  3. 6 runs

    Eng 105-3

    Buttler 63, Morgan 22

    Six more! Three in the over. Lahiru Kumara doesn't his yorker right and Jos Buttler drills him straight back over his head.

    England were 47-3 at the 10-over mark. They have added 58 in the last five overs. Buttler and Eoin Morgan have played this brilliantly as a partnership.

  4. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Jos Buttler's half-century came from 45 balls with one six and four fours. It is his slowest half-century in a T20 international.

    Jos Buttler fancies this now.

  6. 6 runs

    Eng 96-3

    WHAT. A. SHOT.

    Lahiru Kumara goes full outside off-stump and Jos Buttler goes deep in his crease and plants him over the covers for another six.

    Unreal. Jos Buttler is so so good.

  7. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    The timing on that sounded brilliant. It sounded like it came out of the middle of the bat.

  8. 6 runs

    Eng 89-3

    Eoin Morgan, come on down.

    He advances down the track and drills a drive over the covers for six.

    Morgan and Buttler have now put on 54. A fantastic partnership.

  9. Get Involved

    I think Morgan should just go for it now and allow his other batters some time at the creas. I'm waiting for Livingstone to light this tournament up - possibly send him in at 3 instead of Malan?

    We're seeing a real captain here. Morgan knows he's out of form, instead he provides the perfect foil for Jos to turn it on again.

    Neil Leverett:

  10. Eng 83-3

    Will that boundary unlock some form for Eoin Morgan?

    He has taken 23 balls for his 15 runs so far today. That is slow if he gets out, but if he carries on here and catches up, it is an invaluable knock.

  11. Eng 82-3

    Punished!

    A leg-stump full toss from Wanindu Hasaranga and Eoin Morgan sweeps away for his first boundary.

  12. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Jos Buttler looks tremendously focused out in the middle.

  13. 50 runs

    50 for Jos Buttler

    Brilliant from the England wicketkeeper.

    It has taken 45 balls - his slowest in Twenty20 cricket - but England needed him to stay around today and he's done just that.

  14. Wanindu Hasaranga is on to bowl of his two remaining overs of spin.

  15. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Buttler is definitely finding his timing now.

  16. Eng 75-3

    Jos Buttler's shirt is literally shocking wet. It looks like he has hand washed it in the sink, picked it up and put it on. It is dripping wet.

    He picks up a couple more with a beautiful drive, before jamming a wide ball out for a single.

    England take 14 from that over.

  17. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    England have looked to be busier after the drinks break. Buttler is playing more aggressive shots and it looks that bit easier.

  18. 6 runs

    Eng 72-3

    Here we go!

    The slower ball from Chamika Karunaratne and again it comes off the lower part of the bat but it has enough distance to clear the ropes.

  19. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Buttler went deep into his crease to thump that through the on side. We said that the risk needed to be taken against the seamers.

  20. Eng 66-3

    A welcome boundary for Jos Buttler and England.

    It isn't out the cleanest of the connections but he picks up four through mid-wicket.
