Sri Lanka off-spinner Sachithra Senanayake has been reported for a suspected illegal bowling action, the International Cricket Council has confirmed.
Senanayake, who has twice recorded career-best figures in the ongoing Royal London series against England, was reported by umpires Ian Gould and Marais Erasmus at the end of his team's victory at Lord's on Saturday.
He will be free to bowl again in the series decider at Edgbaston on Tuesday, but will face further scrutiny under ICC regulations.
"The umpires' report cited concerns over a number of deliveries that were considered to be suspect," the ICC said in a statement.
"Senanayake's bowling action will now be scrutinised further under the ICC process relating to bowlers reported in Tests, ODIs and T20Is.
"The off-spinner is required to undergo testing within 21 days, and, during this period, he is permitted to continue bowling in international cricket until the results of the testing are known."
England, who have twice led the one-day international series, face a decider on Tuesday after Sri Lanka held their nerve to inch a seven-run win at Lord's.
