    Has this pitched in line?

  2. England reviewpublished at 18:04 British Summer Time 27 October 2018

    I think Adil Rashid has got Dhananjaya de Silva out lbw here.

    The umpire doesn't, but Eoin Morgan goes for the review.

    WICKETpublished at 10.1 overs

    Kamindu c Hales b Rashid 24 (SL 77-4)

    That's excellent from Adil Rashid.

    He invites a reverse sweep from Kamindu Mendis and the batsman sends it right into the hands of Alex Hales.

  4. SL 77-3published at 10 overs

    Need 111 from 60 balls

    Tom Curran slides around on the turf to cut off a shovel from Kamindu, but that's an expensive over from Moeen.

  5. SL 76-3published at 9.5 overs

    What happened there?!

    Dhananjaya de Silva hits a ball into the leg side, seemingly straight to Alex Hales - and Hales doesn't move! He loses the ball in the floodlights as he looks up, and promptly ends up looking in the wrong direction.

    And Kamindu Mendis, predictably, reverse sweeps his next ball for four.

    SL 70-3published at 9.1 overs

    Well, that's one way of getting them. Six!

    Kamindu Mendis greets Moeen Ali into the attack with a straight, towering six that lands in the stands.

    Double spin for England, as Moeen Ali replaces Liam Plunkett.

  8. SL 64-3published at 9 overs

    Hands on hips from Adil Rashid as Dhananjaya de Silva hustles a couple through the leg side.

    There's a half-hearted appeal from Rashid as he fires one into Dhananjaya's pads.

  9. SL 59-3published at 8 overs

    Another four for Kamindu Mendis!

    It's not quite timed but this time the ball goes sailing over mid-off and into the boundary rope.

  10. SL 54-3published at 7.3 overs

    Kamindu 5, Dhananjaya 13

    Hello. A bouncer from Liam Plunkett to greet Kamindu Mendis to the crease, and Kamindu somehow manages not to send a top edge through to Jos Buttler.

    Kamundi swipes at a skiddy delivery, but Plunkett strays onto the pads and the batsman gratefully hoists him through the leg side for four.

  11. Postpublished at 17:50 British Summer Time 27 October 2018

    Chris Jordan is out of the attack for the time being. Liam Plunkett will take his place.

  12. SL 50-3published at 7 overs

    Need 138 from 78 balls

    Kamindu Mendis is the new man for Sri Lanka, and he's off the mark to his first ball.

    That's an excellent over from Adil Rashid.

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 6.5 overs

    Chandimal c Hales b Rashid 26 (SL 49-3)

    Ugh.

    Dinesh Chandimal tries a reverse sweep, going down on one knee very early, and the man on the boundary picks up on this. Alex Hales takes a couple of steps forward and gets safely under the ball.

  14. SL 49-2published at 6.3 overs

    Down the ground goes Dhananjaya de Silva, airly driving at Adil Rashid, but the ball bounces just in front of the approaching fielder.

  15. Postpublished at 17:45 British Summer Time 27 October 2018

    Adil Rashid is coming on for a twirl.

  17. SL 47-2published at 6 overs

    Need 141 from 84 balls

    Better from Chris Jordan, tightening his line up, and Sri Lanka work a couple of singles from the final two balls.

  18. SL 45-2published at 5.4 overs

    A horrible slow ball from Chris Jordan, full and straight, and Dhananjaya tickles it away for another four. When that delivery goes wrong, it really goes wrong.

  19. SL 41-2published at 5.3 overs

    Dot. Dot. And four!

    It's not convincing from Dhananjaya de Silva, going after a short ball hat rises on him, but the batsman gets enough of a top edge to whack the ball over third man.

  20. Postpublished at 17:41 British Summer Time 27 October 2018

    Chris Jordan is on for a bowl.
