    It's like Sciver-Brunt has never been away.

    Superb.

    It was dug in very short by Kulasuriya. It wasn't that far away from the fielder but Nat Sciver-Brunt hit it so hard.

  3. Eng 196-2published at 21.2 overs

    Achini Kulasuriya had been Sri Lanka's most threatening bowler but Nat Sciver-Brunt emphatically drives the first ball of her fifth over down the ground, then pulls the next to the rope for four.

    That's a good over from Ranaweera, given the scoring we have seen so far.

    But England are on their way to a very formidable total.

  5. Eng 187-2published at 21 overs

    A quarter chance for Sri Lanka as Nat Sciver-Brunt has a horrible swish at one, cross batted, from Inoka Ranaweera. But the ball beats the bat, and the wicketkeeper, and England add two byes to the total.

    Five runs from Ranaweera's over as Sri Lanka attempt to put on the brakes.

    Here's the best bits from Nat Sciver-Brunt's half-century.

  7. Eng 182-2published at 20 overs

    Centuries beckoning for Nat Sciver-Brunt and Maia Bouchier who are both unbeaten on 84 off 52 and 54 balls respectively.

    The slingy Achini Kulasuriya is able to slow the scoring a fraction as the England batters have to settle for a quiet over of knocking it into the gaps, and rotating the strike.

    No boundaries but seven runs from it.

  8. Eng 175-2published at 19 overs

    Left-arm spinner Inoka Ranaweera into the attack for Sri Lanka, but she can do little to stymie the run rate as Maia Bouchier continues to punish some lax bowling.

    Bouchier is given a flighted full toss on leg stump from Ranaweera and she clinically sweeps it to the boundary for four.

    England continuing to pile on the runs.

  9. Eng 168-2published at 18 overs

    Maia Bouchier picks up two more boundaries as she punishes two loose balls from Oshadi Ranasinghe.

    There's been some glorious strokeplay from Nat Sciver-Brunt and Bouchier in this innings. Three sixes so far.

    Here they are in all their glory.

  10. Eng 156-2published at 17 overs

    England have their tails up and Nat Sciver-Brunt is flying.

    Sciver-Brunt comes down the pitch and scoops Kavisha Dilhari's fourth ball over her head for four then next ball rocks on the back foot and thrashes it through the covers for another.

    Is 300 out of the question here?

    Here's how Maia Bouchier reached her half-century a little while ago...

    Time for a quick drinks break.

    Something warm in a mug would be most appropriate given the cool conditions in Leicester.

  13. Eng 141-2published at 16 overs

    Maia Bouchier looks in irrepressible form as she rocks on the back foot and slaps the off spin of Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu through extra cover for four.

    It's the same result end of the over to Nat Sciver-Brunt who sweeps Athapaththu's final ball for four.

    Thanks, Ffion.

    England are absolutely motoring along here aren't they?

  15. Eng 131-2published at 15 overs

    Too good.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt clubs two more consecutive boundaries down the ground as England are absolutely cruising.

    How many more can they add in the next 16 overs?!

    Here's Timothy Abraham to take you through it.

    Eng 122-2

    Nat Sciver-Brunt marks a special day - her 100th ODI cap and leading the side - with a half-century.

    It almost felt inevitable, the second she strode to the crease despite the early wickets.

    What a player.

    Sri Lanka have just not bowled straight enough. They've bowled both sides of the wicket which makes it very hard to set a field to. Nat Sciver-Brunt and Maia Bouchier have not just rebuilt after the loss of early wickets, but rebuilt quickly.

    England are going like a train here. It's been a wonderful knock from Maia Bouchier.

  19. Eng 116-2published at 14 overs

    Well, that's just begging to be hit for four.

    A filthy full toss from Ranasinghe is put away with disdain by Bouchier.

    Eng 112-2

    A lovely innings, and what a way to go there.

    Maia Bouchier crunches one through mid-wicket for four to reach her first ODI fifty from just 37 balls.
