3.3 OUT! TIMBER! Another one bites the dust! Sam Curran is bowling like a dream here. Sri Lanka are in tatters here. This is not the first time in this series that Sri Lanka are in trouble. Full on off, swinging in sharpy. Nissanka looks to drive it off the front foot but misses and it hits the timber behind. Superb stuff. 12/3

1.2 OUT! LBW! All reds it is and Kusal Perera goes for a duck, taking the review with him. Sam Curran strikes in his first over and Sri Lanka are off to a poor start yet again. Good length ball on middle, Perera looks to defend but gets hit on the pads. An appeal is made for LBW and the finger has gone up. Perera consults his partner and takes the review but in vain as the Ball Tracker shows all reds. 4/1

6.5 OUT! TAKEN! David Willey can barely believe it! Pitches a short ball on middle, Charith Asalanka is tempted to clear the infield. He pulls it but mistimes it completely. It lands straight into the hands of George Garton at square leg. He gets his first touch in the game coming on as a substitute fielder. Sri Lanka in complete disarray here. They have lost four wickets in seven overs. 21/4

17.1 OUT! TAKEN! Chamika Karunaratne gets rid of the big fish! Short ball on middle, Jason Roy looks to pull it over mid-wicket for another boundary. But Dhananjaya de Silva had other plans. He at mid-wicket leaps and pulls off a blinder. Only a splendid catch like that could have stopped Jason Roy. De Silva cannot do anything wrong today. He deserves all the praise. Roy departs after giving England an aggressive start. 104/2
