Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialCharlie Dean is just putting a little bit of pressure back on Sri Lanka. Let's see how they react.
Eng 82-8published at 14 overs
Very good from Charlie Dean.
Under pressure, she nails back-to-back sweeps for four before threading another through the covers.
Rare loose bowling from Sri Lanka, and Dean capitalises.

Sri Lanka visibly struggled with gripping the ball in the damp of Hove on Thursday.
Can see why they mentioned it - this is what they can do when they can actually hold the thing properly.

Issy Wong, playing her first England match of the year, has got heck of a task on her hands.

Glenn c Sanjeewani b Dilhari 0 (Eng 66-8)
The collapse continues!
Sarah Glenn goes back and tries to play a late cut but gets a thick edge through to the keeper, who does well to stay still and take a smart catch.
A second wicket for Dilhari and Sri Lanka's spinners continue to run riot.

Gibson c Ranaweera b Priyadharshani 9 (Eng 65-7)
The drop doesn't cost Sri Lanka too much!
Gibson takes the aggressive option with a reverse sweep but it's snaffled with a smart diving catch from Ranaweera at short third.
England's brief rebuild is over.

BBC radio commentatorEngland clearly have some inherent weaknesses against spin and it is showing on the big stage today.

They have just lost a review but Sri Lanka used one very smartly to get rid of Amy Jones earlier.

Former Sri Lanka all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialIt has been a very good pitch from what we can see, it is not spinning and there is no uneven bounce. Sri Lanka are just hanging it out there and dangling the carrot to the England batters.
There also haven't been any loose balls like we saw on Thursday.
Gibson dropped on 5published at 11 overs
Eng 59-6
Could have been seven!
A simple drop from Kumari as Gibson chips the ball straight back at her.
It looked like a bump ball initially because there was barely any reaction from the bowler, but replays show a definite drop.
Sri Lanka are just starting to make a few errors that could cost them. England bat all the way down to 11.

BBC radio commentatorI don't mind Sri Lanka going for the review there. They have to try and keep their foot on the pedal and get into the England bowlers.

Off the pad.
Right decision from Anna Harris and a first blemish for Sri Lanka as they lose a review.
Umpire reviewpublished at 10.2 overs
Sri Lanka are very confident that they have a seventh.
Has Danielle Gibson been caught down the leg side?
Eng 51-6published at 10 overs
Charlie Dean joins Danielle Gibson at the crease and dabs a single to get off the mark from her first ball.
Halfway through England's innings and it has been all Sri Lanka so far.

Knight c & b Ranaweera 14 (Eng 48-6)
Ah, spoke too soon.
A very soft dismissal! Heather Knight is furious with herself, swishing her gloves as she trudges off after chipping a simple catch to the bowler.
England sink deeper and deeper into trouble.
Eng 48-5published at 9 overs
Danielle Gibson joins Heather Knight in the middle, who has a run-a-ball 14.
The captain has got a lot to do here.

Former Sri Lanka all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialThat's a brilliant stumping from Anushka Sanjeewani.

Kemp st Sanjeewani b Dilhari 2 (Eng 46-5)
Gone! That's a very good piece of work in the end!
It looks a bit messy because she had such a long stretch but she does it brilliantly, taking the ball cleanly down the leg side and Freya Kemp is well short of her ground despite a scrambling dive.
Big trouble for England.
