- Eng 47-1 (7 ovs) vs SL | SCORECARD

Two overs for Herath with the new ball before he is taken off, perhaps to have another go in the middle overs.

Mathews comes back, with the wicketkeeper up to the stumps for the medium pacer.

Roy makes room and looks to smash it through the off-side but the lack of pace makes it difficult to get it away.

But Roy does not give up as he comes across and sweeps the next ball past short fine for a four and Root ends the over with another four as England start to lift the tempo.

Left-arm spinner Milinda Siriwardana comes into the attack. Two singles from the first two balls before Roy despatches a full toss straight back over the bowler's head for a six and keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

England have recovered well after a slow start to reach 47 for one in seven overs with Roy on 28 and Root on 17. They were eight for one in three overs, but have hit 39 from the last four overs.
