Live Reporting

Amy Lofthouse and Timothy Abraham

  1. Jos Buttler finishes unbeaten on 68 off 55 balls. Jonny Bairstow is on 13 not out off 12.

  2. England win by eight wickets

    A bit of a scrappy end to a convincing win for England. Jos Buttler's edges a drive off Dushmantha Chameera which is dropped by Kusal Perera and England scramble a single.

  3. Eng 129-2

    Buttler 67*, Bairstow 13*

    Akila Dananjaya into the attack. Jonny Bairstow reverse sweeps him for four, although it wasn't the cleanest connection. He follows it up with a crisp slog sweep for six. One to win for England.

  4. Eng 117-2

    Another good over for Sri Lanka. Jonny Bairstow is off the mark as he cuts Isuru Udana for a single. The left-armer, bowling round the wicket, stifles the Yorkshireman when he is back on strike and England manage just four off the over. Udana finishes with 1-30 off his allocation.

  5. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    The game is England's, but as a bowler you're thinking 'there are wickets to be had'.

  6. Buttler has been imperious tonight.

  7. Eng 113-2

    Buttler 64*, Bairstow 0*

    Wanindu Hasaranga, gold earring glistening under the nights, is bowling smartly here. He is digging the ball into the pitch and England are struggling to get him away.

    He fires the penultimate ball of the over into Jonny Bairstow who has to dig it out. Hasaranga finishes with, in the context of England's innings, a very impressive 0-12 off four overs. 14 dots in there.

  8. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Sri Lanka put pressure on Malan there - he made seven off 14 balls. But they've got Jonny Bairstow to come...

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Malan b Udana 7 (Eng 112-2)

    Dawid Malan looked a bit off colour during that innings. Struggled to adjust to the pace of pitch perhaps? His off stump is removed by a full delivery from Isuru Udana which just nips in and beats the drive.

    Jonny Bairstow swaggers to the crease.

  10. Eng 112-1

    Dawid Malan shares a joke with the umpires. Things not so jovial elsewhere as Sri Lanka coach Micky Arthur looks miserable (and a bit cold) on the balcony.

    Jos Buttler punches Isuru Udana down the ground for four.

  12. Eng 105-1

    Buttler 57*, Malan 6*

    Wanindu Hasaranga with a clever little over as he mixes up his pace. Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan happy to work him for singles.

  13. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    What a player. He knows his game and it's been clinicial hitting.

  14. Eng 102-1

    England are crusing here. Jos Buttler eases to his fifty with a four through square leg after smashing a six down the ground off Akila Dananjaya.

    Sri Lanka might be behind the game but this is an excellent passage of play.

  17. Eng 87-1

    Wanindu Hasaranga continues and Dawid Malan is taking his time to get himself in the game. The jet-heeled Jos Buttler wants a quick single off the last ball of the over but Malan sends him back.

  18. Eng 81-1

    Dawid Malan is the new man. After taking a look at Dushmantha Chameera he opens the face to guide it through point to get off the mark. Just three runs conceded and a wicket for Chameera in that over. Comfortably the best set for Sri Lanka so far.

  19. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Excellent catch. He got everything perfect - the timing of the feet, the acceleration of his hands. Big wicket for Sri Lanka but England still in the driving seat.

  20. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special

    Wonderful catch! Goalkeeper-style to his left hand.
