sri Lanka have been struggling with their batting, they haven't made any changes to their line-up. Despite gloomy clouds across London, as for now there are no signs of rain in the stadium.

Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Kusal Perera, Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal(w), Angelo Mathews(c), Seekkuge Prasanna, Upul Tharanga, Dasun Shanaka, Farveez Maharoof, Suranga Lakmal, Nuwan Pradeep

England (Playing XI): Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler(w), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, David Willey, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid

Well, it was raining for a while. However, the good news is that rain has stopped and as the drainage system at The Oval is very good, play will start on time. However, it still looks gloomy at the moment. Sri Lankan openers Kusal Perera and Danushka Gunathilaka are walking out to the middle. David Willey has the new Kookaburra ball in his hand and will look to generate swing.

England have struck early in the contest as Kusal Perera is run out. It was an ill-timed attempt for a single and it backfired on him.

Mendis takes a couple off Moeen Ali to bring up the 100 for Sri Lanka. Alex Hales, meanwhile, seems to have hurt himself. He's walking off the field.

Sri Lanka 114 for 1 after 17 overs and it is time for drinks.

And just as we started after the drinks break, rain has interrupted. The players are walking off while the covers are coming back on. Stay tuned as we get you the latest.

Yes, the covers are being peeled off. Rain has stopped. We'll have an update on the start time shortly, if it doesn't rain again that is.

There is an inspection at 4:20 PM London time, i.e. 8:50 PM IST

Meanwhile, here are the highlights of Mendis's unbeaten 75 thus far

It is going to be a 42-over-per-side contest. Sri Lanka resume from 127 for 1 after 18.1 overs.

Oh boy! The rain break has worked for England and they've got the big-hitting Kusal Mendis early. The word from the dugout was to attack, since the game has been reduced to 42 overs. Mendis was simply following the instructions but a terrific catch from Plunkett ends his valuable. 77 off 64 deliveries, well played young man!

In comes Dinesh Chandimal.

A single off the final ball off the over after the rain delay and Gunathilaka rings up his half-century. His first in the series

Two in two for Adil Rashid. He took out the dangerous Mendis in his first over after the rain break and now he strikes again to remove the other set batsman - Gunathilaka. Moeen Ali covers a fair bit of ground to pouch it in the mid-off region. 62 off 64, end of another brilliant knock.

Angelo Mathews is next up.

Hales, meanwhile, is still off the field.

Sixth consecutive 50-plus partnership between Mathews and Chandimal.

David Willey breaks the 87-run partnership between Chandimal and Mathews. Chandimal perishes, in his attempt to fetch his team some quick runs. But not before the vice-captain has contributed a very helpful 63 off 51 balls.

Two in two for David Willey too. He's now sent back Seekkuge Prasanna. Prasanna's two blazing half-centuries, one against Ireland and then against Ireland have ensured that the all-rounder is promoted ahead of Upul Tharanga in the batting order. It is, maybe, time to switch places?

Dasun Shanaka comes in. No Tharanga yet.

Half-century for captain Mathews. He's led form the front. Sri Lanka lost both their set batsman in quick succession after the forced break due to rain but he joined hands with his deputy, Chandimal, for a 87-run stand that kept Sri Lanka on course for a big total.

An over to go in the innings, Sri Lanka at 295 for 5.

Instead of Alex Hales, who is nursing a back niggle, Moeen Ali will open with Jason Roy. Suranga Lakmal with the new ball.

Mendis, Gunathilaka, Chandimal and Mathews all posted half-centuries to guide Sri Lanka to 305 for 5 form their allotted 42 overs. This is also Sri Lanka's first 300-plus total in the ODI series. England's target though has been adjusted to 308 since the rain arrived after the start of Sri Lanka's innings.

Oh, the promotion hasn't worked. Though it was a forced one. England got Moeen Ali to open, after Hales walked off with a back strain, and Nuwan PRadeep has struck in his second over to jolt England's tall chase of 308 early. The opener looked to drive, gives away an easy catch behind the stumps.Just the kind of start Sri Lanka were looking for.

Joe Root comes out to bat next. England 18 for 1 after 4 overs.

Fifty for Jason Roy, off just 39 deliveries. His second fastest in the 50-over format. He's well set, England need him to stick and convert this into a big score.

100-run partnership for the second wicket between Roy and Root. These two have ensured that England are on course. Remember, they chasing 308 off just 42 overs.

And here's a stat: This is the 1st time both Eng & SL have put up 100+ stand for the 2nd wicket in an ODI.

England are cruising at the moment. 166 for 1 at the end of 21 overs and need another 142 from as many, with nine wickets in hand. They are about 20 runs ahead of what Sri Lanka had at this point in their innings.

There it is! Century for Roy, off just 74 balls! His second hundred of the series.

In the absence of his regular opening partner Alex Hales, there was more pressure on Roy to give England the right platform, given the rain could return any moment. But he has responded phenomenally. Take a bow!

Sri Lanka need a couple of quick wickets or else the series will slip out of their hands.

Jinxed! Gunathilaka breaks the 149-run partnership for the second wicket by dismissing Root for 65.

Eoin Morgan comes out to take England's chase forward.

Oh Gunathilaka, you beauty! What a catch, that. Dives full length to his right, at backward point, to intercept Morgan's elegant cut. The English skipper falls for 22 off 27 and Lakmal gets his first wicket of the night.

He's scored a fifty, broken a crucial 149-run stand that was on the verge of knocking Sri Lanka out of the game and now this.

England 221 for 3 now, need another 87 off 72 balls. Bairstow is the next man in.

Oh by. Just 5 short of England's all-time highest score. Roy departs. And epic knock comes to an end. He's very, very disappointed with himself, but deep down would be the satisfaction of having done the job for his time. Walks out to a standing ovation from his home crowd as well as his teammates. 162 off 118 balls - hats off!

Jos Buttler joins hands with Bairstow with England still 27 shy of a 2-0 series win.

Bairstow and Buttler have polished off the remaining runs and England have chased down 308, in 42 overs mind you, with such ease! All credit must go to Jason Roy who has broken several English records tonight with his epic 162.

A big hundred was what England required, especially after losing their other regular opener. And Roy responded beautifully to the pressure. The fact that he's scored more than half the runs in the chase tells you how valuable that knock was. Sri Lankan bowlers, yet again, didn't impress at all.

England win by 6 wickets and clinch the series 2-0 with the final game to be played on Saturday.

Join us two days later for the live blog of the fifth game. Till then, ciao!
