Spot on: 
50 for Jos: 
How quickly has he changed gears? He is toying with the Lankan bowlers now! Gets to a half-century from 28 balls and still has a few more deliveries to cause more damage. Not good signs for Sri Lanka!
Morgan steps up: 
Is this finally his night? Morgan has had enough and decides to take on Thisara Perera. He manages to score 15 runs off his over and is looking in good touch with just four overs to go.
Vandersay strikes again: 
Jason Roy's unusual innings comes to an end! Vandersay traps him plumb in front as the batsman attempted to pull the ball. Skipper Eoin Morgan is in. England have 88 in 13 overs. So how many more can they add in these 7 overs? They will look to score at least 70.
Priorities: 
Root perishes: 
Sri Lanka have been keeping it tight and that forced Root to take on Vandersay. But he finds the fielder at deep midwicket to give the Lankans another breakthrough. But Jos Buttler has come out to bat now. He is the key.
Powerplay: 39 for 1
Roy and Root have steadied England after the early loss of Hales and Roy in particular, has looked comfortable against spin. He will look to open up now with so many big names waiting in the shed. Sri Lanka need another wicket.
Early wicket: 
The veteran Herath strikes for Sri Lanka! Alex Hales looked uncomfortable in his short stay and has been trapped in front. Exactly what Sri Lanka needed. Root is in at number 3.
