Joe Root found it very amusing. That was a clean break!

Maybe it's Kusal Mendis' bats that are the problem.

He plays a straightforward defensive shot against Gus Atkinson, and his bat literally snaps off the handle. If that had landed on the stumps...

Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis is in at three.

He was run out at the non-striker's end without facing a ball in his team's chase of 430, so he'll feel very relieved to get off the mark with his first ball here.

Great start from Sonny Baker, though.

Sonny Baker produces some magical balls.

This one on the angle goes between bat and pad. Kamindu Mendis is looking to defend the ball, and it beats him with a little bit of pace.

A bit of relief for Baker for dropping that catch early in the innings.

Sonny Baker has found 1.2° of swing in the powerplay in this tri-series - twice as much as any other English seamer, but still comfortably behind seamers from the other two sides (Shaheen, Razaullah, Asitha, Madushanka and Naseem).

Sonny Baker will bowl his second over and has the chance to make amends...

Sonny Baker got there and Ben Duckett said 'good effort'. Baker has his hands on his hips, and he knew that was an opportunity to get the first wicket.

Avishka dropped on 5published at 3 overs

Put down!

England miss an opportunity for an early breakthrough as Avishka Fernando plays a near-identical pick-up shot, which flies towards Sonny Baker at fine leg.

He's got a fair bit of ground to cover and has to dive forward but he couldn't cling on. Should've been taken.

Ooh, nice bit of flair from Avishka Fernando as he latches on to a short-ish delivery from Gus Atkinson and flicks it off his hip for his first boundary.

Lovely start from Baker, just the single from his first over. When England batted, there was a hint of swing for the first three or four overs, but after that Tom Banton and Ben Duckett made it look easy.

Kamindu Mendis and Avishka Fernando are adopting a similarly cautious approach to begin with.

Sonny Baker will share new ball duties with Gus Atkinson.

A fraction wide from Atkinson, and Kamindu Mendis gets a thick outside edge which races away for four.

It's a tidy start though. England have bowled pretty well in the powerplay, it's the middle overs that have been their downfall. They have left out Jamie Overton today, too.

A week ago I said it wouldn't happen. I am not going to say that today.

The likelihood is it will be a tough old chase for Sri Lanka, but I ate my words a week ago.

Right then, Sri Lanka's chase of 387 is about to begin. It'll be enough this time, right...?

Gus Atkinson has the ball in hand.

Meanwhile in the Test match, South Africa have just started their second innings after Australia were all out for 429 - a lead of exactly 100.

Cooper Connolly was the last man out for 29 to complete a decent fightback from the Proteas after Josh Inglis' century and 80 from Alex Carey had put Australia in command.

Spinner Simon Harmer finished with figures of 4-104 while Marco Jansen continued his brilliant series with 3-60.

England's rapid start also meant that Harry Brook moved up a place to number three, and that Joe Root unusually didn't get a bat.

Had he gone in, it would have been the first time that Joe Root batted outside the top four for England in ODIs since June 2018.

Tom Banton would rather start and have a score of 74 rather than a single figure score. He has done a good job and formed a good partnership with Ben Duckett.

Clearly, Duckett loves batting here, and the partnership he has with Banton is working. The tall and short combination. They have a good synergy.

I expect England to win this.

Banton would've been frustrated not to convert to three figures - considering the conditions and Sri Lanka's tired bowling attack, a century was there for the taking.

But with scores of 73, 126, 57, 50, 4 and 74 in his last six ODI innings, surely he's locked himself in that opening spot for the next series in Australia?

Jacob Bethell may still come back into the side somehow, when he recovers from his knee injury, but it does feel like Banton's done enough to put him on notice in terms of opening for now.

Cheers, Mike.

Well, it's not quite 429 but still a job very well done by England. Ben Duckett led the way with his majestic 167, having added 163 for the first wicket with Tom Banton.

However... it is a pitch that is very favourable for batting, the dew is likely to be a factor in this second innings and we have seen England's inexperience with the ball exposed during this series so far.

Hopefully, we're in for another thriller.
