UPDATE - 10.30 am GMT - Uh, oh! The rain has descended from the clouds and well, it was always on the cards. The umpires and the players rush off the field and the covers come on. It is very dark and it has started to really pour in but lets hope that the rain passes soon. Stay tuned for further updates.

Tossed up, full and on off, Young eases the drive to long off for a single.
This is fired in a bit and outside off, Nicholls blocks it off. 11 off the over!
FOUR! Oh, that is poor fielding from Dilshan Madushanka. Tossed up on the pads, Henry Nicholls goes down to sweep and does so a bit aerially and well behind square leg. The ball goes on the bounce to deep backward square leg but Madushanka gets completely bamboozled by the spin.

Pushed through quicker around off, Young rocks back and cuts it almost too late but gets it past backward point for a single.
Nicely played and Will Young brings up a 9th ODI FIFTY! Flatter delivery around off, Young backs away well and punches it square through cover-point for a couple of runs. He will now eye a big one from here.
Tossed up, quite full and around off, driven straight back to the bowler.
