Dushmantha Chameera to Sam Billings, OUT! CAUGHT! Very good catch by Wanindu Hasaranga and England in a little bit of bother here. Chameera goes slightly fuller this time around off. Billings looks to play it on the up but gets it off the outer half of his bat. It goes uppishly towards backward point. Wanindu Hasaranga there dives in front and takes a very good catch. England in a little bit of bother here but they still have a lot of batting to come. 106 still needed.

Dushmantha Chameera to Eoin Morgan, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! An excellent delivery to get rid of Morgan! Chameera bowls it on a length, right on the off pole. He is coming over the wicket so the ball goes with the angle and takes the outside edge while Morgan looks to defend. Kusal Perera takes it with ease. The umpire waits for a while but raises his finger eventually.

Chamika Karunaratne to Eoin Morgan, FOUR! Enough of blocking says, Morgan! This wasn't where he intended to hit this, but they'll still count as four runs! Length ball, outside off. Morgan comes down the track looking to go through the off side. But he gets the thick inside edge. The ball goes towards the wide long on fence. The fielder from deep mid-wicket runs across and drives but the bat these days have big edges too and the ball goes to the fence.

Binura Fernando to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! BOWLED! Dragged on! The Jonny Bairstow show comes to an end! 43 runs in 21 balls! Phew, what a knock he has played.

Chamika Karunaratne to Liam Livingstone, OUT! CAUGHT! Livingstone looks to go big but does not hit it cleanly and has to walk back to the shed. Sri Lanka get their first breakthrough, courtesy Chamika Karunaratne. Serves a short ball, on off, Liam Livingstone looks to heave it away but does not middle. He gets the leading edge and the ball flies towards the man at mid on, Dushmantha Chameera. Who takes an easy catch to depart the batsman. The new role of Liam Livingstone coming up the order does not last for long.

Binura Fernando to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! DISPATCHED! A length ball, on off, Jonny Bairstow pulls it over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum. He seems to be in a hurry. Could be because he wants to watch England's football team play against Germany today.
