  1. SL 104-6

    Jamie Overton returns to the attack.

    Janith Liyanage and Sachindu Colombage each take a single.

  2. SL 102-6

    Three singles from the first half of Liam Dawson's over, three dot balls from the back half.

    The first of those runs brings up Sri Lanka's hundred.

  3. Ebony Rainford-Brent

    England wanted to bat and made sure they got a good score on board in case any bad weather came in. Janith Liyanage's a very clean striker of the ball.

  4. 6 runs

    SL 99-6

    Hello there, Janith Liyanage.

    He sweeps the second ball from Joe Root, who is jogging back to his mark between deliveries, for four through backward square and then cracks the third down the ground for six.

    One further single from the rest of the over and we'll now definitely get a result.

    Sri Lanka would need to be on 265 to win should it rain now, so they're just a little off the pace.

  5. SL 88-6

    And three more singles from Liam Dawson's latest.

    England are getting through the overs swiftly as they try to beat the possibility of rain.

    20 overs and this is a match and would be decided on the DLS method.

  6. SL 85-6

    Thanks Matthew.

    Joe Root rattles through his second over, with three singles coming from it.

  7. SL 82-6

    Target 356

    Mike Peter is going to take this one to the finish.

    England will win. It's just a matter of how quickly.

    Losing wickets is not helping and what it is doing is taking time out of the game.

    The spinners have come on and there's a lot of chaos.

    England are in the driving seat. England could get this done before the rain comes.

    Another goes as Dinuth Wellalage top edges a sweep. This is going to be a massive defeat.

    We don't know if it going to rain or not. It is around and about....

  11. SL 78-5

    DLS par score: 224

    Joe Root is running back to his mark between deliveries. Is that just to keep the pressure on? Maybe he thinks rain is coming.

    There needs to have been 20 overs to constitute a game.

    WICKET

    Asalanka c Overton b Root 7 (SL 77-5)

    Sri Lanka are falling in a heap! With the pitch offering turn, Joe Root is thrown into the attack. Charith Asalanka tries to give him a whack but only offers a catch to Jamie Overton. It's actually a very good take from the big quick running back from mid-on.

  13. So we **think** that was out because Jofra Archer's throw was powerful enough to take the stump out of the ground.

    Umpires overturning their already made decision is a bit messy, isn't it?

    Hold on, now it says 'Out' on the big screen! It just said 'Not out' on the screen. What is going on?

  17. The on-field umpires are coming in for a chat with the batters. It's going to be bad news for Sri Lanka, I reckon.

  18. Pavan Rathnayake is well short of his ground.

    Not out has been shown on the big screen.

    But now they're having another look.

  19. Ebony Rainford-Brent

    A perfect bit of fielding from Jofra Archer. He swooped in and in movement he took it.

    Jordan Cox has got tight to the stumps, as he realised it was going to hit the stumps, so he tried to pull his hands away from the stumps...

  20. Well, then... This is interesting. Jordan Cox has knocked the bails off but Archer throw takes the stump clean out of the ground.
