- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 full inswinger, Swanjeewani castled! Lovely shape from over the wicket, curling back inside the bat as Sanjeewani is tempted into a big drive, the ball crashing into middle stump. Two in as many overs from England's beanpole™ debutant 26/24.6 bowled by a jaffa, Athapaththu gone! Angled in and then curling away to smash the top of off stump! Perfect length and plenty of movement, SL's captain is completely undone as she looks to defend from the crease. Wicket on ODI debut for Gaur, and what a player to pocket 22/122.3 Fired full, down the leg side, brilliantly taken by Amy Jones who immediately goes up for a caught behind! Umpire James Middlebrook says not out and Knight is convinced by the keeper to send this upstairs... But Ultra Edge finds a spike! Excellent review and a defiant knock from Samarawickrama comes to an end 95/710.5 trapped on the back foot, given! Over the wicket and right on target from Glenn, no real turn but the batter was deep in the crease and playing across the line. Up goes James Middlebrook's finger and off Gunaratne troops. Hitting middle according to Hawk-Eye 40/315.3 Pace does it! Perera gloves down the leg side as Filer brings back her length considerably, extracts that extra bounce and the left-hander is snared! 61/419.3 Edged and taken! Probably not her best delivery, short, outside off, but that extra bounce and a bit of nip in off the surface coaxes a twitch from Dilhari. Jones takes a regulation catch to her right 78/519.4 AND ANOTHER! Filer is on a hat-trick! Ditto of the delivery before, a little straighter. Nilakshi started leg side and couldn't play this with any real conviction, snicking through to Jones 78/625.3 Gone! Good length, turn off the deck, and Glenn has another as an attempted cut finds the gloves of Jones once more 100/827.5 Glenn's got three! Kulasuriya was living a charmed life, and there's plenty of space between bat and pad to exploit. Glenn does just that, getting one to grip off a good length to rattle the stumps 101/930.2 That's all she wrote! Full, nipping in, through the gate, lighting up the stumps! A brilliant ODI debut for Mahika Guar as she finishes with 3 for 26 and Sri Lanka are dismissed for 106! A very good response from England's attack - along with fellow debutant Lauren Filer with her own three-fer - after defeat in those previous two T20Is. 106/10Extras14 (w 14)TOTAL106 all out (30.2 Overs, RR: 3.49)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Chamari Athapaththu, 4.6 ov), 2-26 (Anushka Sanjeewani, 6.4 ov), 3-40 (Vishmi Gunaratne, 10.5 ov), 4-61 (Hasini Perera, 15.3 ov), 5-78 (Kavisha Dilhari, 19.3 ov), 6-78 (Nilakshika Silva, 19.4 ov), 7-95 (Harshitha Samarawickrama, 22.3 ov), 8-100 (Oshadi Ranasinghe, 25.3 ov), 9-101 (Achini Kulasuriya, 27.5 ov), 10-106 (Udeshika Prabodhani, 30.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR13.1 charges down, skies her shot to mid-off! Came off the toe of the bat and presented a simple catch to the backpedalling Nilakshi de Silva. Lamb looked pretty secure but can't see the job through. Ranasinghe strikes, SL chip out another 73/210.1 finds some grip, takes the edge - and well held! Ranaweera strikes with her first ball to end England's opening stand. Tossed up from round the wicket and Beaumont went hard at a cut as the ball spun away, went quickly off the edge but was scooped up on the dive by Hasini 61/116.6 Gone! Well then... it looked like another wide down leg, but Knight opts to sweep for free runs and ends up gloving a loopy catch to the keeper 99/3Extras7 (b 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL107/3 (18 Overs, RR: 5.94)Fall of wickets: 1-61 (Tammy Beaumont, 10.1 ov), 2-73 (Emma Lamb, 13.1 ov), 3-99 (Heather Knight, 16.6 ov)
