- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 short and wide, cut straight to cover! Wyatt shakes her head in disbelief. Freebie to start, slow and wide outside her off stump. Sits up invitingly, but Wyatt can only slice it to Perera 0/15.6 in the slot, chipped straight to long-on! Half-volley on the pads, Bouchier checks her drive as though mid-on is in the ring... but Dilhari is back near the rope, and takes a simple catch five yards off it! 41/31.6 swung out to deep backward square... two batters at the same end, it's a horror mix-up! Bouchier left her crease looking for the second, and Capsey reacted accordingly... but then looked up to see Bouchier had scrambled back into her ground, and had no interest in sacrificing her wicket by heading back down the other end! Throw came in to the bowler's end, and it was a simple relay from Prabodhani to Sanjeewani, who had all the time in the world to whip the bails off 11/29.6 nailed on the pad reverse-sweeping, Sue Redfern raises the finger! Knight reviews. Flat offbreak, skids into the knee roll... is it sliding down? Jasmine Naeem wants to have a look at UltraEdge, which is taking an age to load... looks like a tiny bit of disturbance on Ultra just after it passes the bat to me, but umpire Naeem thinks otherwise. And ball-tracking has it smashing into middle-and-leg! 70/410.5 done in the flight! Jones is looking to drive through wide mid-off and drags her back foot out of her crease, and she can't get it back before Sanjeewani and her lightning-fast hands have removed the bails 72/511.4 swung down the ground... brilliant catch at long-on running round, and England are in real strife! Into the pitch, Kemp tries to hoick down the ground with her long levers, but de Silva charges in and round to her right and slides underneath it. Sri Lanka have been excellent 72/616.6 there's the death rattle! Prabodhani nails the yorker, angling it across Gibson who is looking to work down to long-on but can only inside-edge onto the base of the stumps 102/814.3 timber! Looks to chop away through the off side but it's too full to cut, and sneaks under the bat and into the stumps 91/718.5 Cross comes down, and keeps walking! Tossed up above the eyeline as Cross wanders out of her crease, looking to swing hard over midwicket. Straightforward stumping for Sanjeewani 116/918.6 full and straight, pinned on the pad! There's a review left, so Gaur duly obliges. Drifting in, smashes into the manufacturer's logo on the bottom of the front pad, and it's crashing into middle stump, a third of the way up. England bowled out for just 116, and Sri Lanka have every chance of winning this series! 116/10Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL116 all out (19 Overs, RR: 6.1)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 0.1 ov), 2-11 (Alice Capsey, 1.6 ov), 3-41 (Maia Bouchier, 5.6 ov), 4-70 (Heather Knight, 9.6 ov), 5-72 (Amy Jones, 10.5 ov), 6-72 (Freya Kemp, 11.4 ov), 7-91 (Charlie Dean, 14.3 ov), 8-102 (Danielle Gibson, 16.6 ov), 9-116 (Kate Cross, 18.5 ov), 10-116 (Mahika Gaur, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.4 Now then... Capsey drags the length back, Chamari goes for the heave over midwicket but it's the longer side! Dean circles and takes a smart catch, dropping to her knees. Big, big wicket... 65/17.6 Sanjeewani goes! Tempter from Glenn, flight, just outside off stump, landing on a length that the right-hander looks to charge and flail over the top of mid off. Alas, not enough elevation and Capsey takes a simple catch at mid off 71/212.4 Attempted reverse... miss... LBW? We're about to find out. Given not out on the field by Sue Redfern, but Knight reviews straight away... No bat or glove on ultra edge, impact in line with middle and off, likewise the projected impact! Vital breakthrough from Glenn once more 94/3Extras10 (lb 3, w 7)TOTAL117/3 (17 Overs, RR: 6.88)Fall of wickets: 1-65 (Chamari Athapaththu, 6.4 ov), 2-71 (Anushka Sanjeewani, 7.6 ov), 3-94 (Vishmi Gunaratne, 12.4 ov)
