England were celebrating an unlikely victory deep in the Sri Lankan jungle  – but for Alastair Cook it may have come at a price. While the tourists were rejoicing in a desperately needed win that closes the deficit to 2-1 and breathes life into a side that had been inviting ridicule, their captain was waiting to hear if he would face a one-match ban for England’s slow over-rate. As Sri Lanka ran up 242 for eight in a game shortened by a biblical downpour to 35 overs a side, Cook’s team were 18 minutes off the pace. Fined for the same offence against India at Cardiff in August, he could now be banned for Sunday’s crucial game in Colombo.
