    Aponso b Jordan 0 (SL 119-8)

    And Amila Aponso lasts all of two balls, before having his stumps rearranged by a Chris Jordan yorker.

    That'll be two wickets in three balls for Jordan.

  4. Postpublished at 18:34 British Summer Time 27 October 2018

    Amila Aponso will join his captain at the crease.

    Udana c Stokes b Jordan 2 (SL 119-7)

    Whoops.

    Isuru Udana decides to lob a simple catch straight in the vicinity of Ben Stokes at mid-off. Stokes barely has to move to grab the ball, and Udana ends up taking a rather sheepish walk off the field.

  6. SL 119-6published at 15.4 overs

    A wide yorker is driven down the ground for one.

  7. 6 runs

    SL 118-6published at 15.2 overs

    Need 70 runs from 28 balls

    Chris Jordan mixes up his lines and lengths... and Thisara Perera carts him over mid-wicket for six!

    That was a slower ball from Jordan but it was right in the slot for the Sri Lanka skipper.

  8. SL 111-6published at 15 overs

    Isuru Udana drives a single from his first delivery.

  9. Postpublished at 18:26 British Summer Time 27 October 2018

    Out walks Isuru Udana.

    Sri Lanka need 78 runs from 31 balls.

    Shanaka b Plunkett 10 (SL 110-6)

    Gone!

    A slower ball from Liam Plunkett, and Dasun Shanaka makes an awful mess of it. He's through his shot far too early and can only stand helplessly as his stumps get rearranged.

  11. 6 runs

    SL 109-5published at 14.3 overs

    And again!

    That's a terrific shot from Thisara, standing tall and swiping a Plunkett off-cutter back down the ground and into a cluster of security guards.

  12. 6 runs

    SL 103-5published at 14.2 overs

    Thisara 12, Shanaka 10

    Liam Plunkett sends down a short ball to Thisara Perera - and the Sri Lanka captain takes it on!

    He's quick on the ball, swinging hard and sending the ball over the ropes to take Sri Lanka to three figures.

  13. SL 96-5published at 14 overs

    Need 92 runs from 36 balls

    A big lbw appeal from Chris Jordan as he whacks Thisara Perera on the pads, but that's pitched a mile outside leg stump. And it's missing the stumps. So, er, a bad shout, all in all.

    Tidy stuff from Jordan, though, with just four runs off the over.

  14. Postpublished at 18:15 British Summer Time 27 October 2018

    So Adil Rashid finishes with his stint with a terrific 3-11, which are his best figures in a T20 international. There's 14 dot balls in there, too.

    His work for the day is done. Chris Jordan is coming back into the attack.

    Five wickets for leg spinners - particularly impressive considering how tough it is to grip the ball this evening. Almost every England player has a white towel hanging out of their pockets, endlessly drying the ball in these humid conditions.

  16. SL 92-5published at 13 overs

    A big, loopy delivery from Adil Rashid, and Dasun Shanaka swings so hard at it that he almost ends up off his feet.

    Jos Buttler shouts a few words of encouragement as Rashid concedes just two runs from his latest over.

  17. 6 runs

    SL 90-5published at 12 overs

    Need 98 runs from 48 balls

    A series of singles from Dasun Shanaka and Thisara Perera as they face up to Moeen Ali.

    Oh, that's going into the crowd! Shanaka takes aim and gets down on one knee to swipe a big ol' six from Moeen's final delivery.

  18. SL 79-5published at 11 overs

    Dasun Shanaka has come out to join captain Thisara Perera at the crease, but neither batsman can get Adil Rashid away.

    The leggie has excellent figures of 3-0-10-3.

    Dhananjaya lbw b Rashid 17 (SL 77-5)

    Out!

    That delivery from Adil Rashid did indeed pitch in line and Dhananjaya played all around the ball, trying to work it through the leg side. Eoin Morgan looks chuffed to bits as he sees the ball tracking on the big screen.
