ToggleSri Lanka vs England – Pallekele Test 2018:

In the second match of the 2018 three-match series, Roshen Silva played a cut short while facing Jack Leach. The right-hander made a schoolboy error and didn’t bother to run as he thought that the ball will carry to the fence. However, it wasn’t to be the case as Moeen Ali stopped the ball and threw it back. Subsequently, Silva had to hurry back into his crease and thus ran in the middle of the pitch.
The umpires, Marais Erasmus and S Ravi noticed the same and gave five penalty runs against Silva. The right-hander scored 85 but England won the match by 57 runs. The visitors were able to clean sweep the hosts by 3-0 as they came up with a dominating display.
