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

Prabodhani to Bell, 1 run, full from round the wicket, decent yorker and Bell digs it out for one into the covers

Meaning Lauren Bell has to head out for the final ball

Prabodhani to Nat Sciver-Brunt, OUT, full toss... and NSB holes out! A gimme from the penultimate ball of the innings, but she didn't quite time it. Juggling catch from the fielder at long-on. They are checking for a no-ball on height, but looks fine from side on. Still, a fabulous innings from Sciver-Brunt. She walks off to applause from around the ground, having done the lion's share for the Three Lions here

Prabodhani to Nat Sciver-Brunt, FOUR, misses the yorker, gets splatted! No foot movement, just keeps the head still and biffs through the line to long-off
