    Rob Coles: If England win without losing a wicket, is it the biggest ever total for a 10 wicket win in ODIs?

    Yep Rob, it sure is.

    England win by 10 wickets. Yes, 10 wickets. Hales and Roy have just treated a 254-run chase as if it were a knock-around on the beach. Wow.

  3. England 256-0published at 34.1 overs

    Game over. Jason Roy finishes the game in style by skipping down to hammer four through extra cover off Prasanna. Awesome. Just awesome.

    "A bit of pad rash for Joe Root? I don't think any batter would mind sitting there with your pads on and watching this display."

    "You know as an opposition side that if you don't get these two guys early you're in trouble."

  6. Eng 252-0 (Three runs to win)published at 34 overs

    Alex Hales now has the highest score by an Englishman in an ODI against Sri Lanka and these two have the biggest partnership ever in ODIs for an England pair. What a display this has been.

    "Well played - great innings. Roy joins his mate - gives him a cuddle. You can see what that means to them. They've absolutely annihilated Sri Lanka."

    "What I like is these two could have chipped away and got them in ones and twos, but they've wanted to entertain. That's what's got the crowd on its feet."

    That is how you bring up 100! Jason Roy survives a reviewed lbw shout but then clubs the next Prasanna delivery straight down the ground for six. Lap up the applause Jase, you've earned it.

    Perry: When did the England team become half decent at this one day stuff?

  12. Eng 235-0published at 32 overs

    Jason Roy nearly chucks away the chance of a ton with a misjudged lofted drive that just clears the man at cover. Speaking of hundreds, here is how Alex Hales reached his...

  15. dropped catch

    Hales dropped on 126published at 31 overs

    Eng 228-0

    It would appear Joe Root is a Tom Jones fan. He is sat in the changing room singing along to Delilah. Or maybe he is just taking his mind off the pad rash. And I'm sure those bananas are multiplying. There's at least twice as many running round the stand now, along with Yogi the Bear and some medieval knights. Ah, the cricket. Oh yeah, the cricket... well, Sri Lanka are having a shocker. Hales lobs up a dolly of a catch to Gunathilaka at point but somehow he manages to spill it. My two-year-old niece would have caught that.

  16. How's stat?!published at 20:03 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    This is England's highest opening stand in ODIs, beating Marcus Trescothick and Vikram Solanki's 200 against South Africa at The Oval in 2003.

  19. Eng 219-0published at 30 overs

    This is just relentless now for England. Roy joins the six party with a straight hit down the ground off Randiv. The crowd are loving it. Every hit is cheered to the rafters, every dot ball booed. It's pantomime cricket.
