    Well there have been opportunities for Sri Lanka to get back into this game.

  2. Eng 235-3

    Close again for Sri Lanka.

    Lovely bowling from Milan Rathnayake, swinging the ball away from Ollie Pope.

    The England skipper drives at it again, gets a thick edge but the ball goes straight through the vacant third slip area for four.

    The tourists are creating opportunities in very useful bowling conditions this morning, which is an improvement on yesterday.

  3. Ireland lose a second wicket...

    Lewis c Armitage b Filer 7 (Ireland 21-2)

    Lauren Filer is an X-factor bowler. Little bit of nip back and plenty of extra bounce means that Ireland skipper Gaby Lewis cannot drop her gloves quickly enough. Debutant Hollie Armitage holds onto a smart catch at first slip.

    I'm sorry but what a horrible miss.

    Poor old bowler.

  5. dropped catch

    Brook dropped on 12

    Eng 229-3

    Oh dear.

    Pretty rotten cricket all round as Harry Brook charges Milan Rathnayake and skews the ball horribly, high into the off side.

    Asitha Fernando is waiting out at deep point for a simple catch... but he shells it. A bad, bad drop.

    Sri Lanka have learned from their mistakes.

    They've probably had a deep talk as a bowling unit and they've come out much better.

  7. Eng 227-3

    Close!

    Lovely delivery from Asitha Fernando, shaping away to beat the bat of Ollie Pope on the drive.

    It's a nice start from the Sri Lanka seamer but he drops too short next ball and Pope cuts firmly square of the wicket for a couple.

  8. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport chief cricket writer at The Oval

    Quite an eventful walk to the ground this morning, past the llamas at Vauxhall City Farm, then two fellas getting handcuffed by four police officers. You don't get that at Old Trafford.

  9. wicket

    Ireland lose early wicket

    Raymond-Hoey lbw b Cross 0 (Ireland 1-1)

    CrossPA Media

    Una Raymond-Hoey is caught in two minds. She neither fully committed to pushing forward, nor did she properly stay back. The result? Kate Cross wraps her on the pads and has her first wicket as England skipper. Perfect start.

    Not ideal for Raymond-Hoey, though, who is playing her first ODI since June 2018. Still, the only way is up!

  10. Eng 224-3

    Review drama behind us for the time being, Harry Brook ends the Lahiru Kumara over by going back and pushing through point again.

    Just a single this time and he'll keep strike. Ollie Pope, unbeaten on 103, has to wait to face his first ball of the morning.

  11. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That is weird, it just looked right.

  12. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    I thought I saw the ground move, I thought I saw a mark on the floor but there wasn't a flicker on anything.

  13. Not out

    Eng 223-3

    Very strange indeed.

    A full ball outside off, Harry Brook threw the kitchen sink at it with a drive and Sri Lanka were convinced there was an edge.

    There must have been a noise but the replays show Brook was nowhere near it. Decision overturned and the England batter survives.

  14. England review

    Eng 223-3

    Big booming drive from Harry Brook and Sri Lanka go up as one for caught behind.

    The umpire quickly raises his finger but Brook immediately reviews. An odd one.

  15. Eng 223-3

    Brook 10, Pope 103

    We're under way at The Oval with Lahiru Kumara continuing the over he began yesterday afternoon.

    Harry Brook gets England's first runs of the day with a push through point for two.

  16. Jerusalem is blaring out at The Oval and the Sri Lanka players are waiting on the outfield.

    The England batters are making their way down the stairs and the start of play is just a couple of minutes away.

  17. England women in Ireland

    England women begin their ODI series over in Ireland today. The sun is shining in Belfast and Kate Cross' first act as newly-installed (temporary) England skipper was to shout "tails". The coin came down as a "head" and Ireland skipper Gaby Lewis immediately said "we'll have a bat."

    Cross is not too perturbed - she was undecided as to what England would do had they won the toss.

    It is a fresh looking England side with a quintet of debutants. Mady Villiers, Hollie Armitage, Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Hannah Baker and Paige Schofield all have brand new caps to wear.

    Should be good fun (and very little chance of bad light meddling with the running order).

  18. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Ollie Pope played beautifully yesterday.

    I started to worry that if he had another bad week, people would start to doubt his abilities.

    I don't want that for him, I think he's a great kid and he's great in the dressing room.

  19. 'We're the ones out there' - Duckett defends bad light rules

    The big talking point on day one was bad light. There wasn't a great deal of rain at The Oval and yet fewer than half the scheduled overs were bowled.

    Only 44.1 of a possible 90 overs were bowled after a near three-hour break in the early afternoon was followed by the players leaving the field more than 90 minutes before play could have ended.

    There were more than a few people disgruntled by the situation but England opener Ben Duckett has defended the rules on bad light.

    "If it does get more dark and more dangerous, we're the ones out there playing," said Duckett.

    "It's very easy to sit there as a supporter and want to see more cricket. I think they saw quite a good day's cricket in the short amount of time there was. That is living and playing cricket in England. They're the conditions."

  20. Wood out until 2025 with elbow injury

    There was frustration at a lack of action in London yesterday and more disappointment for England and their supporters as news of an injury to Mark Wood emerged.

    The England fast bowler has been ruled out for the remainder of the year with a stress fracture in his right elbow.

    The 34-year-old was already missing the final two Tests of the series against Sri Lanka because of a thigh problem when what he described as a “routine” check on an old injury uncovered the elbow issue.

    Wood will miss the Test tours of Pakistan in October and New Zealand in December, with an England statement saying he is targeting a return for the Champions Trophy in February.
