    Jamie Overton is a 'hot spot' fielder for England - they like to have him where the ball goes most often because he has bucket hands and doesn't drop many.

    Target 255

    Here's Adil Rashid.

    Sri Lanka's batters work him around for seven runs, with a run scored off every delivery.

    The required run-rate is now exactly 17 an over.

    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    England have licence to bowl with aggression because Sri Lanka's target is so far away.

  4. How's stat?!

    Sri Lanka equalled England's dot ball total (22) for their innings after just six overs of their own.

  5. SL 44-3

    Target 255

    Liam Dawson comes on to bowl as the fielders go back.

    Charith Asalanka and Dasun Shanaka both pick-up fours with under-edged sweeps, the former's a reverse that goes very fine and the latter's beating a stumbling Josh Tongue and dribbling to the ropes.

    What a summer Harry Brook is having as England white-ball captain. He’s brilliant isn’t he. You are a wizard Harry.

  7. SL 32-3

    Target 255

    No run for new batter Dasun Shanaka as the powerplay comes to an end.

    England were 90-1 at this stage.

    Udara was actually in a good position. The ball was there to be deflected over the wicketkeeper's head, but he got too much height on it here.

    Ramped... not enough on it!

    A second wicket in the over for Sonny Baker as Lahiru Udara drops into a crouch to play for the boundary behind the keeper, but drops the ball some way short and Adil Rashid makes some good ground to take the catch from backward square.

  10. SL 32-3

    Captain Charith Asalanka comes in with Sri Lanka in a bit of trouble.

    He gets his innings going with a single off his third delivery.

  11. Russel Arnold
    Ex-Sri Lanka all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Baker went wide of the crease and angled it in. Mishara just planted his foot and swung the bat, almost hoping he'd make contact. It's not looking good for Sri Lanka.

    WICKET

    Mishara b Baker 10 (SL 31-2)

    Bowled him!

    Angling in from Sonny Baker, bowling round the wicket to the left-handed Kamil Mishara.

    He beats the Sri Lanka opener for pace and takes out the leg stump.

  13. SL 31-1

    Target 255

    Josh Tongue finishes the over with a couple of dot balls to Lahiru Udara.

    Mishara dropped on nine

    SL 31-1

    Skied by Kamil Mishara!

    The ball drops rapidly towards Will Jacks at backward point, who staggers taking the catch and sees the ball drop through his hands - he wasn't at all balanced there.

    Mishara takes a single to move to 10.

  15. Russel Arnold
    Ex-Sri Lanka all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Lahiru Udara is pretty instinctive and has earned his chance in the team through his domestic performances. Even in red-ball cricket he scores quickly.

  16. SL 29-1

    Ooof, half-volley from Josh Tongue and Lahiru Udara slaps that away through the covers for four.

  17. SL 25-1

    Target 255

    Lahiru Udara comes in a three and immediately gets off the mark with a single to mid-on.

    Kamil Mishara then adds his first boundary, sweeping Will Jacks through backward square.

  18. Russel Arnold
    Ex-Sri Lanka all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    That was not a wicket-taking delivery. He's tried to take mid-on and got it high on the bat, no timing from Pathum Nissanka.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Nissanka c Overton b Jacks 12 (SL 20-1)

    Pathum Nissanka picks out Jamie Overton!

    Having taken a couple of twos out to the leg side boundary, the Sri Lanka opener tries to lift Will Jacks over mid-on.

    It's Jamie Overton stationed out there and the tall seamer pedals back to take the catch.

    Showing my age but there’s a lot of Darren Gough in Sonny Baker, from the skiddy nature to the pace, not to mention the enthusiasm. Definitely fun to watch.
