Watch Liam Plunkett's late firework to rescure England against Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka were left shell-shocked as Liam Plunkett smashed a six off the last ball to help England draw the first ODI at Trent Bridge.

Jos Buttler's stylish 93 seemed to have guided the hosts to victory in Nottingham on Tuesday night after the loss of several early wickets, but the bowlers turned the screw.

England salvage draw with Sri Lanka

England needed an unlikely 30 off two overs, but reduced that total to 14 off the final over as Nuwan Pradeep prepared to bowl the game's final six balls.

Chris Woakes had done his bit with 95 - part of a seventh-wicket stand of 138 with Buttler - and he could only watch at the other end for the final delivery with partner Plunkett needing to get the ball over the boundary to rescue a draw.

Pradeep charged in and tried a yorker at off stump...
