    I think that is worth a review. If they get this, it's huge.

    And Sri Lanka think Joe Root has tickled one down the leg side...

    Target 233

    Absolutely staggered to see that Lasith Malinga is only a few months older than me. He seems to have been bowling for an age...

    Target 233

    One hundred and seven to get from 120 balls.

  7. Eng 125-3published at 29.3 overs

    We've had nearly 4.5m page views today which is proof that there's life in the old ODI dog yet. Only 35% of those were to argue that a barm is in fact a cob.

    These two batsmen look stately out there at the moment. A single a ball in this over so far.

  8. Eng 122-3published at 29 overs

    Stokes flicks away another straight ball for a single. England need 5.29 an over so nothing to get too scared about.

  9. Eng 120-3published at 28.3 overs

    Stokes 28, Root 54

    Ben Stokes has decided he's off now, good movement in his crease again to flick it away.

    A big over for England.

    That ball was asking for trouble and got it.

    Those longest of long hops are not always easy to hit.

    Stokes 27, Root 52

    And again! A head scrambler of a ball that one, almost bounced twice, Ben Stokes adjusts his stance and gives it the full sink. Miles over the ropes for a second six of the over.

    That only flew about 10 feet high all the way. A lovey shot. I always like a skimmer for six.

    Shot sir! Ben Stokes decides it's time to make a move, dancing three strides down the pitch to club Jeevan Mendis brutally over his head, all the way for a flat six.

    The sort of shot I'd love to be able to hit, just once. Sounded like cannon fire.

    Julia: Please, all the gods of cricket, keep Joe fit and in such brilliant form for the Ashes. Thanks.

    Ben Stokes timed that one!

  18. Eng 103-3published at 27 overs

    Stokes 14, Root 51

    Ben Stokes ducks a bouncer and gets a wide before he clips powerfully into midwicket for four. Beautifully timed to bring up the 100 for England

    Late afternoon sun bakes the players out in the middle. Is this summer at last?!

    At 78 balls, that is Joe Root's second slowest ODI 50. The slowest took him 79 balls against Australia in 2014.

    Target 233

    Nuwan Pradeep has Joe Root hopping around in his crease, rattling one into his thighs. Not easy out there. They're not making it look easy, anyway.

    Will England win from here? Give us a thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no...
