    Two wickets for Gaur, now two wickets for Filer!

    A second caught behind for the debutant, edging behind to Amy Jones and another Sri Lankan batter falls after showing signs of a start.

  3. SL 78-4published at 19 overs

    England introduce a fifth bowler in Alice Capsey.

    Dilhari picks up two after a boundary throw flies over the head of Amy Jones and then spits off an old wicket and beats Heather Knight.

    Loose delivery from Filer. A bit of a gift for Dilhari.

  5. SL 74-4published at 18 overs

    Cracking shot from Kavisha Dilhari, powering Filer's final delivery through the covers.

    The Sri Lankan batter averages 35.88 in ODIs, aside from Athapaththu the only player in this side with a notable figure in that column.

    Harshitha Samarawickrama has played 23 ODIs but only has one fifty.

    But she is looking so impressive. Her shot selection, she has time and knows to work the ball into gaps.

    She's very slightly built but she times the ball so well.

  7. SL 68-4published at 17 overs

    Dilhari and Harshitha exchange singles from Glenn's over, pushing deliveries into the leg-side.

  8. SL 66-4published at 16 overs

    New batter Kavisha Dilhari gets off the mark straight away, edging the ball into mid-wicket.

    Harshitha then finds the boundary with a classy pull shot to offer her team a bit of solace.

    Not how you want your first wicket to come but you'll take it. Strangled down the leg side.

    Perera c Jones b Filer 10 (SL 61-4)

    She didn't have to wait for long!

    Shorter delivery from Filer and Perera gloves down the leg-side for Amy Jones to snaffle behind the stumps.

    Both England's seamer debutants have wickets now, now we just need Maia Bouchier to have a bowl.

    I did not think it would be going over. But Lauren Filer is tall and gets more bounce.

  13. Not outpublished at 15.2 overs

    No, Filer will have to wait.

    It strikes the back pad of Perera and ball tracking shows the ball is going over the stumps.

    They've gone for it. I think Knight fancied it more than the bowler or the wicketkeeper.

  15. Umpire reviewpublished at 12:10 British Summer Time 9 September 2023

    Hello?

    Does Lauren Filer have her first international wicket? She hits Perera on the pads, umpire Sue Redfearn isn't having it, but after much deliberation we're going upstaits.

  16. SL 61-3published at 15 overs

    Impressive shot from Hasini Perera off the bowling of Sarah Glenn, finding a small gap in the England covers and reaching the boundary.

    Here's how Sarah took the wicket of Gunaratne. Dead straight!

    A good start from Lauren Filer. The pure pace and the heat she brings is exciting to see.

    England are in a good position.

  19. SL 55-3published at 14 overs

    England introduce Lauren Filer into the attack in place of Kate Cross.

    The debutant bustles in and her first ball draws a play-and-miss from Harshitha. The Sri Lankan batter then finds consecutive twos to mid-wicket.

    Every delivery in the mid-70s for the 22-year-old, an impressive start to her ODI career.

    We'll take drinks.

    England should be hammering Sri Lanka but it was the other way around in the T20 series.

    That should be a big wake-up call. It showed that England don't play spin very well.
