Jofra Archer to Asalanka, 1 run, Archer on his haunches as the catch goes down! Slower one angled into the body, Asalanka pulls in the air and it should've been taken at deep backward square. Banton misjudges it and down it goes

Jofra Archer to Asalanka, leg byes, 1 run, angling down leg from round the wicket, clips the thigh pad and runs down to fine leg.

Sam Curran to Asalanka, 1 run, 131kph, low full toss at the stumps, Asalanka whips it through midwicket, only a single

Sam Curran to Asalanka, FOUR, anticipates the yorker and scoops it over the keeper's head. Asalanka finding some rhythm here. Full and tailing in on middle, he reads the play well and gets it over the keeper

Dawson to Asalanka, 1 run, Curran nearly ran right past it. Short and wide, he cuts to backward point and Curran is almost undone by the spin on the outfield. Does well to recover but has hurt his finger

Dawson to Asalanka, 1 run, steps out, gets a quick full toss and drives to long-on

Jofra Archer to Asalanka, 1 run, cracking yorker to finish the over, it's bang on middle stump and Asalanka does well to squeeze it out

Jofra Archer to Asalanka, FOUR, nice deft touch. Another slower one outside off, this time he opens the face and runs it past short third. Archer left frustrated

Jofra Archer to Asalanka, FOUR, sensational effort from Salt and he almost pulled it off! Slower one outside off, width on offer and Asalanka slaps it in the air. Salt charges across to his right before reaching out with both hands. Was at full tilt so couldn't hold on

Jofra Archer to Asalanka, FOUR, another one in the slot for Asalanka and this time he cashes in. Hasn't been in great form of late and needs some runs. It's full outside off, he goes hard and slaps it in the gap through extra cover. Mid-off was in the ring

Jofra Archer to Asalanka, 1 run, full outside off at 137kph, it's in the slot and Asalanka wants to launch it down the ground. Ends up dragging it off the inside half through midwicket

Adil Rashid to Asalanka, 1 run, direct hit might've been close! Slow outside off, turning in, Asalanka gently cuts to backward point and they go for a tight single. Rathnayake had to put in a desperate dive as the throw came in from Curran

Adil Rashid to Asalanka, no run, googly floated up on middle and leg, Asalanka knocks it down the pitch

Adil Rashid to Asalanka, 1 run, dances down and then has to adjust as the ball is tossed up outside leg. Knocks it through midwicket

Adil Rashid to Asalanka, no run, England review for LBW! This seems to be close. Tossed up from over the wicket, pitches just outside off and turns in. Asalanka is hit on the hand going for the sweep and the impact is in front of off stump. Let's see what ball-tracking has to say. Oh wait, there's a spike on UltraEdge so ball-tracking won't be needed. Both reviews lost!

Will Jacks to Asalanka, 1 run, steers it from the crease into the point region

Will Jacks to Asalanka, 1 run, looks to sweep and drags it off the under-edge to short fine

Will Jacks to Asalanka, no run, that has turned square! Round the wicket, pitches on a good length outside leg and rags past the outside edge in defence. Asalanka is struck on the back leg and there's an appeal. Turned down by the ump

Adil Rashid to Asalanka, leg byes, 1 run, very slow through the air as he tosses it up on leg stump, it turns in and hits the pad. They go through for the leg-bye
