  1. Eng 3-0published at 1.0 overs

    Not out. As suspected it's hit Jason Roy way too high and outside the line and that's a review wasted by Sri Lanka. Roy gets himself off the mark.

    This could be outside the line, but it's definitely pad first.

    Thanks Callum. Sri Lanka straight into the action, third ball with an lbw review from Dushmantha Chameera which has hit Jason Roy high up. No bat involved.

    That's me done.

    Timothy Abraham will take you through the first part of the England chase.

    If we get anything close to the start we had at Durham, this will be exhilarating.

    England's chase of 242 will start soon, with the returning Jason Roy opening alongside Jonny Bairstow.

    Bairstow started like an absolute train on Tuesday. I wonder if he'll try and do the same today.

    There were some useful lower-order runs from Sri Lanka...

    Only England can make this chase difficult. I honestly believe England are better at chasing scores of 300+ then they are anything below 250.

    Places don't open up often in this ODI side so both new-ball bowlers have been brave, pitched it up and done their chances for the future no harm with the wickets they have got today.

    Here are David Willey's four wickets.

    He's pressed his case in this series too, after being left out of the 2019 World Cup squad at the last minute.

    Here are Sam Curran's five wickets.

    He's becoming a staple of this ODI side.

    Dhananjaya de Silva made a crucial role in that Sri Lanka recovery.

    They were 21-4, but his 92 has at least given his bowlers something to bowl at.

    Here are the best shots from his innings.

    Sri Lanka have fought when they have been up against it. They just need to a little bit smarter and using their skill at the right times. De Silva got to a good position then started playing big shots - if he could have held on for a few more overs, made his century, then opened it up then Sri Lanka would be in a better position.

    As usual we'll spend the interval running the best clips from the first innings, and bringing you some reaction, but if you want something slightly different to do, how about this?

    England women completed an ODI series win over India yesterday, in a tight and enthralling game at Taunton.

    You can watch highlights of that game on BBC iPlayer. They are well worth a watch.

    Eoin Morgan will be pleased, England have shown their class in the field and with the ball in hand. You have to give Sri Lanka after 21-4 for pulling it back to make 241. If Sri Lanka get a good start then a few early wickets could put the England batters under pressure.

    David Willey finishes with figures of 4-64 from his 10 overs.

    Sam Curran raises the ball to The Oval faithful as he walks off.

    England will need 242 to win, and complete a series victory.

    Oh! Sam Billings was interested in the catch at long on, but Dushmantha Chameera just clears him.
