- SL 15-4 (3 ovs) vs Eng 171-4 | SCORECARD

Sri Lanka in dire straits as Chris Jordan also strikes in first over. This time it is the other opener, Dinesh Chandimal, who gets an edge and is caught behind by wicketkeeper Buttler for one.

Infact, Chandimal walked right across his stumps before steering it straight to wicketkeeper Buttler. He was perhaps undone by the extra bounce from Jordan.

Sri Lanka reeling on 4 for 2 in the second over with their two key batsmen back in the hut.

Lahiru Thirimanne gets off the mark with a single and Siriwardana takes one too as five runs come from the second over.

Thirimanne looks to flick Willey but is lucky that the ball fell short of a diving Adil Rashid at short fine leg.

Siriwardana gets the first boundary of Sri Lanka's innings as he clubs a length delivery from Jordan over midwicket for a six.

He looks to drive the next ball over the off-side but fails to get enough elevation and is caught in the covers for seven.

Sri Lanka are struggling with the bat as they lose three wickets in the first three overs.

And it gets worse as Thirimanne is run out off the final delivery of the over to leave Sri Lanka in tatters on 15 for four in three overs.

Angelo Mathews defended the first ball on the off-side as Thirimanne came down a long way for a single and was sent back but Stokes was agile to the situation as he swooped in from the covers and got a direct hit.
