  1. England review

    Sarah Glenn goes for a sweep, misses and is trapped in front.

    She's moved around a lot in the crease, but is given out. I think she's in trouble if there's no bat involved, though.

  2. Alison Mitchell
    Cricket commentator on BBC Two

    Having been rested from the England series, Nat Sciver-Brunt hit an unbeaten 66 for the Blaze yesterday.

    I found that quite extraordinary. I thought she was being rested from all cricket ahead of the series coming up.

  3. Eng 113-8

    A profitable over for England, as Sarah Glenn takes two boundaries from it.

    The first is a sumptuous cut through the covers, the second a streaky edge past short third - but England will take whatever they can get right now.

  4. Alison Mitchell
    Cricket commentator on BBC Two

    Sri Lanka continue to rip through England. What a performance they're putting on.

    WICKET

    Gibson b Prabodhani 21 (Eng 102-8)

    Gibson's cameo comes to an end!

    Amid all the spin, the seamer Prabodhani has bowled brilliantly for her 2-16 so far.

    Gibson is cleaned up by a full straight delivery after a promising start.

  6. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    Nice timing. Gibson bats at the top of the order for her Hundred team so she prefers pace on the ball.

    She waits for it until it's under her eyes and times it to that off-side boundary.

  7. Eng 100-7

    A lovely way to bring up England's hundred, as Gibson cuts firmly past point for four.

  8. Alison Mitchell
    Cricket commentator on BBC Two

    Sri Lanka have done everything right in the field.

  9. Eng 96-7

    Sarah Glenn, on her home ground as a Derbyshire native, joins Gibson in the middle.

    Gibson has 16 from 11 balls so far and looks like she holds the key to England's hopes at the moment.

  10. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    Sri Lanka looked fired up.

  11. Eng 92-7

    Another fine day for Sri Lanka in the field so far.

    Can they finish it off? England still have five overs to play with to get them up to a decent total.

  12. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    We were talking about how important it is to play straight.

    Charlie Dean was looking to cut a straight ball and it clatters into middle and off stump.

    England are in trouble again.

    WICKET

    Dean b Ranaweera 5 (Eng 91-7)

    And another!

    Charlie Dean goes back to a straight delivery, tries to cut, and is cleaned up.

    The cross-batted shots just aren't working.

  14. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    Wow. Gibson has absolutely smashed that to the boundary.

    She's got power.

  15. Eng 90-6

    That's pretty good, though.

    Short ball and absolutely pummelled for four by Gibson. Smart batting, just waiting for the bad ball.

  16. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    Athapaththu is not happy. She wanted the ball in exactly the right position.

    It's not an awful throw, it's quite a good one but the captain couldn't collect it.

  17. Eng 86-6

    Oh! Chamari Athapaththu fumbles the ball at the stumps to miss an opportunity to run out Charlie Dean.

    A rare error from Sri Lanka in the field.

    England still have plenty of time to get themselves up to a respectable score - if they play sensibly. Which we haven't seen much of so far.

  18. Georgia Elwiss
    England all-rounder on BBC Two

    Brilliant shot from Gibson. She's not trying to overhit it.

    That's what England need to do, they need to be patient and the boundaries will come on this wicket - the ball is sliding on nicely.

  19. Eng 80-6

    Great shot.

    Danielle Gibson nails one through the covers for a pressure-relieving boundary.

    Gibson is a powerful player and Charlie Dean more orthodox, so they're a good combination for England to have here.

  20. Real trouble indeed.
