    You can't be too critical of Livingstone - the attacking intent is how England would've wanted him to play.

    WICKET

    Livingstone c Chameera b Karunaratne 9 (Eng 54-1)

    Liam Livingstone just couldn't get settled today.

    He tries to pull through mid-wicket, but it comes off the splice on the bat and loops up to mid-on for a simple catch.

    Liam Livingstone joins the party!

    Eng 54-0

    Target 186

    Liam Livingstone just says "thank you, very much".

    He's up and running with a six over mid-wicket.

  5. Eng 47-0

    Target 186

    Jonny Bairstow repeats the shot, but Sri Lanka have got one of their two boundary riders on the cover fence boundary now so it is just a single.

    It is a no-ball though...

  6. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Dismissive from Bairstow - short and wide and he's absolutely crunched it.

  7. Eng 46-0

    Short and wide and Jonny Bairstow crunches it to the fence.

    Don't bowl there, Dushmantha Chameera.

  8. Sri Lanka have disposed of the slip, and put him in a catching position in the covers instead.

  9. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It was another almost faultless fielding performance by England. The run out to finish it off by Sam Billings was absolutely fantastic.

  10. Eng 41-0

    Target 186

    Liam Livingstone just needs to support Jonny Bairstow here, rotate the strike and let his colleague keep on going.

    He nicked off earlier in the over, but the ball bounced short of the slip. He then tries an extravagant pull. Keep it simple.

    That is huge from Bairstow. That's almost out of the ground!

  12. 6 runs

    Eng 40-0

    Target 186

    Massive from Jonny Bairstow. He's pulled Binura Fernando into the hotel balcony.

    There's dismissive and then there's this from Jonny Bairstow. He's not even watching the ball go to the boundary. Just whacking it and wandering down to see Liam Livingstone for a chat.

  14. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I've played against Jonny Bairstow when he's in one of these moods and you can't bowl at him - he's got an answer for anything.

  15. Eng 31-0

    Target 186

    Bairstow has played three ODIs in total at the Riverside before today. In addition to that 83* he's made 79 against Australia and 106 against New Zealand.

    You can tell he just trusts the surface as he picks up three, two and then drives for four more.

    He's up to 29 off just 12 balls.

  16. Eng 22-0

    Jonny Bairstow looks in good touch here.

    He picks up his fourth boundary with a glorious on drive.

    He likes this ground, he made 83* here against New Zealand in 2015. That was the start of him really forcing his way into the side.

  17. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special

    England are already demonstrating that this is a very good batting surface.

  18. Eng 18-0

    Target 186

    Shot again! Floaty from Binura Fernando and Jonny Bairstow effortlessly drives to the boundary.

    An excellent quick single sees him keep the strike.

  19. The left-arm pace of Binura Fernando will take the second new ball.

    He bowled Jonny Bairstow in the second T20 - watch it below.

  20. Matthew Henry

    Uncapped Sussex left-arm quick George Garton is bowling in the middle during the interval. I hope he gets a go at some point in this series. He looks lively.
