1.3 to WIA Fernando, oh my! Fullish and he's spooned that straight to Chris Jordan at mid-off! Safe hands there, Jordan only had to take a step to his right and he gobbled up the catch. An early breakthrough for England.. 3/1 19.6 to MD Shanaka, length ball outside off, pace off again, top-edged to the keeper! Slogged straight up and Buttler walks forward a few paces to swallow the chance. So Shanaka falls to the final ball, but he's helped give the innings a sheen of respectability. 129/7 | ||||||||||
| Mark Wood | 4 | 0 | 33 | 1 | 8.25 | 10 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
8.3 to DM de Silva, short ball, well outside off, he goes for a high cut but it sails into the air and straight to third man! Sri Lanka lose another. 52/4 | ||||||||||
| Chris Jordan | 4 | 0 | 29 | 1 | 7.25 | 7 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
4.3 to MD Gunathilaka, oh, and he just un-did his good work, back of a length, he goes to scoop it over his head and does just that but he skies it high! Jos Buttler has all the time in the world to wait for it to drop into his gloves and England have another wicket. 31/2 | ||||||||||
| Liam Livingstone | 2 | 0 | 9 | 1 | 4.50 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
7.5 to BKG Mendis, full and right on middle stump, he goes to sweep across the line and is struck on the pad! It hit him pretty low. Sri Lanka review, UltraEdge shows no bat involved and ball tracking shows it's hitting! England get another wicket and Sri Lanka lose a review.. 49/3 | ||||||||||
| Adil Rashid | 4 | 0 | 17 | 2 | 4.25 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
13.1 to MDKJ Perera, tally hooooooooooo... but plopped to mid-off! KJP comes down but slices across a googly and Jordan only has to jog in from the rope and steady himself for a simple catch. Rashid amongst 'em now, this is getting messy for the visitors. 79/5 15.4 to PWH de Silva, loops this up a bit more, slogged down town... and that's a gimme for Jordan at long-on! Can't fault Hasaranga's thinking, that is a short hit, but he couldn't get enough power through the shot. Taken at chest height a couple of yards in. 96/6 | ||||||||||

9.1 to JJ Roy, back of a length and outside off, he slaps that in the air towards mid-off and that is a screamer! Gunathilaka gets air leaping high to his left and plucks it out of the sky. Quite a grab.. 80/1 | ||||||||||

13.5 to DJ Malan, slow start, no start... Malan's bowled neck and crop! Udana sneaks one back inside an attempted punch down the ground, and Sri Lanka have a second wicket. Seam up and nibbling through the gap. Malan hadn't looked comfortable at any stage. 112/2 | ||||||||||
| Wanindu Hasaranga de Silva | 4 | 0 | 12 | 0 | 3.00 | 14 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
