    Stuart Dawson: For once can we blast a team out early and save my heart and blood pressure any undue grief.

    Arthur Goddard: Chris Jordan is so bad, it's unbelievable. Any danger of bowling a half decent line pal?

  3. SL 31-4published at 5.2 overs

    Rashid dived forward for the catch but it bounced over him at backward square-leg and they have run three, fielded by Buttler of all people, diving to save the boundary. What a match he is having.

  5. SL 28-4 (144 needed from 90 balls)published at 5 overs

    Successive boundaries for Mathews, the first one fortuitous off the inside edge past the stumps, the second a neat flick off the pads. Jordan aggrieved. There is also another wide. England supporters aggrieved. But surely the feeling is still one of general delight? 

  6. SL 17-4published at 4 overs

    Plunkett into the attack, it is not a particularly potent over but sufficiently accurate and all the stunned Sri Lankans can muster is a single.

    Harry John White: At this rate Sri Lanka's innings will be shorter than their national anthem.

    Mike Lee: This is way more pleasant to watch than the usual torture (he says way too soon!).

    James Wettern: The four wheels have come off the Sri Lanka run chase.

    Emma Gregory: Hoo Hoo hooo! England making light work for Sri Lanka so far like. Wickets tumbling like they are going out of fashion.

    "Stokes' contribution so far has been fleeting but rather effective."

    "That was a brilliant piece of fielding - it was a horrible piece of running. They can't lose this, can they? Don't take anything for granted but you could not hope for a better start."

    WICKETpublished at 3 overs

    Thirimanne run out 3 (SL 15-4)

    Kamikaze cricket from the Sri Lankans. Never a run there, Thirimanne is sent back by his captain and Stokes dives in from close range to hit the timbers at the bowler's end.

  11. Third umpirepublished at 3 overs

    Now we could have a run out.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 2.5 overs

    Siriwardana c Morgan b Willey 7 (SL 15-3)

    He had just hit a six into the cameramen beyond the long-on boundary but the left-hander is gone, safely caught at extra cover.

    Richard Parfitt: I always said that Chris Jordan was good...

    Greg Double: Dilshan gone, Jordan taking a wicket - fire up them bacon butties!

    Adam Wheeler: Oh ok......now I know why Jordan has taken the new ball. 

    Tashan Atukorla: Sri Lanka selectors, why is Chandimal in this team?! He has been shocking for as long as I can remember!

  14. SL 8-2published at 2.1 overs

    Nearly a third wicket but Siriwardana's flick bounces on the half volley to Adil Rashid at backward square-leg.

  15. SL 8-2 (target 172)published at 2 overs

    Left-hander Lahiru Thirimanne is the new batsman, no Jayawardene or Sangakkara anymore of course, although Mathews is in next. Another wide from Jordan but as long as there are not too many more he will be forgiven for those because of that wicket.

    "It's a perfect start. He goes a long way over to the offside and gets a fairly big edge. Jordan's confidence will soar and what a great start for England - two wickets already."

  17. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 1.2 overs

    Chandimal c Buttler b Jordan 1 (SL 4-2)

    But Jordan has got the radar perfectly in sync this time. Chandimal follows it and Buttler takes a neat catch to his right, the man of the match award will be in his hands too later surely? Both openers gone.

  18. SL 4-1published at 1 over

    Chris Jordan from the other end and he starts with a wide way down the leg-side.

    "It went over the top of middle and off - too much bounce but encouragement for Willey."

  20. SL 3-1 (target 172)published at 1 over

    Willey is wobbling it around in the evening air and new man Siriwardana cannot get near it.
