    Former England captain on BBC Two

    Eoin Morgan loves it through that off side.

  2. Eng 21-2

    Target 112

    England's innings has ignited now. Jason Roy flashes Dushmantha Chameera through the covers for four. Crisp.

  3. Eng 17-2

    Eoin Morgan initially very watchful to left-armer Binura Fernando as he lets one fly through. Next ball, though, he opens his hands up and pings it through the covers for a couple of runs. Morgan then steps down the crease and crisply strikes the last ball over the fence all along the carpet. That's more like it.

  4. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician on BBC Two

    That is Dawid Malan's 26th T20 innings for England - and only the third time he has been out in single figures. He made seven in the first T20 yesterday.

  5. This is a used pitch at Sophia Gardens, it should be noted.

  7. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    Sri Lanka need four of five quick wickets. They've got to look to bowl England out.

    Jordan Davies: Dawid Malan being ‘world no.1’ is a total misnomer. He’s actually not good enough for the XI.

  9. Eng 10-2

    Eoin Morgan is the new man to the crease and Dushmantha Chameera keeps him honest. Sri Lanka's fans are making some noise now.

  10. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    What a start for Sri Lanka this is.

  11. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Kath Bentley: What roller did they use between innings!?!

    Harry: I’ve seen village pitches play better than this.

  12. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Great bit of bowling - pushed him back and then got him with the full one. He was trapped on the crease.

  13. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Alex Wharf 0, Alex Hartley 1.

    WICKET

    Malan lbw Chameera 4 (Eng 9-2)

    That's a great review from Sri Lanka as Dawid Malan is hit in front on review. Dushmantha Chameera is bowling superbly here.

  15. Sri Lanka review

    Dushmantha Chameera pins Dawid Malan back in his crease and there's a big shout for lbw which Sri Lanka have reviewed after the initial decision was not out.

  16. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Jordan Pickford in goal! That really has taken off.

  17. Eng 7-1

    That is a rocket from Dushmantha Chameera to Jason Roy! It kisses the pitch and flashes through to wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella. Roy manages to work him away for a single through square leg next ball.

  18. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    Dawid Malan's strike-rate of 142 is excellent, but he tends to take 10 or 15 balls to get in.

  19. Eng 6-1

    Clever batting from Dawid Malan brings England their first boundary as he late cuts a a short wide ball from Binura Fernando to the boundary. That was a handy opening over from Fernando, though.

  20. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I don't think England will panic yet. I think they'll have to get to around 20-4 before they start to think about panicking but their batting line up is never-ending.
