  1. England all-rounder Chris Woakes, playing his first T20 for England since 2015, on Sky Sports: "Loved it, loved it. It's great to be back out there and the boys have put in a good performance there - I'm really pleased with how we've gone."

    On 50-over and 20-over cricket: "In terms of new-ball and death bowling, it's pretty much the same. The IPL is a high-class tournament; you're coming up against some serious players and you're testing your skills."

  2. Regular wickets did the job for England after they were asked to bowl first, with Sri Lanka unable to find any rhythm.

  3. A bit of fun from Dasun Shanaka there on what is a slow pitch, but you'd say it's advantage England at the halfway stage.

    That was a rather resigned bat raise from Dasun Shanaka for his fifty before he holes out. Fist pumps at the end for England's players who produced a disciplined performance.

    WICKET

    Shanaka c Butter b Curran 50 (SL 129-7)

    Shanaka holes out off the final ball of the over!

    England will need 130 to win.

  6. 50 runs

    50 for Shanaka

    SL 129-6

    Full toss, spanked towards the boundary, and they run two to bring up a half-century for Dasun Shanaka!

    A fine innings in the scheme of things. He's the only batsman to have found any rhythm.

  7. SL 127-6

    Another heave into the air from Shanaka, not timed, but he's missing all the fielders, and he's within two runs of a half-century...

  8. 6 runs

    SL 125-6

    Now that is a shot!

    Dasun Shanaka reads this back of a length delivery from Sam Curran and smacks it over mid-wicket for a big 'un.

  9. SL 119-6

    Swing, top edge, but enough on the ball to clear the fielder running towards fine leg.

  10. SL 117-6

    Dot to start, as Dasun Shanaka misreads a slower ball.

  11. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It's good experience for Sam Curran to bowl at the death. As a player you want that pressure to see if you can deal with it.

  12. It is indeed Sam Curran to bowl the final over.

  13. SL 117-6

    Slower ball from Chris Jordan and again Shanaka, playing a brilliant lone hand, heaves, but can only muscle a single.

  14. 6 runs

    SL 116-6

    Hello!

    Wallop! Dasun Shanaka has a huge swing of the bat and holds the pose for the photographers as the ball goes sailing down the ground and into the stands.

  15. SL 110-6

    A FOUR!

    A much-needed boundary for Sri Lanka, as Dasun Shanaka clips Chris Jordan nicely off his pads and beats the two fielders down on the boundary edge.

  16. SL 106-6

    Single, single, dot...

  17. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Sri Lanka are clearly a team in transition but that was some world-class bowling from Adil Rashid.

  18. Chris Jordan will bowl the penultimate over.

    SCurran to bowl the final one?

  19. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special

    That was an impressive spell of leg-spin bowling from Adil Rashid. This could be a very short game.

  20. SL 104-6

    Brilliant from Adil Rashid.

    He concedes just three singles in his final over to finish another truly outstanding spell of bowling. He takes the applause from the crowd with figures of 2-17.
