10pm: Well, that was an innings of one quarter and, er, three other quarters. From 55 for 0 after five overs, Sri Lanka managed to cobble together 95 from the subsequent 16. Only Niroshan Dickwella and Dasun Shanaka managed anything approaching a T20 strike rate, and the innings petered out, with almost as many wickets as runs coming from Tom Curran's final over. England would probably have fancied chasing 151 at the start, but remember this is their ODI batting line-up (including Joe Root), rather than a T20 one. Can Lasith Malinga produce some magic, or are SL heading 2-0 down in the series? Find out with Miller in 10

Curran to Aponso, OUT, finishes with a back-of-the-hand slowie, another unsuccessful swipe from Aponso... Buttler misses with an underarm at the stumps, as Malinga charges down, but Curran grabs it and hits at the non-striker's end to effect the run-out! Excellent final over from Curran, just three runs conceded

MA Aponso run out 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Curran to Aponso, no run, slower ball outside off, swing and a miss

Amila Aponso in, two balls to go

Curran to Chandimal, OUT, gone, scooped awkwardly to short fine leg! Chandimal picks himself up, dusts himself off and walks from the field, the latest to be done by Curran's slower ball. A slightly bedraggled knock, on a very bedraggled day, but Sri Lanka do at least have a chance

Curran to Chandimal, no run, full and straight, pace on and Chandimal can't get under it, fielded in his follow through

"Chandi has got a quarter of the runs at basically a run a ball...not sure what the issue is really," observes Dave. "Take him out of this lineup and they're 100 all out and don't bat out their overs..."
