    Jennie Rigg: Why did Sri Lanka choose to bat first? Surely having a target to aim at would have been psychologically more workable?

  2. SL 88-6

    Adil Rashid finishes with figures of 2-24 from his four overs. Another superb night for the England leggie.

    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Wanindu Hasaranga was done in the flight and by a little bit of turn from Adil Rashid. The pressure England put on played a part in that wicket. Jonny Bairstow has done well with the gloves too because that climbed up off the pitch.

    I don't mind that from Hasaranga - he knows he's under pressure and his team needs some runs so he's taken a wild swing. He just completely lost his shape.

    WICKET

    Hasaranga st Bairstow b Rashid 3 (SL 87-6)

    Another one.

    Wanindu Hasaranga does try and take the attack to the Adil Rashid, but there's a little bit of extra bounce and it beats him, and Jonny Bairstow does well to take it cleanly and whip off the bails.

  6. Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician on BBC Two

    Adil Rashid has been key to England's success with the white ball. Spin has become the most important forms of bowling in T20 cricket. Rashid is fourth in the ICC T20 bowling rankings and in the top 10 there are eight mystery spinners.

  7. Adil Rashid is going to bowl out.

    Sri Lanka just need to attack here, surely?

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

    It's not often in a T20 that your wicketkeeper is your busiest fielder, but Jonny Bairstow has been kept very busy.

  9. This was a rare highlight for Sri Lanka...

  10. SL 84-5

    Shanaka 6, Hasaranga 2

    I've lost count of how many times Mark Wood has beaten the bat in his first overs. It must be at least seven or eight.

    He finishes a superb day with a 93mph delivery, and with figures of 2-18.

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

    Sri Lanka don't look as if they're going to get anywhere close to their 129 from yesterday, and that was well below par in itself.

  12. Is the current Moeen Ali a better option than Liam Livingstone?

    England may like the flexibility that Livingstone can give them in the squad. He can bat anywhere in the top six. Can Moeen do that?

    James O'Hara: Surely with conditions in India shouldn’t we be playing moeen Ali in this side?

  14. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    Sri Lanka are still struggling. Can they blitz something in the last five overs?

  15. SL 81-5

    Just five off the over.

    What can Sri Lanka get up to here? They've got five overs left. They need to get at least 130 you'd think.

  16. Please let us know the weirdest/best fancy dress outfits you've seen at the cricket using #bbccricket.

    I can't think of any off the top of my head, but the only thing I can ever remember from going to the cricket is a fan singing "I've got a whole chicken in my hands" and holding it up, to the tune of the school song "I've got the whole world in my hands".

    Quite bizarre.

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

    I've never gone to a cricket match dressed up as anything. But I have gone to Chester Zoo dressed as an elephant, though.

  18. Ian Bell
    Former England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    These teams are in very different places. Sri Lanka are a young side in transition, not played too much over here in the UK whereas England are just full of confidence.

  19. SL 76-5

    Mark Wood beats Wanindu Hasaranga again to end the over. He's got figures of 2-15 from three overs at the moment.

    England are just too good for Sri Lanka at the moment.

  20. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    Oooh! So close. That was very nearly an edge.
