  2. Eng 55-0

    I'm with Ebony. Hasaranga is great and he begins with a decent enough over.

    This one from Dawid Malan earlier is the shot of the day so far, for me.

  3. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Hasaranga is becoming one of my favourite cricketers.

  4. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special

    The light blue shoes against the dark blue clothes, Hasaranga has definitely thought this look through hasn't he?

  5. Eng 50-0

    Wanindu Hasaranga, Sri Lanka's blonde-tipped leg-spinner, is introduced now.

    There's gentle applause as England reach 50.

  6. Eng 48-0

    Bairstow 26, Malan 14

    There's not a lot wrong with this delivery but Bairstow still slaps it away to the fence. England's ginger-haired opener looks at ease right now against Sandakan's box of tricks.

  7. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That's a poor start from the spinner, it was too full and with mid-off in the circle, it was too easy for Jonny Bairstow to just loft it down the ground.

  8. Eng 43-0

    Sandakan's first ball is powered down the ground by Bairstow. England are motoring.

  9. Eng 39-0

    Bairstow 17, Malan 14

    Malan heaps some more pain onto Udana with a four through the leg side. Two fours, eight wides, three dots and a single in that over. Quite frankly, it was a mess.

    Left-arm leggie Lakshan Sandakan is coming on.

  10. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I feel for Udana here, he just hasn't found his radar and it's a brutal game when that happens.

  11. Eng 35-0

    Eeeek. This is turning into a very long over. Udana bowls his fourth wide delivery. He's run in eight times and still has two more deliveries to go.

  12. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special

    Having started reasonably well, Sri Lanka won't like this. They've given England a chance to get away from them now.

  13. Eng 32-0

    Four wides now from Udana. Can Karim Benzema play cricket?

  14. Eng 27-0

    Olivier Giroud lookalike himself, Irusu Udana, is on and begins with a wide. Jonny Bairstow then crunches him over extra cover. Not a great start.

  15. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special

    Sri Lanka have bowled some really good deliveries so far but England have always managed to find a way to release the pressure, either by a boundary or just rotating the strike.

  16. Eng 22-0

    Despite Malan's six, I wouldn't say the pitch looks perfect. The leftie swings at another and takes the ball in the midriff somewhere, grunting and groaning as he does. A decent comeback from Fernando.

  17. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That was the first time Fernando had erred from his line and length. He just went a bit too straight and Malan timed it to perfection.

  18. 6 runs

    Eng 20-0

    A lovely, lovely shot from Dawid Malan, who steps across his stumps and lifts Fernando a mile over the leg side for six. I'll be impressed if we see a better shot today.

  19. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    When England were a side in transition after the 2015 World Cup, particularly in 50-over cricket, they stuck with the same group of players no matter their form. Sri Lanka need to do something similar.

  20. Eng 14-0

    Bairstow 11, Malan 3

    Sri Lanka's kit is lovely, isn't it? England's? An abomination.
