  2. Eng 176-1

    Ben Duckett moves closer to his hundred, pulling Dilshan Madushanka for four.

    Asitha Fernando can't cut the shot off at deep square.

  3. How's stat?!

    A measured 74 (75) from Tom Banton who is beginning to look at home at the top of the order. He hit 10 boundaries (8x4, 2x6), but fell playing on to the widest delivery he faced in his innings.

  4. Not out

    Eng 170-1

    Nope, no bat there and they don't even seem to check the stumping so that must have been fine as well.

    Two balls left in the over - Harry Brook takes a single to mid-off before Ben Duckett helps a leg-side delivery on its way to the ropes.

    The first boundary in four overs, that's Duckett into the nineties.

    Kusal Mendis behind the stumps didn't believe it was out because there wasn't a huge appeal.

  6. Sri Lanka review

    Another early dismissal for the England captain?

    Nothing from the umpire, but Sri Lanka suspect Harry Brook may have feathered an edge down the leg side off Dasun Shanaka.

    There's also a possible stumping, with Brook a little off balance and Kusal Mendis whipping off the bails after collecting the ball.

    I would love to see England play one tri-series a year in England. It brings context.

    As a player, as a fan, to watch different teams play against each other as well.

    We're lucky in England that the neutral games without England playing would do well as we have such a multicultural society.

    Let's keep banging that drum until someone from the ECB listens.

  8. Eng 165-1

    Hello, Harry Brook has come in up the order, batting ahead of Joe Root.

    The England skipper gets off the mark from his third delivery, guiding Dilshan Madushanka's final ball down to third for a single.

    That was the 15th highest opening stand by an England pair in ODI cricket.

    You could sense a bit of frustration from Tom Banton.

    When he had been standing on top of the ball and punching with the straight bat, they had not found a boundary off the seam in the last three to four overs.

    You sense Banton's bottom hand coming down and back shoulder coming into it and forcing it through extra cover.

    He chops across an off-cutter from Dasun Shanaka.

    Sri Lanka's Dasun Shanaka celebrates after taking the wicket of England's Tom Banton with teammatesReuters

    Tom Banton falls at the half-way mark!

    The England opener swipes at a wide-ish delivery from Dasun Shanaka and chops an inside-edge onto his stumps.

    This pair miss out on getting on the chart in the previous entry, on this occasion at least.

    That middle order for England, there is plenty of power to come and some T20 specialists, which can be absolutely devastating in the last 20 overs.

  13. Eng 160-0

    Asitha Fernando finishes his over with four dot balls, having conceded a couple of singles off his opening two balls.

    Ben Duckett sits on 85 from 75 deliveries, while Tom Banton has 72 from 70.

    Dasun Shanaka is about to enter the attack as Sri Lanka's seventh bowler.

    England's batters work three runs off the back half of the over.

    Dunith Wellalage has figures of 0-37, having bowled six overs.

    Tom Banton a couple of games ago timidly got out chipping it to mid-off.

    Here he trusted himself and went all the way through with the shot and timed it nicely.

    The 400 is on.

  16. 6 runs

    150 up with a six!

    Tom Banton advances down the track to Dunith Wellalage and swats him over long-on.

    It seems Asitha Fernando has got the most bounce on the surface.

    He has caused some false shots in this over. Sri Lanka really need a breakthrough.

    Will England shuffle that middle order if this partnership grows? Potentially.

  18. Eng 148-0

    Asitha Fernando's latest effort goes for four runs.

    Meanwhile the TV camera operators seem more interested in a handsome looking hawk perched somewhere in the stadium's perimeter.

    This is now the highest partnership between Tom Banton and Ben Duckett, passing the 143 they managed against Sri Lanka in September.

  20. Eng 144-0

    Thanks Ffion - England scored 133 from 25 overs when I did the opening stint in that match, they've scored a bit more quickly today.

    Tom Banton and Ben Duckett add four more runs to their total here, with the former sending a delivery from Dunith Wellalage out to the point boundary.

    Dilshan Madushanka does some good work to cut off the four, with the England batters running two.
