    Mark: Bairstow getting bowled trying to slog. Surprised?

    If you're after even more of a cricket fix, there are five T20 Blast games going on this evening.

    Middlesex have just started their first innings against Sussex in the earliest game to start. You can listen to live commentaries of all these games here.

    Here's a clip of a few boundaries from Jonny Bairstow before he chopped on to his own stumps.

    I can hear chants from the Sri Lanka fans for the first time today.

    Jason Roy, who is closing in on his half century, is joined by England Test captain Joe Root who milks Dushmantha Chameera for four runs off the over. Good running.

    It was a strange start to the over. Jonny Bairstow hasn't picked Hasaranga's length very well and that was too close for him to cut.

    Bairstow b Hasaranga 29 (Eng 76-1)

    Credit to Wanindu Hasaranga who held his nerve there. Jonny Bairstow attempts two big heaves, failing to make contact and then getting a boundary off the inside edge. Fourth ball of the over and Bairstow tries to cut a quicker leg-break and it crashes down into his stumps.

    The short ball has been used well today. We saw Sam Curran and David Willey execute it, when you wouldn't really consider them to be bouncer bowlers - and Chameera has been the same.

    They're making this pitch look the M25 at the moment.

    Jason Roy has hit eight fours so far. Here's one with those strong wrists of his off Dushmantha Chameera.

    Target 242

    Dushmantha Chameera with some decent pace, has Jonny Bairstow dodging and weaving. Bairstow cuts his third ball of the over down to third man for a single.

    I don't think Kusal Perera would've wanted to bring spin on so early, but he needs his best bowlers to get him wickets and that's what Hasaranga does.

    The bleached blonde Wanindu Hasaranga with a mixed bag of all sorts. His second ball is a googly which Jason Roy fends off, and then he sends down a full toss which the England opener attempts to reverse pull but finds the fielder. Jonny Bairstow keeps the strike with a single through point.

    It wasn't a spectacular powerplay from England but it's what they needed, they're ahead of the game with a great platform.

    End of the powerplay and England are sitting comfortably on 65-0. Kusal Perera ready to turn to spin.

  16. Eng 64-0published at 9.1 overs

    Sri Lanka captain Kusal Perera shuffles his pack again. Dushmantha Chameera is brought back into the attack in an attempt to find a breakthrough. It almost pays off as Roy mistimes a check drive to a cutter and offers the glimmer of a caught-and-bowled chance but Chameera is unable to get a hand on it.

    That was right in Bairstow's arc and he's timed it perfectly. He probably wasn't even trying to hit that for six, it's just natural timing.

    A slower ball from Asitha Fernando and Jonny Bairstow is on to it as quick as a flash, pulling it through mid-wicket with ease for four. The next ball is something else, though. Bairstow launches Fernando back over his head for six with a powerful drive. No Roy-esque pose holding, though.

    A crunching shot like that is the sort of shot that can really get Jonny Bairstow going.

    Jonny Bairstow takes the pressure off himself with classic drive through the covers off Asitha Fernando. He knows he's pierced the field and stands to admire the shot.
