- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 gives her the charge and nicks to slip! Beaumont was spooked by that beauty of a first ball, wanted to take her down but this one swung from a tight line again, got a fat deflection and a sharp take at slip. Now then 5/124.1 no century for Bouchier! What a shame, but what a mighty innings! Right up to the toes, playing across the line, thumps her pad as she topples into the stroke. Could have been stumped as well had the keeper gathered, but up went the finger to end an extraordinary stand 211/34.1 bowled her! The inswinger does the job again! Capsey should have been forward, but hung back on the crease, the ball nips off the seam after bending back in and splatters her stumps! England in some bother... and no spin in sight yet... 18/225.5 holes out this time! Straight down the throat of long-off, and England's captain, on her 100th ODI appearance, leaves the scene! 233/427.3 down the track, but doesn't connect properly! A fifth wicket falls, Jones looking to inject some humpty but slices into the hands of long-off, much like Sciver-Brunt before her 242/529.4 full toss, thumped across the line, but doesn't have the legs! Right option, not quite enough power. Holes out to the deep after a lively cameo on debut 264/728.5 dipping on the full length, they scurry back for two to midwicket... but there's a fine throw and a smart take... ADR could be struggling. Indeed she's a foot short! 257/630.6 steps down the pitch to create a full toss, clipped to long-on, Glenn rushes back for a non-existent second, as well she might.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.5 tossed up, Athapaththu sweeps and is struck in front - given! This looks pretty adjacent but the SL captain reviews, as she probably has to, given her importance to the team. But the ball had straightened down the line and would have smashed into middle stump, according to Hawk-Eye! Dean gets Athapaththu in her first over for the second game running and England are stomping their size 8s all over this one 46/44.1 bowled 'er! Filer spears one into Sanjeewani's pads and is rewarded with a big deflection that flattens middle. Full and fast does the trick, England have their first 17/15.2 full, inviting the drive, and pocketed at first slip! Gaur gets in on the act via a smart low catch from Davidson-Richards. Plenty of swing her for the big left-armer, and Harshitha's drive just catches the outside edge 19/26.2 hammers a length, Dulani is castled! Loose shot, making room as the delivery arrowed in at her. In the end there was an enormous gap for the ball to thunder into the top of middle and leg stumps 24/314.3 nicked behind! Dean goes bang-bang in the over. Rips the offbreak and it draws Hasini into pushing away from her body for a fateful mirco-second, enough to tickle the outside edge before the ball nestles in Jones' gloves 82/614.1 flight and dip, dinked back to the bowler! Karunaratne can't get out to the pitch and throws her head back as she pops it straight back off the face, Dean completing the dismissal with a leap to her right to pouch the catch 81/514.5 bowled her, offspinner's dream! Dean has three in five balls, ragging one back through the gate to hit off stump! Lovely flight and drop, spinning inside Dilhari's drive. SL unravelling fast here 83/719.1 fully and loopy, Ranasinghe attempts an ambitious reverse-sweep and is trapped in front! Given straight away by Anna Harris, but she will review. No bat on it, Glenn doesn't turn the ball much and ball-tracking says it would have smacked into the top of leg stump with the angle from round the wicket! Glenn gets amongst 'em and this is almost fully cooked 91/918.3 dragged on, Dean has five! Too tight for the cut shot as Prabodhani goes back and throws the hands. The ball cannons off the bottom edge and into the stumps, possible via her back leg. Maiden ODI five-wicket haul for Dean, and England are just two wickets away 91/824.5 bowled her, that's a bingo! Filer goes round the wicket and finds her range, bursting one through the defences of Kulasuriya. Middle and off stump splatted, Filer ends her first summer as an England player in fine style 112/10Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL112 all out (24.5 Overs, RR: 4.51)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Anushka Sanjeewani, 4.1 ov), 2-19 (Harshitha Samarawickrama, 5.2 ov), 3-24 (Imesha Dulani, 6.2 ov), 4-46 (Chamari Athapaththu, 8.5 ov), 5-81 (Hansima Karunaratne, 14.1 ov), 6-82 (Hasini Perera, 14.3 ov), 7-83 (Kavisha Dilhari, 14.5 ov), 8-91 (Udeshika Prabodhani, 18.3 ov), 9-91 (Oshadi Ranasinghe, 19.1 ov), 10-112 (Achini Kulasuriya, 24.5 ov)
