    Baker went wide of the crease and angled it in. Mishara just planted his foot and swung the bat, almost hoping he'd make contact. It's not looking good for Sri Lanka.

    WICKET

    Mishara b Baker 10 (SL 31-2)

    Bowled him!

  3. SL 31-1

    Josh Tongue finishes the over with a couple of dot balls to Lahiru Udara.

    SL 31-1

    Skied by Kamil Mishara!

    The ball drops rapidly behind Will Jacks at backward square, who tries to stagger back and take the catch and sees the ball drop through his hands - he wasn't at all balanced there.

    Mishara takes a single to move to 10.

    Lahiru Udara is pretty instinctive and has earned his chance in the team through his domestic performances. Even in red-ball cricket he scores quickly.

  6. SL 29-1

    Ooof, half-volley from Josh Tongue and Lahiru Udara slaps that away through the covers for four.

  7. SL 25-1

    Target 255

    Lahiru Udara comes in a three and immediately gets off the mark with a single to mid-on.

    Kamil Mishara then adds his first boundary, sweeping Will Jacks through backward square.

    That was not a wicket-taking delivery. He's tried to take mid-on and got it high on the bat, no timing from Pathum Nissanka.

    WICKET

    Nissanka c Overton b Jacks 12 (SL 20-1)

    Pathum Nissanka picks out Jamie Overton!

    Having taken a couple of twos out to the leg side boundary, the Sri Lanka opener tries to lift Will Jacks over mid-on.

    It's Jamie Overton stationed out there and the tall seamer pedals back to take the catch.

  10. Get Involved

    Showing my age but there’s a lot of Darren Gough in Sonny Baker, from the skiddy nature to the pace, not to mention the enthusiasm. Definitely fun to watch.

  11. SL 15-0

    Target 255

    Sonny Baker responds to Pathum Nissanka's six by beating the bat of the Sri Lanka opener.

    The visiting batters exchange a couple of singles to end the over.

    We're going to get a first sight of spin in this innings with Will Jacks coming on to bowl.

    Nissanka saw that one well. It's not been an explosive start but that will help his confidence.

  13. 6 runs

    SL 13-0

    Having returned to the strike via another leg-bye, Pathum Nissanka ends Sonny Baker's run of eight deliveries without a run off the bat.

    He dispatches the ball into the crowd at mid-wicket for six with a shot off the hips - the first boundary of the innings.

  14. Sri Lanka's task is huge.

    Mishara is a very good player. When he gets going, he's good to watch. He's strong through the off side and likes to carve any width.

  16. SL 6-0

    Target 255

    Josh Tongue, Baker's team-mate at Hundred champions Manchester Super Giants, starts with a wide down the leg side.

    Pathum Nissanka gets off strike again with a single to gully, before the left-handed Kamil Mishara mis-times a shot down to long-on for two to get off the mark as well.

  17. 'You're a freak, Harry'

    This is what Ben Stokes has had to say about that Harry Brook innings on Instagram.

    "I don’t even think the genius of KP could come close to what Harry Brook has talent-wise.

    "Is it really that hard to just sit back and admire these players for what they are, on the good days and the bad days, and stop berating them for doing things that we would never, ever, ever even think of doing because we simply aren’t on their level to think that way?

    "You are an absolute freak, Harry. You’re mint to watch."

  18. SL 1-0

    Pathum Nissanka gets off strike by taking a leg bye ball square for a single.

    Sonny Baker finishes the over, a maiden, by twice beating the bat of Kamil Mishara.

    One run from the over, Sri Lanka's required run-rate moves from 12.75 an over to 13.36.

  19. SL 0-0

    Sonny Baker, playing in his second T20 international after a debut against Ireland last September, takes the first over at his home ground.

    His first three deliveries are dot balls, bowled above 90mph, that hurry Pathum Nissanka.

  20. Thanks Matthew.

    England's players have just broken out of a huddle and are making their way to the middle.

    Alongside them are Pathum Nissanka and Kamil Mishara, who will open up for Sri Lanka.
