Roy 36*, Buttler 38*
A loud yelp of 'caaaaatttccchhh' from Wanindu Hasaranga as Jason Roy attempts to hit down the ground. More in hope than expectation. Roy hasn't timed the shot but it's well short of the fielder.

England need just under five an over to win it from here. Spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, with his bleached hair, is into the attack.

Former England batter on BBC Test Match SpecialEverything seems in good order for these two. They look switched on; they're running well between the wickets; they're taking every opportunity.

A loud thwack off Jason Roy's bat as he gets on top of a short ball from Isuru Udana. It races to the boundary for four. England in cruise control here. 54 off 72 balls needed.

Jason Roy drives one from Isuru Udana straight back at Jos Buttler which hits him near his hand. Thankfully he's okay.

Here's that Jason Roy six over the longest boundary in Cardiff. Impressive stuff.

Ebony Rainford-Brent described England as a well-oiled machine earlier. I'd compare them to a thoroughbread racehourse cantering against Steptoe and Son's yard horse. This is all too easy.

England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialYou've got to feel for the bowler. It's not that bad an over, but he's bowling at two world-class batsmen. It's a tough learning curve.

Roy 28*, Buttler 29*
Jos Buttler is playing this two-paced pitch perfectly. He finishes Isuru Udana's over with back-to-back boundaries showcasing both sides of the same coin. First he times the ball through point for four, then crisply strikes it over the top of mid-off for another. Classy stuff.

England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialButtler and Roy have got a great relationship. You don't hear a lot of calling on the stump mic - it's all eye contact.

Left-arm seamer Isuru Udana into the attack and manages a couple of dots. Something for Sri Lanka to cling to.
