6.42pm: That's a solid effort from England, despite Sri Lanka fighting hard with the ball. Nat Sciver-Brunt's 10th ODI hundred could not have been better-timed - in both respects - as she established the platform for her side and then helped finish it off at the end. Here's a word with Tammy Beaumont at halfway: "Conditions changed. The new ball skidded on, wasn't spinning as much, then around 25-30 overs the pitch changed and started to offer that spin. The way Nat navigated that was important. The way she adapted, she started aggressively and then stayed composed. Shows how good she is and how lucky we are. Spoke about being gritty and getting stuck in. Conditions were better than we expected in the first 10. Disappointed with how Amy [Jones] got out [run out] and then not to go on a bit more myself." Sri Lanka, of course, pulled off a famous chase against England at the 2013 World Cup. Can they do it again? Join Madushka shortly to see how they go
Surath: "Makes you think 'what if that catch was taken when NSB was on 3'!" Indeed. Catches give you a better chance of winning matches, as the saying doesn't quite go
Meaning Lauren Bell has to head out for the final ball
