  3. SL 138-8published at 19 overs

    Maharoof stabs a shot down to long-on for two and then tickles a single round the corner. They'll take whatever they can get now.

  4. SL 135-8published at 18.3 overs

    Plunkett to bowl out. Sri Lanka are limping to the end of their innings here. Two singles off his first three balls.

  5. SL 133-8published at 18 overs

    From replays it looks like Morgan has dislocated his finger taking the catch. Just pop that back in. Chaminda Bandara is the new man at the crease. Sri Lanka will be hoping they can somehow burgle their way to 150 now.

    "It looked like a wobble balls there from Jordan. When batsmen have tried to play the big shots they haven't quite middled it."

    Chandimal c Morgan b Jordan 23 (SL 129-8)

    Jordan returns and strikes second ball. It is a big wicket as well. Chandimal mistimes a drive and is caught at cover by Eoin Morgan. The skipper looks to have injured his hand taking the catch and leaves the pitch straightaway for treatment.

    "It's excellent for England to have a T20 bowler who can bowl 90mph and that slower ball. He set his field and bowled to it. He's an exciting prospect."

  10. SL 128-7published at 17 overs

    Maharoof's mission is to stay here and allow Chandimal to do the damage. He fends off two balls from Mills before keeping the striker with a dabbed single. Mills ends with 4-0-22-0. Good debut figures.

    Mills continues and is cut away for four by Chandimal, who moves to 22.

  13. SL 122-7published at 16 overs

    Started badly for Plunkett but ended well. Farveez Maharoof has joined Chandimal at the crease.

    "That was a proper delivery, a little bit of shape away. Prasanna had no foot movement. You feel for Chandimal now, it's all down to him."

    Prasanna c Buttler b Plunkett 1 (SL 122-7)

    Plunkett gets his revenge - not on Chandimal but Prasanna. Just short of a length, good pace, nips away a bit and catches the edge from a very tentative prod from the batsman. All on Chandimal now.

    "Chandimal skipped down the wicket to change the length for the six. The four was poor from Plunkett, the wrong line."

  17. SL 121-6published at 15.3 overs

    With the players they have at their disposal, you wonder if Sri Lanka can manage a decent total here. This is a good start. Chandimal clubs Plunkett down the ground for six and then flicks a four off his legs next ball.

    "This is excellent bowling from England. Mills bowls his slower ball out of the back of the hand about 20 or 25mph slower."

    Now, Seekkuge Prasanna can club it. He gets off the mark with a cut to a short Mills ball. Chandimal is then nearly run out with a chopped attempted cut that Buttler collects but misses with his throw to the bowler's end. Sri Lanka really haven't got the hang of this running lark.
