He'll need to do most of the batting - Dushan Hemantha averages just under 17 from his T20 career, mostly played in Sri Lankan domestic cricket.
Three more singles off the rest of the over.
Target 147
Oh, it just gets easier for Sri Lanka - here's Adil Rashid.
Three runs come from the spinner's first over - we're now halfway through the match, with the home side needing 9.10 runs an over from here.

It looks like Phil Salt must've been playing on a different wicket to everyone else.

New batter Dushan Hemantha takes a first-ball single into the leg side to get Dasun Shanaka back on strike, but he can't score off the last ball of Liam Dawson's over.
The Sri Lanka captain is his side's only hope now.

Sri Lanka are hitting boundaries and showing incredible intent but they have haemorrhaged wickets.
Now it's going to be tricky for Sri Lanka to take any kind of risk.
Kamindu Mendis c & b Dawson 13 (SL 52-6)
Six and out!
Kamindu Mendis brings up the Sri Lankan fifty by clearing the ropes over mid-wicket.
But Liam Dawson strikes back with his next delivery, taking the second caught and bowled of the innings, snaffling a leading edge after Mendis tried to turn the ball square.
Dasun Shanaka takes a single off the final ball of Will Jacks' spell, retaining the strike with a knock to mid-on.
Jacks finishes with figures of 3-22.
Will Jacks won't be able to equal his career-best T20 international figures of 3-14.
Dasun Shanaka doesn't score off the first three balls of the spinner's final over, but the Sri Lanka skipper crashes the fourth over mid-wicket for the first six of the innings, taking advantage of a big drag-down.

It's a cliche to say we don't know what a decent score is until both teams have batted, but it is constantly reinforced
Mike, Romania
As the old saying goes, never judge a pitch until both teams bat!
Jar, Solihull
Is it time to bring out the old adage of “don’t judge a score until both teams have batted” yet?
Tim, Amsterdam
The fielders go back and we have our first change of bowling - Liam Dawson comes on for Jofra Archer.
The Sri Lanka batters knock him around for three singles - their required run-rate has risen to 8.46 runs per over, from 7.35 at the start of the innings.
It was Will Jacks' powerplay - he finishes it with figures of 3-14 from his three overs.
Here's his back-to-back wickets in the fourth over.

This is the first time an England spinner has ever taken three wickets in the powerplay of a T20I
In comes Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka with his side floundering.
He doesn't score off his first delivery - that's the end of the powerplay.
We never doubted England, did we?
Image source, CricvizWellalage c Brook b Jacks 10 (SL 34-5)
There goes another one!
Dunith Wellalage goes to dump Will Jacks over mid-on, doesn't connect cleanly and drops the ball into the hands of Harry Brook.
A third wicket for Will Jacks, who's having a great time in the powerplay.
Two more fours to start Will Jacks' over.
Dunith Wellalage lashes the ball through backward point then sweeps fine, with the ball coming off the top of the bat.
A bit of pressure released.

What was everyone worried about?
Andy, Manchester
Kamindu Mendis scores four from his first delivery, edging through gully - but this time England had taken the fielder out.
Five runs off that Jofra Archer over.
