below par

She served below par and hit too many unforced errors as Kudermetova, now ranked 75th, showed her pedigree.

Teenager Luke Littler made it through to the fourth round of the PDC World Darts Championship despite a below par performance against Ian White.

Phil Salt made a careful and uncharacteristic 74 and Mousley hit his first ODI fifty but their total of 263-8 proved well below par as Keacy Carty and Brandon King stroked centuries for the hosts.

Their total of 119 felt fractionally below par as Mostary and opener Shathi Rani, who made 29, relied on running well between the wickets rather than flurries of boundaries as Scotland's bowlers were impressively disciplined.

England have been below par in this match, not least on a second day when Sri Lanka moved to 211-5, 114 behind on first innings.
