Dasun Shanka comes into the attack to bowl the 18th over. The second ball is a wide full toss which Buttler drives through the covers for a four before he gets two runs from the next ball to raise the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket from just 31 balls with his captain Morgan.

Buttler blasts the next ball straight down the ground for a huge six to bring up his fifty in grand style, from just 28 balls.

Another good over for England as Dasun concedes 15 in his first over.

England on a roll at the moment with 47 coming from the last three to take the score to 146 for three in 18 overs.

Chameera starts off the 19th over with a wide. The next ball is short and wide as Buttler hammers it through point for a four to take England past the 150-run mark.

He clubs the next ball over long-on for a six as Chameera is guilty of bowling a length delivery to a well set Buttler, who is going for everything now.

Two singles before Buttler smashes it straight back at the bowler, who is struck on his arm and manages to save some runs.

Chameera gives away 15 runs in his final over to finish with 36 runs from four overs.
