England are cruising. Eshan Malinga isn't helping matters though, bowling both sides of the wicket as Banton bangs one for four down the ground and then whips another through mid-wicket.

During last week's chase of 430, I had the pleasure of live-texting the chaotic second halves of both innings but we've swapped things around today. Here's Mike Peter to take you through the next 30 overs, which could bring similar levels of carnage with the way England have started.

Sri Lanka need to find a way of applying some pressure to England.

Everything is pretty straightforward.

It is all too easy for England out in the middle.

Ben Duckett is all over Sri Lanka here. He is able to adjust to every plan they are trying.

This time, Janith Liyanage tries a couple of short balls but Duckett dispatches them both for four.

Australia have lost their first wicket on day three of the third Test, but not before Josh Inglis reached his second Test century.

The right-hander got there in 132 balls before edging Simon Harmer behind for 102.

He still has Australia in a position of strength. They are 377-5, leading by 48 on first innings.

Follow the latest here.

As Alex says, Tom Banton's done brilliantly well but in such good batting conditions, he would be desperate to turn this one into three figures knowing that Jacob Bethell is waiting in the wings.

Tom Banton has got a good average at the top of the order, 45.

He has had a good tournament, but then he has not been able to capitalise on the 50s or the starts that he has got.

Tom Banton reaches another half-century - his fifth in his past six ODI innings.

An exceptional return to the format for England's newest opener.

England will be desperate for Joe Root to get in and score some runs before he gets off to Australia.

He has been shy of runs in this tournament so far. He is crucial to England's success.

Here's the all-rounder Janith Liyanage, who struggled with the ball in England's 429 (he wasn't alone there, in fairness) but was the hero with the bat.

He starts well here though, as Banton and Duckett get themselves resettled after drinks by ticking five runs off the over.

England have upped their run-rate in recent overs.

A strange feeling about today.

End of school vibes where your teacher just puts on a movie and says, 'That's our lesson today'.

The way England are going, they are on for another mammoth score.

Eeek.

Ben Duckett makes it three boundaries in the over, pulling firmly again before drilling another through the off side.

Problems for Sri Lanka, and they now have a timely drinks' break to reassess their plans.

Ben Duckett pulls into the leg side to bring up his fifty and the hundred partnership with the same shot.

It's a belting pitch, and he's just picked up where he left off from his century a few days ago.

Yep, he's on the charge now.

Banton skips down the pitch and launches Arachchige over mid-wicket for the first six of the day.

I hope these two keep playing with the intent that they are against the spin here.

Keep the scoreboard going. England still have Joe Root and Harry Brook to come, then down into the powerful middle order.

They have an opportunity here to post another mammoth total. It is all in England's hands.

On cue!

Tom Banton slams this one straight down the ground, over the head of mid-off for four.

We're whizzing through the overs of spin now.

There are cries of "catch!" from fielders as Tom Banton lofts one aerially towards long-off, but his lack of timing ensures that it lands safely. Still no real sign of aggression towards the spinners yet, so it'll be interesting to see if and when one of them flicks the switch.

It will be interesting to see if England will be stubborn and truly believe that having those all-rounders in the middle making up the fifth bowler is going to work for them moving towards that World Cup.

I think Sam Curran has come off a long lay off from injury, and to be thrust into a series like this was always going to be challenging. But it is good that England want to give them opportunities and that they don't turf someone after one game.

Spin from both ends - here's Sahan Arachchige.

Banton and Duckett are cautious against his first over, just ticking the singles from it, but they're still setting up for a big total here.
