    Dot, dot - spanked for six!

    My word. Asalanka takes a couple of steps forward and swats Chris Woakes straight over long-on for a big 'un.

    Not sure I can cope with cartoon villain David Warner actually being a nice man.

    Speaking of nice men, here's Chris Woakes, officially the nicest man in cricket.

    Even England's rivals are giving Buttler the big one.

    Target 164

    New batter Charith Asalanka gets off the mark with a single.

    There's no need to take those singles. I'm all for building a platform and giving yourselves an over or two to get in.

    Huge disappointment for Nissanka.

    WICKETpublished at 0.3 overs

    Nissanka run out (Morgan) 1 (SL 1-1)

    Out by a mile.

    Kusal Perera has sold his mate a bad one, there. He calls for a quick single, despite Eoin Morgan swooping onto the ball at backward square, and not even the despairing dive from Nissanka can save him. Gone!

  8. Umpire reviewpublished at 15:56 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2021

    Oh, this looks out!

    Eoin Morgan pings a throw in to Jos Buttler, who has the bails off as Nissanka dives to reach his ground...

    I think England have got enough.

    Target 164

    Flicked off the pads first up by Nissanka, and a single gets Sri Lanka's innings under way.

  11. Postpublished at 15:54 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2021

    Moeen Ali will open the bowling for England.

    England assistant coach Paul Collingwood: "If you look at the score after 10 overs we were in little bit of trouble. The guys were relaying to the dressing room that 110 might have been a good total so to get up to 160 we are delighted.

    "There is a bit of dew around. We will have to bowl as well as we have in the last few games.

    "It was a special innings."

  13. Postpublished at 15:54 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2021

    Right, let's have a run chase.

    Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Perera will get things going for Sri Lanka. It'll take some boshing to get this total.

    Cheers, Callum.

    Well. That was something and a half from Jos Buttler.

    Time for me to have a lie down.

    Amy Lofthouse will take you through Sri Lanka's chase of 164.

    Dr James Pope: Jos Buttler is very very VERY special. Given the pitch, he paced a genius innings to score a brilliant 100.

    Bowser: Jos Buttler is superhuman. What a man.

    We'll bring you loads more of Jos Buttler clips in the next couple of hours but here are some of his best moments from that century.

    What words can you even use to describe him anymore? A truly magnificent cricketer.
