    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    I wouldn't be worried if I was the fielding coach. Catches are going to go down in tournaments.

  2. SL 54-3

    Target 164

    Chris Woakes slapped the ground in frustration after that drop. Whoops.

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

    Chris Woakes, who has done nothing wrong and can do no wrong, has dropped a dolly.

    Is it a slippery ball? I'll make all sorts of excuses for Chris because he's a nice guy but he's dropped a bit of a stinker there.

  4. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    There will have been a lot of spin on the ball there and they are never easy out of a dark sky.

  5. dropped catch

    Rajapaksa dropped on 13

    Oh. Oh no.

    That is unfortunate. Bhanuka Rajapaksa larrups Adil Rashid into the air, no real sense of timing, and Chris Woakes is there, waiting, at deep square leg. He bends, getting down low, watches the ball into his hands - and then watches it bobble straight back out.

  6. Sri Lanka are ahead of England at this stage...

    You know what, with us getting closer to Christmas, I prefer the red.

    Just not with the blue pads...

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

    Do you prefer the blue or red pants?

  9. SL 50-3

    Target 163

    Ten from Liam Livingstone's first over. Always a gamble, given how short the boundaries are at Sharjah.

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

    It was a very good stroke that. It went straight as a die and was effortless.

  11. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It was just too full from Liam Livingstone and in the slot.

  12. 6 runs

    SL 48-3

    Liam Livingstone is on for a bowl, and his third delivery is sent dismissively back over his head for a six by Bhanuka Rajapaksa.

  13. Here's how the first Sri Lankan wicket fell.

  14. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It is good that England got put under pressure today. You can't want to ease through the group stage at a World Cup and then have a tight semi-final or final.

  15. SL 40-3

    Sri Lanka need 124 runs from 84 balls.

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

    What a good shot that was.

  17. SL 39-3

    Bhanuka Rajapaksa joins Avishka Fernando out in the middle, and he gets off the mark with an uppish drive that sends the ball sailing over cover and away for four.

  18. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    They are never the easiest catches but Eoin Morgan made that look really simple.

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

    Kusal Perera never really had any control over that stroke. The shot was on with it being the powerplay but he never really quite got there.

    WICKET

    Perera c Morgan b Rashid 7 (SL 34-3)

    Well.

    Kusal Perera slices Adil Rashid into the air and Eoin Morgan makes a difficult catch look very simple as he runs back and takes the ball over his shoulder. Not easy, those, especially not with the lights blazing above you.
