    Theo: The way Sri Lanka are batting the crowd are not going to get full value here. They are the second poorest side in this WC. In fact that’s harsh on Afghanistan who at least show fight and character.

    K Perera c Moeen b Woakes 2 (SL 3-2)

    This might be a quick game!

    Sri Lanka lose their second opener; this time Kusal Perera slashing one straight down the throat of 100-cap veteran Moeen Ali at third man.

    It was wide from Chris Woakes and Kusal went hard at it but miscued it off a thick outside edge.

    Karunaratne c Buttler b Archer 1 (SL 3-1)

    Got him!

    A delicious delivery from Jofra Archer, back of a length, seaming away from the left-hander and a little nick to a jubilant keeper.

    Off trudges Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne. He needed to anchor the innings but instead that might expose Sri Lanka's brittle middle order.

    One down, nine to go.

  5. SL 2-0published at 1 over

    Kusal Perera clips a single off his first ball and Dimuth Karunaratne leaves the last outside off stump.

  6. SL 1-0published at 0.4 overs

    Dimuth Karunaratne taps off his pads to gap in mid-wicket to get himself and Sri Lanka off the mark.

    Chris Woakes is straight on it - back of a length, nipping it back into Karunaratne and the ball thuds into the keeper's gloves.

    England have taken up their fielding positions.

    Sri Lanka openers Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Perera are making their way out to the middle.

    On the subject of openers, England's Jason Roy has told BBC Radio 5 Live that he should be fit to face Australia after tearing his hamstring against West Indies.

    Good news.

    I kid you not, there are golf carts buzzing around the streets of Headingley, whisking fans here and there. Not only that, but I've also seen a lady trying to rescue a hedgehog with a stick. She had a small crowd watching.

    The Leeds equivalent of when the crowd gathered to shoo away a cobra in Sri Lanka over the winter.

    Russell Moore: I'm pleased we lost the toss and are chasing today, it's a good test to do so before playing the 'big boys'. We know our strength setting a total but we want to have confidence in chasing one down too.

    Sri Lanka do have talent in that team which can cause an upset. They are street fighters. If there's one team which can leave everything else off the pitch and just put a performance together, it's Sri Lanka.

  16. Sri Lanka's unwanted recordpublished at 10:19 British Summer Time 21 June 2019

    In case you haven't read it yet, Andy Zaltzman has dished out some mid-tournament awards. Have a read of his latest column here.

    Speaking about Sri Lanka's brittle middle order, Zaltzman said: "As Oscar Wilde famously wrote, "to lose your numbers four to seven batsmen for a total of five runs or fewer in an ODI innings once may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose them for five or fewer in successive matches looks like your entire cricketing nation is subsiding into a pit of nothingness".

    "In the 4,000-match history of ODI cricket, there had only been five such middle-order subsidences.

    "Sri Lanka pulled off this rare, almost incomprehensibly unimpressive feat twice in four days.

    "Of all the records set in this tournament, this may be the toughest one to beat."

    Only right that Paul Farbrace is part of the TMS team for England v Sri Lanka. After all, it is the Farby Derby...

    England captain Eoin Morgan: "We'd have batted first too - the wicket looks good. Let's hope it doesn't change. In previous games, it has offered turn so hopefully that suits Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid.

    "Only if we reach the semi-finals will we think about what we need to do regards resting players etc, if we do at all.

    "It's a big day for Moeen, who has been a big part of this England team for a long time now. It's his 100th cap and he's a big Liverpool fan, so Steven Gerrard sent him a video message. He's buzzing about that."
