    Ooh, this looks very out - and it's given! Kusal Mendis, lbw!

    He sends it upstairs, though...

    Sri Lanka's top six have to find a way to put runs on the board here. You can see they are a side in the middle of a rebuild, and if you're playing for England you're looking down their team sheet without too much trepidation.

  3. SL 49-2published at 7.2 overs

    Liam Livingstone's first ball is an off-spinner, which he follows up with a leg-spinner that gets carted by Kusal Mendis for a couple of runs.

    Now then, the first look at some spin - and it'll be Liam Livingstone to bowl it.

    England have looked really good so far in the field. They look well drilled. Eoin Morgan has rotated the bowlers well and they clearly are a well-oiled machine.

  6. SL 45-2published at 7 overs

    Kusal Perera calls for a new bat after only being able to work a smattering of singles here and there, but he can only work another sole run off the pads as the over ticks along.

    That's the end of the Powerplay - and here's the first of the two Sri Lankan wickets to fall.

    As a player knowing what your role is, and what you do well in the team, is what England have excelled at in the past year or so. They have that stability. Sri Lanka have few months before the World T20 to sort that out.

  9. SL 38-2published at 6 overs

    How very formal.

    SCurran mixes up his paces nicely to complete a very tidy over.

    Jordan and Wood first change is a sign of the strength of England's bowling. This bowling attack is so impressive. It's relentless - they keep coming at you at all times.

  13. SL 33-2published at 5 overs

    Kusal Mendis gets off the mark to his second delivery with the simplest of singles

    Jordan had both fielders behind the wicket in the circle, but Gunathilaka hit that straight up in the air.

    Buttler has never taken an easier catch than that in his life.

    Gunathilaka c Buttler b Jordan 19 (SL 31-2)

    Well, that's not the prettiest of ways to get out.

    Danushka Gunathilaka swings into a pull shot, gets it all wrong, and a top edge flies high into the air, giving Jos Buttler time to take a few steps back and take the simplest of catches.

    That's clever batting - using the pace of the ball and guiding it down to third man.

  18. SL 31-1published at 4.2 overs

    That's a clever little shot from Danushka Gunathilaka, leaning back and using Chris Jordan's pace to run the ball down to third man for four.

  19. Postpublished at 18:53 British Summer Time 23 June 2021

    Chris Jordan is going to have a bowl.

    That's good batting.
