"They can have one more fielder out now so that will help Sri Lanka. The leg-spinner's been excellent. He came out with the bat, and surprised me. He went pretty much in one gear. He swung early and it paid off."

Buttler whips a Pradeep full toss into the leg side and instantly wants two. He gets home, but if the throw from the deep had hit he would have been in myther. Ten overs to go, England need 79. Batting side favourites, right?

Woakes takes a couple of painkillers. By the time they take effect, the game will be over. While we wait, here's a Jos Buttler scoop for four.

Andy Hawkes: I fancy England to win this now. Buttler and Woakes followed by Willey who can smash a few quick runs if needed.

If you can't get them out, hurt them. Woakes campers a single, getting pinned on the arm as the throw comes in from mid-on. Lip readers will spot the utterance of a naughty word. It's even called for a visit from the physio

Alan Upton

If Dinesh Chandimal was Richard III, he would give his kingdom for a wicket. It's getting to the stage where Sri Lanka have to bowl England out to win this. If the hosts last 50 overs, they take the cake. No sign of anything different from the Lankans. Field still spread as much as the rules permit, England administering death by a thousand cuts. Trent Bridge believes.

"He's played really well - calm, assured, occasionally opening his shoulders. Essentially, he's kept Buttler company because England were out of it."

What a time Chris Woakes is having. A brilliant return to the Test side and now a maiden ODI half-century when England needed it most. Trent Bridge rises for what could be a match-winning second fiddle.

"Whatever happens, Buttler needs a three-figure score and a few more. England will also learn that you don't need to go too hard too soon. You've still got to look to be positive.

"We've seen in the last hour or so Sri Lanka don't have a lot of express pace or mystery. You don't think that the batsmen have broken sweat, and before you know it they've put on a hundred."

Jos Buttler is getting tricks out now, twice looking to scoop the 84mph Pradeep, once getting it right. Four to fine leg. I can't imagine the grapefruits you need to play that shot.

Jimmy 'JDawg' Dawson: Don't forget about @chriswoakes, external here, a superb supporting role and arguably the shot of the day, a lovely inside out over cover.

Sri Lanka fielding just getting ragged. The odd fumble, a dive over one, shoulders slumping as the England juggernaut gains pace. How big a miss in skipper Mathews, sitting in the dressing room with a bust fetlock? Woakes, he of the cover drive below, nears a maiden half-century.

"As soon as the runs required come into double figures, mentally it becomes different for the fielding side. It would be interesting to see if Jos Buttler takes advantage of these fielders coming up."

You just feel like England are getting the boulder moving now. Hard to shift at first, when it gets going it's even harder to stop. Nuwan Pradeep returns in the hunt for wickets, but a leggy delivery is clipped fine for four by Woakes. The stadium DJ celebrates with a blast of One Direction. Obviously. Hundred partnership, Woakes' highest ODI score.

"England's scoring rate is perfectly OK. It's just they've lost so many wickets. It's a good pitch still."

Fresh off the drinks break, Buttler still running at Prasanna like a bull in Pamplona, the leggie responding by pushing it flatter and wider. Equilibrium remains as dusk falls at TB. Who blinks first? Ooohh, that was close, a Woakes clip flies past the last-footed mid-wicket fielder.

"It's definitely on. This partnership is worth 88 now. England have staged a major recovery here. It's just a question of whether they can see it home."

A sub runs from the Sri Lanka dressing room, straight to Chandimal. Was the message to introduce the off-spin of Danushka Gunathilaka? Either way, he's on. No great intensity in the field, England still accumulating like Pac-Man eating Pac-Dots. When the ball is floated wide, Woakes goes inside-out through the off side for four. And the Oscar for best supporting actor goes to...
