Target 117
And again! Not as wide this time but too short and Chamari Athapaththu carves it away square again.
England have got no answer to the Sri Lanka skipper.

England have got no answer to the Sri Lanka skipper.
Target 117
Width from Charlie Dean and Chamari Athapaththu crashes the ball though cover point for four.
What a player she is!
Russel Arnold
Former Sri Lanka all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special
It has been a great start again.
Sanjeewani has played a very handy supporting role to Chamari Athapaththu, and that is very pleasing to see others contributing with the bat.
Target 117
Sri Lanka are still rattling along at a shade under 10 an over.
They are making incredibly light work of this chase so far.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Two
England have got to stay patient and remember that if you get Athapaththu out, the game opens up.
Target 117
Flighted by Sarah Glenn to tempt Chamari Athapaththu - and the Sri Lanka captain is happy to give in to temptation.
She skips down and clears mid-off with ease. Four more.
Stranger things have happened but the way Sri Lanka have started, I'd be stunned if this goes down to the wire.
Especially when Chamari Athapaththu is batting like this...
Alison Mitchell
Cricket commentator on BBC Two
Keep those two runs in mind if this game comes down to the wire...
Target 117
England are very fortunate as Charlie Dean starts with a leg-side wide. The ball runs down towards the boundary where Mahika Gaur fields.
She flicks the ball back but her foot is clearly still on the boundary sponge as she picks it up again. Somehow it's not picked up on by the umpires.
Steven Finn
Former England bowler on BBC Two
A monster shot.
It's full on leg stump and you can't bowl there to Athapaththu. It's such a glorious pick-up shot.
Alison Mitchell
Cricket commentator on BBC Two
Wow! There is no stopping that.
Target 117
Goodness me, that's a huge hit from Chamari Athapaththu!
On the pads from Mahika Gaur and just a flick of the wrists from the Sri Lanka skipper to send the ball high over square leg.
Steven Finn
Former England bowler on BBC Two
The inclination for England is to go full and go searching for wickets.
But Chamari Athapaththu doesn't mind that one bit. It's much easier hitting down the ground on this pitch.
Target 117
Glorious!
Just an elegant swing of the bat from Chamari Athapaththu to thump the ball back over Mahika Gaur's head for four.
A touch too full and punished.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Two
I don't think Sri Lanka will look to see off Mahika Gaur but they might target Kate Cross at the other end, who doesn't swing the ball like Gaur does.
Andy Zaltzman
Cricket statistician on Test Match Special
Sri Lanka haven't had much success chasing in T20s.
Of chases between 110-130, they have won three and lost 12.
But they have achieved some of their highest chases recently: 141 to beat New Zealand, 139 to beat India last year and 127 to beat Bangladesh in February during the World Cup.
Target 117
An expensive first over from Kate Cross, 13 from it.
The required rate was never likely to be an issue, England need wickets, but they'll be mildly concerned at the speed at which Sri Lanka have started.
Target 117
The runs keep coming as Anushka Sanjeewani swipes the ball over the leg side for four.
Sri Lanka's openers want to break the back of this chase quickly.
Target 117
On the pads from Kate Cross and Chamari Athapaththu just picks it up and lifts it over deep backward square for six.
Effortless but it clears the rope easily.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Two
Mahika Gaur has the potential to bowl quicker. She has been told by the nutrionist to eat as much as she can whenever she can - they don't want her to put on weight, but they do want her to add a bit of bulk and muscle.
