BEN STOKES kept his cool and guided England to victory over Sri Lanka and a place in the Twenty20 World Cup semi-finals.
Stokes remained strong during a dramatic England collapse that turned an apparent cruise to victory into a tense final few overs.
The Durham all-rounder finished 42 not out from 36 balls as England beat Sri Lanka by four wickets with two balls remaining.
So England emerge from Group One of the Super 12s on net run-rate and their semi-final will be in Adelaide on Thursday – most likely against India.
Their win has the delicious added bonus of knocking out hosts and reigning champs Australia from their own tournament.
