    I'm just glad to see Chris Woakes play. It's bizarre that we've barely seen one of last year's best players bowl a ball all summer.

  2. SL 29-1published at 5 overs

    Chris Woakes has bowled beautifully in this series.

    After a wayward first over, he's really honed in on an accurate line and length in the last couple of overs.

    His reward is a maiden.

    Should England have rotated more today?

    Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no.

    Robin Johnson: Sometimes I really don’t know what to say to England’s bizarre selections. Why bother to pick Garton if he doesn’t even get a game in a meaningless game against inferior opposition? Surely if ever there was a game to try a new player out, this is it.

    Avishka barely hit that one, he just timed it beautifully. That suggests it's quite a good pitch.

  6. SL 29-1published at 4 overs

    I tell you what, this pitch is an absolute cracker.

    Avishka Fernando picks up another boundary with a lovely drive for four.

    Sri Lanka are going to need a big score.

    It seems there are only four or five of the Barmy Army here and as a result it’s one of the quieter renditions of Jerusalem I’ve heard. Still, they get applause from Joe Root for their efforts.

    Shot!

    Nissanka gets off the mark with a back-foot punch through square for four.

    Pathum Nissanka, who opened in the first two ODIs - making scores of five and five, is in at three.

    Perera is the dangerman for Sri Lanka, he's scored a fair few runs in this series but it was an ugly shot. There was no foot movement at all.

    Perera b Woakes 9 (SL 19-1)

    Chopped on!

    Kusal Perera had just been beaten by an absolute beauty, that zipped through, and surprised Jonny Bairstow, so when he sees a bit of width his eyes light up. He attempts a big booming drive, and gets a thick inside edge into the base of the stumps.

    Chris Woakes takes another powerplay wicket.

    Yesterday saw England women play India in the third and final ODI.

    They'd already won the series, but yesterday served up a final-over cracker.

  13. SL 19-0published at 2 overs

    David Willey's radar gradually improved as the over progressed, but this represents a good start for the tourists.

    I can't see any spots of rain on the camera lense yet, so a delay isn't imminent.

  14. SL 14-0published at 1.1 overs

    David Willey is struggling for his radar at the moment.

    He strays down the leg side, allowing Kusal Perera to turn it round the corner for four, before two consecutive leg side wides.

    Good first over for Sri Lanka.

    They've struggled in the powerplays during this tour, so will be hoping for a better day today.

    It’s a bit muggy. Clouds are looming. If I was asked to describe ‘Chris Woakes conditions’ I’d go with something like this.

  19. SL 4-0published at 0.2 overs

    What a lovely way to get off the mark.

    It's a bit floaty and wide from Chris Woakes, and Avishka Fernando drives it beautifully to the fence.

    The start is crucial for Sri Lanka. As soon as you lose early wickets like they have done, it's very hard to come back from, you're never going to get enough to matter how well you rebuild.
