    That one stayed very low. Billings was trying to give himself some room and hit through the off-side but it's always dangerous to try and play Hasaranga off the back foot because he's very skiddy.

    Billings b Hasaranga 24 (Eng 90-5)

    Sam Billings backs away to give himself some room but Wanindu Hasaranga's delivery squirts low at the base of the stumps and knocks the bails off. Smart stuff from the Sri Lankan spinner.

  4. Eng 90-4published at 14.2 overs

    DLS target 103

    A stumping chance missed by Niroshan Dickwella as Sam Billings fails to pick Wanindu Hasaranga's Googly. The ball races away for four leg byes.

    That's brilliant from Liam Livingstone, it's good to see him taking the positive option and not getting bogged down.

    DLS target 103

    Liam Livingstone hits his first boundary and he does it in style. The Lancashire man crouches down to a delivery from Dushmantha Chameera and ramps the ball over the wicketkeeper's head for four. That's got the crowd off their feet cheering.

    You get a sense with the way these two have played, with good intensity, they know that this team is so hard to get into and they want to make their opportunities count.

    Sam Billings is given a little bit of width from Dushmantha Chameera and he rocks back and crunches it through the covers for four. Clinical.

    Dushmantha Chameera will bowl the last of his four overs.

    All you can expect is for the bowlers to go out there and compete when you haven't got many runs on the board and the early wicket from Fernando really sparked them into life. It's been good to see some fight.

    It should be a stroll in the park ...

    Target 103

    Sam Billings and Liam Livingstone continue where they left off against Wanindu Hasaranga, knocking the ball into the gaps with low-risk batting. They both know it's just about getting England within striking distance and then they can go big if needed. 29 required from 30 balls.

  14. Multan Sultans win Pakistan Super Leaguepublished at 21:54 British Summer Time 24 June 2021

    Multan Sultans have won the Pakistan Super League for the first time, beating Peshawar Zalmi by 47 runs in a one-sided final in Abu Dhabi.

    Multan amassed 206-4 thanks to Sohaib Maqsood's brutal 65 not out off 35 balls, while Rilee Rossouw flayed 50 off 21.

    Peshawar rarely threatened to pull off the highest chase in PSL history, and the game was as good as done once Shoaib Malik fell for 48 off 28 deliveries.

    The bleached blonde Wanindu Hasaranga is preparing to bowl.

    England wobbled at 36-4 as Jason Roy and Eoin Morgan departed in quick succession. But Liam Livingstone and Sam Billings, who are striding out to the middle as I write, have since steadied the ship with 33 from 34 balls.

    Another miserable night for Dawid Malan, whose place will surely now be under scrutiny, as he was trapped lbw by the impressive Dushmantha Chameera after Sri Lanka successfully reviewed.

    England lost Jonny Bairstow early on when he was cleaned up by Binura Fernando without scoring.

    A late flourish from Sri Lanka, who looked like they might not get to a 100 at one point, as Isuru Udana twice found the boundary with a couple of big hits including this one off Chris Jordan.

    Mark Wood bowled with real pace and aggression. He was on a hat-trick after capturing the wickets of Kusal Mendis and Niroshan Dickwella, but he was not quite able to complete the treble.
