    Eoin Morgan went for it because he knew if it was umpire's call you get to keep the review.

    SL 15-1

    Oh! Umpire's call.

    It was just clipping the top of leg stump.

    England keep their review, though, so nothing lost.

    It might be a little bit high, it's hit him just above the knee roll.

    There's no bat.

  4. England reviewpublished at 18:45 British Summer Time 24 June 2021

    Ooh. Have David Willey and England got Kusal Perera out lbw here?

    Alex Wharf says no, but after a brief chat Eoin Morgan goes for the review.

  5. SL 12-1published at 2.3 overs

    Chris Jordan is an excellent fielder, isn't he?

    Avishka Fernando creams a drive, but Jordan, at mid-off, does well to get across and his dive keeps it to just a couple.

    Just from what we've seen so far, it looks as if Sri Lanka have got a plan to build partnerships and accelerate later, whereas yesterday they just came out swinging.

  8. SL 9-1published at 2 overs

    There were some absolutely wild celebrations from Sam Curran and England after that wicket.

    They all love football.

    The experienced Kusal Perera is off the mark with a couple through square leg.

    Sam Curran is that bad at football in the warm ups I'm not sure if that's his stronger foot or not!

    Back of the net! 1-0! He hasn't been watching Harry Kane. That's a great follow through from Sam Curran. That was great skill.

    Gunathilaka run out (S Curran) 3 (SL 6-1)

    Magical footwork from Sam Curran. Harry Kane eat your heart out.

    Curran bangs one in a bit shorter, and Avishka Fernando gets a big tangled, looking to flick off his hip. The ball just trickles down onto the pitch, and for some reason, Sri Lanka decide there is a run there.

    Curran runs down the pitches and use his left foot to kick it onto middle stump. Danushka Gunathilaka is miles short of his ground, despite getting the dive out.

    Great start for England.

    I like the name Fernando. What was that show where they took them to the island called Fernando's? Was it Take Me Out?

    Double left-arm bowling for England as Sam Curran shares the new ball.

    There are large boundaries to the sides of the ground here in Sophia Gardens and we saw with England's death bowling last night they hit the middle of the pitch to stop Sri Lanka playing big shots down the ground.

  16. SL 5-0published at 1 overs

    Just three singles, after those two leg byes off the first delivery. A good, steady start from David Willey.

    Jos Buttler, who is out tonight with a calf injury, is drinking a hot drink in the dugout. He had a scan this morning as a precaution.

  17. SL 3-0published at 0.3 overs

    There is zero movement for David Willey so far.

    Tonight will be a test of his variations instead.

  18. SL 2-0published at 0.1 overs

    A loosener from David Willey first up and Sri Lanka are off and running with a couple of leg byes down to fine leg.

    Hopefully today Sri Lanka can put their batting right. The batsmen should know how the pitch is going to play, and I think 155-160 will give England something to think about.

    David Willey might swing it first up. It might be worth Eoin Morgan having a slip or two early on. Sri Lanka will be looking to impose themselves early on in this game.
