7.20pm: Two batting malfunctions in a row for England. Things started badly for them, Danni Wyatt falling to the first ball of the match, and no batter managed to hang around long enough to face 20 balls. A few cameos, but nothing much to write home about. A trademark spin strangle from Sri Lanka, with Sanjeewani excellent behind the stumps... Vish will be here shortly to talk you through the chase, with an historic series win on the cards.

Athapaththu to Gaur, OUT, 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!

Mahika Gaur walks in. Long levers, but not much of a batting record to speak of.

Athapaththu to Cross, OUT, 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

Athapaththu to Glenn, no run, struck on the pad sweeping, pinned in front! Glenn reviews, maybe optimistically. Very full, drifting in towards leg stump. Any bat on it? Nope, UltraEdge confirms nothing on it. It's angling down the leg side... and too sliding past the stumps! So far that the impact was outside the line of leg stump, in fact

Athapaththu to Glenn, 1 run, very slow outside off, no pace whatsoever to work with. Punched into the off side on the back foot

Kumari to Glenn, FOUR, dragged down, slashed past the diving short third fielder! No timing or conviction as it skews away off the outside edge, but England will take them however they come

Raji: "Few weeks back, ENG-W upset AUS-W.. Looks like ENG-W is going to be on other side today."

Kumari to Glenn, FOUR, cut away square! Glenn finally gets one away, picking the gap between cover and backward point

Kate Cross walks out at No. 10. England are in serious danger of being bowled out here.

Prabodhani to Gibson, OUT, 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
