13.4 mistimed ot mid-off, Athapaththu scoops it up! SL finally separate the openers, and it's a first T20 World Cup wicket for Malki. Into the pitch, driven on the up but no timing from Jones. It was dying on Athapaththu but the SL skipper shows her team-mates how it's done, stooping low to gather in her fingertips 135/1

2.1 full, straight, Bell has England's first wicket of the World Cup! Well, she does for now, as Sri Lanka are reviewing, but this looks optimistic. It was a long conversation, and there's no bat before the ball thumps the knee-roll. That is smashing the middle of middle! 14/1

3.2 top edge, but what a stunning catch! Turn and bounce again from Dean, leaping off the top-edge from a middle-stump line as Athapaththu climbed across her slog sweep. Wyatt-Hodge turned at deep square, sprinted back, somehow kept her eye on the swirling ball despite being in a hopeless position, and clung on brilliantly, over her shoulder with a dive, and a late adjustment of the hands. Not dissimilar to Stokes' epic at the Oval in the men's opener in 2019! Making the best of a bad position! 22/2

5.4 an urgent wallop across the line, and a sharp take from Kemp! It was straight at her at short backward square, but she needed a good technique to cling on with a reverse-cup, right in front of her throat. Two excellent catches to set the tone for England's campaign 37/3

8.3 pace off, clean through her! Over the wicket, full length, angled into the left-hander. It all happened in slow-motion. Grips on off stump, and does Harshitha as she fumbles forward on the front foot 67/5

7.6 pinned by the offbreak! This is tight to off stump on impact, but it was heading inexorably towards middle! Back of a length, Hansima was shaping to sweep but got in a tangle on the length. Her bat was already through the shot by the time her knee intercepted it. A quick chat and she opts not to review 58/4

12.3 picks out deep square leg! Pace off and that brings about the downfall of Kavisha. Flicked firmly off the pads but Linsey Smith barely has to move, pouches it safely 92/6

19.2 slogged down the throat of long-on! Safely held by Capsey in off the rope, and SL are nine down. Nilakshika looks distraught as she heads off, but she's shown a bit of ticker for her side 131/9

12.5 zips through, bails light up! Top of off from Kemp and she has a third of the night. Perfect length and Kaushini was caught on the crease swishing across the line, only to lose her castle 92/7

12.6 bowled first ball! Fired full into the pads and it deflects into the timbers! SL threatening to go down in a heap here. Kemp has a fourth and will be on a hat-trick at the start of her next over 92/8

19.6 slides on past the edge, Jones goes up! Not given but England review for caught behind - and there's a clear spike on UltraEdge! Umpire Eloise Sheridan has to overturn her not out, and England complete a thumping 87-run win to get their World Cup off to the perfect start 132/10
