    He's only faced six balls?!?!

    This is now Jeevan Mendis's longest innings of the tournament (two previous knocks).

    Here's how Angelo Mathews fell for 11.

    A shot borne out of frustration?

  4. How's stat?!published at 12:39 British Summer Time 28 June 2019

    Pretorius is looking to take a four-wicket haul in an ODI for the first time in his career.

  5. SL 111-5published at 28 overs

    I get the impression Jeevan Mendis isn't going to hang around here. He attempts a big booming drive off his second ball but he misses.

    A wicket maiden for Dwaine Pretorius - a second consecutive maiden for the Proteas' bowler.

    Sri Lanka got themselves into a bit of a hole and looked to defend. That is the danger if you lose wickets you have gone nowhere as a team.

    Jeevan Mendis is the new batsman.

    He lets his first ball go through to Quinton de Kock.

    That is a team wicket. Morris started building the pressure before Pretorius took over from him. Tahir had built pressure from the other end.

    WICKETpublished at 27.1 overs

    Kusal Mendis c Morris b Pretorius 23 (SL 111-5)

    Gone! Sri Lanka are faltering.

    The frustration was building for Sri Lanka and Kusal Mendis uses his feet to move to leg in an attempt to generate some room but he slaps an attempted cut shot straight to Chris Morris in the covers.

    Dwaine Pretorius has three. Sri Lanka have slipped from 67-1 to 111-5.

  10. SL 110-4published at 27 overs

    Sri Lanka are dealing in singles at the moment with the odd two thrown in.

    Five runs come off Imran Tahir's fourth over.

    I think Sam - 12.13 - sums things up well. England haven't suddenly become a poor team overnight. They have struggled to adapt to the pitches as Jimmy says and undoubtedly missed the power of Jason Roy. Fingers crossed that playing India - one of the strongest, best balanced sides - will bring out their best.

    And he starts this spell with a maiden.

    It's a tight top of off stump line and Dhananjaya de Silva finds the fielders with a couple of drives and just has to block out the other deliveries.

    Dwaine Pretorius who has has figures of 2-21 from this opening six overs is going to replace Chris Morris.

    Right, that's me done for a bit.

    Callum Matthews will take you through the business end of things.

  16. SL 106-4published at 25 overs

    Oh!

    Tossed up from Imran Tahir and the ball almost sneaks through Kusal Mendis' open defences.

    Every time I look at that picture, I find something new and impressive about it.

    Tidy, almost miserly, from Chris Morris, and Sri Lanka can only work two runs from it.
