    Dave: With the depth of England's batting they can look to be around 100 after 15 overs and then 150 + is still achievable. No panic yet....

  2. Eng 61-3

    A quiet over with just two runs coming from it.

    Off-spinner Maheesh Theekshana is done with the ball. His figures an extremely economical 0-13.

    Sri Lanka have two overs of Wanindu Hasaranga left, but that means England will face six overs of pace from the final eight. They will be targeting those.

    Ralph Blackburn: Eoin Morgan currently scoring at a strike-rate of 40 - which is the same as Dom Sibley’s first-class strike-rate.

    That's a much better over for England. They rotated the strike, pushing twos, and it pushes the run rate up. That's where this England team are so good and so adaptable.

  5. Eng 59-3

    Good over for England, with 12 runs coming from it.

    That first-ball boundary helped and then some good placement and running means it is a big over for England.

    A handful more of those and England will be up to a more than competitive total.

  6. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Quite often after drinks breaks we see a wicket, but Jos Buttler has other ideas.

  7. Eng 51-3

    Oh, my. Beautiful from Jos Buttler.

    He stands tall and punches a drive between extra cover and mid-off for his third boundary.

  8. In case you're just checking in for the first time today here are the three England wickets that have fallen.

  9. Alex Hartley

    There's a fine line now - the run rate isn't great so when do you decide to take that risk? One of these players will have to accelerate and soon.

  10. Drinks break

    Eng 47-3

    Just three more singles from the 10th over and it is time for a drink.

    Jos Buttler and Eoin Morgan are very much England's think tank. They'll be having regular conversations about what score they need and what they would back their bowlers to defend on this pitch.

    120? 130? 140? Let's see. There is a lot of power in the shed.

  11. Just a little reminder that England are three from three, guys.

    India, who have been forced to make changes to their batting line-up throughout, are winless from their two games.

    Calm down.

    Thomas Knights: Morgan is a great captain and leader of this England side, sadly his batting has fallen off a cliff and at 5 he seems like a complete passenger at the moment.

  13. Eng 44-3

    Good, tight and probing over from Chamika Karunaratne with just three singles added.

    It looks so tough to score. The ball isn't coming onto the bat at all.

  14. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on BBC Test Match Special

    For a ball to be going over the stumps in Sharjah is quite something.

  15. Not out

    Alex Hartley, take a bow.

    Umpire's call on impact and it is going over the top of the stumps too.

  16. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on BBC Test Match Special

    It didn't feel right.

  17. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    High? Potentially hitting outside the line?

  18. I think I've just seen umpire Rod Tucker signal that it hit outside the line.

  19. Sri Lanka review

    Sri Lanka know Jos Buttler is the key wicket so they send an lbw appeal upstairs for a look.

    Jake S: Death. Taxes. Sri Lanka giving England nightmares in a tournament.
