#1
Sri Lanka's grueling tour of England comes to an end with a one-off T20. Sri Lanka win the toss and elect to bat.

England going with a very experimental lineup. Buttler to open, the two Hampshire boys - Vince and Dawson get the nod - and the exciting Tymal Mills will make his T20I debut.

#2
Perera beaten for pace. Plunkett gets an early wicket. 17/1 after 3.

#3
Sri Lanka running like mad men between the wickets. Jordan continues to be woeful. He is so inconsistent with an inability to bowl the same ball twice and stick to back of a length. He would never get a look in if I were a selector. Maddening to watch him bowl.

Sri Lanka 51/1 after 6.

#4
Dawson into the attack and picks up a wicket straight away much to the delight of his home crowd. 59/2 after 7.

#5
Dawson with two in two as Mendis chips one straight back to him for a simple caught and bowled.

74/3 after 8.5 overs.

#6
Mathews goes for an almighty heave and misses a straight one. Dawson with 3 wickets on debut. Good this from Dawson and Rashid.

81/4 after 10.3.

#7
It's all going on. Shanaka run out first ball trying to stretch a single into two.

82/5 after 10.4.

#8
Sri Lanka's poor running between the wickets continues. Vince hits the stumps and Rambuckwella is well short of the crease.

106/6 after 14.2.

#9
Plunkett finds an edge and Prasanna goes for 1. 122/7 after 15.5.

#10
Wickets continue to fall. Chandimal departs. More concerning for England is Morgan running straight off the field after taking the catch. A possible dislocated finger?

128/8 after 17.2.
