  1. SL 56-2

    No run off the final ball of the over either as the powerplay comes to an end.

    Sri Lanka were having an excellent time of it until the last four balls.

    Two wickets and one run from Liam Dawson's first over.

  2. SL 56-2

    Charith Asalanka dabs the hat-trick ball into the leg side.

    He initially seems inclined to try and take a single, but decides against it.

  3. Dawid Malan
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Very good again from Dawson. It was sliding across Mishara but you have to say you would be disappointed to do that if you are a left-handed batter against the left-arm spinner.

    WICKET

    Mishara c & b Dawson 0 (SL 56-2)

    Two wickets in two balls!

    Kamil Mishara, who opened on Tuesday but swapped places with Lahiru Udara today, is dismissed off his first delivery.

    The left-handed punches the ball back to Liam Dawson, who now has the chance of a hat-trick bowling to visiting captain Charith Asalanka.

    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Good captaincy from Harry Brook to get the tallest fielder at mid-on or mid-off.

  6. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator

    Sri Lanka's very bright opening stand is brought to a halt.

  7. wicket

    WICKET

    Udara c Overton b Dawson 21 (SL 56-1)

    A breakthrough for England!

    Liam Dawson comes on for the final over of the powerplay and Lahiru Udara tries to launch the spinner over mid-on.

    He can't clear the towering presence of Jamie Overton, and the England fielder takes the catch with his bucket hands.

    That is not what Will Jacks would have wanted to see from his first over.

    Sri Lanka are giving England a taste of their own medicine.

  9. Dawid Malan
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    These two are taking down their match-ups.

  10. SL 55-0

    Expensive from Will Jacks - 17 from the over.

    The Sri Lanka openers both sweep fours from the off-spinner, with the first of those, struck by Pathum Nissanka, bringing up Sri Lanka's half-century from 27 balls.

  11. 6 runs

    SL 44-0

    Whack!

    Pathum Nissanka welcomes Will Jacks' opening delivery with a smashed six down the ground.

    The boundaries behind the bowlers are pretty short at Sophia Gardens - dangerous territory for the spinners.

  12. How's stat?!

    Just under 20% of England's pace on deliveries have been clocked over 90mph in T20Is this year, nearly double the rate of the next highest side (South Africa, 10%).

  13. SL 38-0

    England's highest-ranked T20 seamer, Peter?

    I will confess it's not a mind-blowing second over from Jofra Archer, with two more boundaries coming from it.

    Lahiru Udara gets rather lucky for the first of those, chopping a bottom edge past his stumps and seeing it run away to the ropes.

    The second is punched through mid-wicket - both openers are now on 17.

    Not convinced about Mr Archer in a T20 team...

    A very good start for Sri Lanka.

  16. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    It would have been an amazing catch had Donald got to it.

  17. SL 29-0

    Not a bad start for Sri Lanka.

    Lahiru Udara faces all of Sonny Baker's second over, and Sri Lanka pick up four via leg byes past the wicketkeeper and short fine leg.

    The visiting opener then adds two more fours off the bat at the end of the over, pulling through backward square and then carving aerially past Aneurin Donald at point.

  18. Dawid Malan
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I love that scoop option from Nissanka. The short boundary is behind the keeper so the scoop is always an option.

  19. Ioan Griffiths
    BBC Sport Wales reporter

    Sri Lanka certainly have plenty of support here at Sophia Gardens.

    Pathum Nissanka smashes two boundaries in a row and their fans are proudly waving their flag and making their voices heard.

  20. SL 17-0

    A third four in the over for Pathum Nissanka, dropping into a crouch to lap sweep Jofra Archer's final delivery through fine leg.

    Prior to that, Lahiru Udara got off the mark with a single to third.
