  1. Eng 147-2published at 16 overs

    Malan 71, Billings 2

    A good over from B Fernando, he finishes with figures of 1-26. What can England get to from here? They'll be eyeing 200 with the way Malan has been going.

  2. Eng 144-2published at 15.2 overs

    Billings gets off the mark first ball with an easy single.

    The little flourish of the bottom hand that we've been talking about almost got him in trouble. He looked promising and it was an opportunity for him to add to his case.

    Livingstone c Shanaka b B Fernando 14

    Liam Livingstone was just starting to get going but he's toe-ended one to cover trying to go over the leg side. Sam Billings comes in.

    Malan 69, Livingstone 14

    18 from the over. Five to go. Time for me to hand to Ffion Wynne...

    Dawid Malan is putting his foot on the accelerator.

  7. 6 runs

    Eng 141-1published at 14.4 overs

    You know those people who want Dawid Malan dropped? Madness.

    He goes to 68 from 37 with another six.

  8. Eng 135-1published at 14.3 overs

    We've just had a truly extraordinary moment as Sandakan attempts a football rainbow flick to get the ball over the advertising boards after Malan's six. It fails miserably and, because he can't pick it up until it has been sanitised, ends up kicking it all the way back to the umpire.

    That's probably the worst ball Hasaranga has bowled all series. He's having a day to forget so far.

  10. 6 runs

    Eng 131-1published at 14.1 overs

    Biggest of the day? Probably. Malan smacks a Hasaranga long-hop a mile.

    He's out now but here are the highlights from Jonny Bairstow's fifty...

    Liam Livingstone used his wrists really well there but with power, a bit of Kevin Pietersen about that.

  13. Eng 125-1published at 14 overs

    Liam Livingstone cracks one that sounds like a firework as it flies off his bat. The fielder in the deep doesn't even bother chasing it down.

    There's nothing you can do as a bowler there. Liam Livingstone has made that shot from absolutely nowhere, it's beautiful to watch.

  15. Eng 119-1published at 13.3 overs

    Brilliant. Liam Livingstone steps away and scoops a yorkers off his toes up over the wicketkeeper for four.

    This has been a telling innings from Dawid Malan. Under real pressure and scrutiny, he's come to the party.

  17. Eng 114-1published at 13 overs

    Malan 51, Livingstone 3

    I think so, Jack. With the batting they have to come England will fancy that. And would Sri Lanka be able to chase it? You'd have to doubt it on the evidence of this series so far.

    Malan looks frustrated again but a two a ball later gets him to 50 from 30 balls. A gentle reminder from him.

    Jack: I would be exceptionally disappointed if England fail to get at least 180 here. Bit of a slow innings from Bairstow, but with 9 wickets left it should be achievable.

  19. Eng 106-1published at 12 overs

    Malan 45, Livingstone 1

    Livingstone is off the mark with a single.

    No tinkerage yet. Liam Livingstone walks out at number three.
