Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
England have just found ways to keep the pressure building. They have used the wicket and the big square boundaries. The spinners have missed short when they have had to.
Nicely done from Wanindu Hasaranga, using some width and bounce from Jofra Archer to lift the ball over the backward point fielder and pick up four.
He adds two more in the covers, with the Sri Lanka batters then exchanging singles to end the over.
Five and singles and a wide off Adil Rashid's second over.
Having reached 56-0 after 5.2 overs, Sri Lanka still haven't doubled that score.
Jamie Overton has taken 20 wickets in the middle overs in all T20s this year at an average of 19.4 with an economy of 7.68.
Out to Aneurin Donald again!
Charith Asalanka hacks the ball towards backward square and the England fielder runs forward for another catch attempt.
It wasn't on and the ball bounces past the diving fielder for four.
A further single sees Sri Lanka reach 100, while Jamie Overton finishes with figures of 2-23 having bowled four overs in a row.
Wanindu Hasaranga is the next batter in for Sri Lanka.
He fails to get off the mark from the last two balls of Liam Dawson's over.

Practice makes perfect.
Moments after dropping a difficult catch at deep mid-wicket, the Swansea boy then makes no mistake as Shanaka departs for four.
The crowd loved that one from the Welshman.

Shanaka is generally good using the long levers. Dawson has been bowling it away from him, not allowing him to do what he likes.
Shanaka c Donald b Dawson 4 (95-5)
Pouched this time!
A lot more air on this shot from Dasun Shanaka and Aneurin Donald has plenty of time to get under the ball from deep square leg and take the catch.
Donald takes the catch in the deep and Dawson has his third

BBC Test Match Special commentator
I think Donald slightly misjudged it. He thought it was coming to him but then realised it was dipping.
SL 93-4
That would have been pretty spectacular.
Dasun Shanaka hits Liam Dawson in the air out into the leg side.
Aneurin Donald runs in from the ropes at mid-wicket and dives forward to try and take the catch, but can't quite hold on.
Shanaka runs two to move to three.
Dasun Shanaka faces a wide for his first delivery, then gets off the mark with a single to mid-wicket.

Ex-Sri Lanka all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special
The ball just kept coming in on the angle. He would have seen the width but it kept following him. Sri Lanka are unable to build some momentum. The wickets keep falling.
England know they can just keep chipping away.
Mendis b Overton 12 (SL 89-4)
A second wicket for Jamie Overton as Kamindu Mendis chops onto his stumps!
The left-hander had just cut a wide-ish delivery from the seamer for four, but now departs having attempted a similar sort of shot.
Having reached 56 without loss, Sri Lanka have lost four wickets for 33 runs.
Overton gets one through and it crashes into the stumps
Nicely done from new batter Kamindu Mendis.
He reverse sweeps Adil Rashid, bowling his first over, for four behind the keeper.
A couple of twos follow down the ground, the first run sharply to beat the throw to Jos Buttler.

You could see that coming. The help needs to come from the other end with the run-rate dropping.
Nissanka c Brook b Overton 37 (SL 75-3)
Another catch at mid-on!
Sri Lanka were only able to score five singles from the opening five balls of Jamie Overton's over - was that a bit of scoreboard pressure?
Either way, he mis-times a pull straight to Harry Brook, who takes a simple catch.
An 'important wicket' for England as Nissanka goes for 37
Russel Arnold
Ex-Sri Lanka all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special
Asalanka has got to take control of this partnership. Nissanka can anchor and still score at a good rate.
Sri Lanka's scoring rate of 7.23 when facing spin is the lowest for any full member side in T20s this year.
Liam Dawson's first four deliveries go for singles before Charith Asalanka makes some room and cuts a four through cover point.
Back to a single for the final ball of the over.
