  1. SL 46-2published at 8 overs

    Kusal Perera is targeting David Willey here. He short-arm jabs for a couple into square leg, before an upper cut brings a couple more.

    Willey has gone for 35 from his four overs.

    Perera is flying at the minute.

  3. SL 42-2published at 7.4 overs

    Back-to-back boundaries for Kusal Perera.

    A square drive beats Liam Livingstone, who should probably do better, before a lovely steer through backward point for four more. He opened the face beautifully there.

    He's on 27 from 13 balls.

    Sri Lanka captain Kusal Perera is going to be key for the tourists today.

    He's looked to be aggressive so far.

    We’ve got our first rendition of the Great Escape from the Barmy Army trumpeter. I think there’ll be a few more of those today.

    A great effort by Sam Curran though.

  7. SL 29-2published at 7 overs

    Just the four leg byes from the latest Chris Woakes over. It was flicked very fine, off the bottom of Dasun Shanaka's pad, and Sam Curran did superbly to try and pull it back in, but he just touched the boundary sponge.

    Ian Botham is in attendance too.

    Over before the football?

    That was Chris Woakes' 150th wicket in ODI cricket.

  10. SL 25-2published at 6 overs

    Dasun Shanaka, who was probably Sri Lanka's best player in the T20 series, is the new batter and he's off the mark straight away with a guide through backward point.

    The trumpet and crowd are starting to warm up.

    It's nothing more than a push at a ball that was moving away from him.

    Out for a duck on debut. That's a good catch by Root in the slips.

    Asalanka c Root b Willey 0 (SL 24-2)

    The debutant has gone for a duck.

    There's a little bit of extra bounce for David Willey, and Charith Asalanka pushes at the ball, and gets a thick outside edge to Joe Root at first slip.

    It's a good catch from Root, who had to dive slightly to his left.

    The Sri Lanka balcony already have their head in their hands.

  14. SL 23-1published at 5 overs

    Debutant Charith Asalanka is the new batter for Sri Lanka. He's a left hander and averages 39.4 in 57 List A games.

    A wicket maiden for Chris Woakes.

    That was his first real attacking shot. Woakes looked a bit sheepish after that - it might've been a horrible drag down, rather than a slower ball.

    A slower ball into the pitch and Nissanka miscued the pull shot straight to Moeen. He's so frustrated walking off - he thought that was four runs.

    Nissanka c Moeen b Woakes 5 (SL 23-1)

    Soft.

    I'm not sure if Chris Woakes meant this or a little bit of luck. It may be a slower ball, but I suspect, by his reaction, that it was a bit of a drag down.

    Pathum Nissanka tries to pull it away, but spoons it off the bottom of the bat straight to Moeen Ali at square leg.

    How are people planning to follow this game, and England v Germany, if this game goes past 5pm?

    Throw in the lovely weather, and a few people wanting a BBQ, it's a tricky calculation.

    Cassini: Great ploy by England, bowl SL out cheaply and chase the runs down by 5pm…

  20. SL 23-0published at 4 overs

    Jimmy's not wrong.

    The left-hander finishes the over with an almighty thwack, but he misses, and the ball goes over middle stump.

    That's probably two of his nine lives gone...
