By Rory Dollard, Pa Cricket CorrespondentPublished: 11:29 EDT, 4 July 2021 | Updated: 11:58 EDT, 4 July 2021England were denied a 6-0 tour whitewash over Sri Lanka by an almighty downpour in Bristol, but not before Tom Curran took the chance to find some form against obliging opponents. England had previously restricted Sri Lanka to 185 and 241 and they were ready to incite another barrel-scraping effort from the top order. There would be no reprise, with the all-rounder managing a single boundary by way of protest before swatting Woakes' bouncer straight to fine-leg. With the match withering appreciably as a contest there was already the whiff of anti-climax, but with his place under scrutiny, the stakes were real for Tom Curran. The rain meant that was the last action possible, sparing Sri Lanka another inevitable defeat.
