    KM: The Sri Lankan batting performance is very similar to last week with exception of Mathews. How different would everything be if he delayed his only meaningful innings so far by a week.

  2. He's got six balls left to maintain that record.

    Imran Tahir has never gone wicketless against Sri Lanka in an ODI before.

  4. SL 174-7

    Imran Tahir continues and Thisara Perera picks up a couple with an uppish pull through mid-wicket before picking up a single down to long-off.

    Just three off the over.

    I think this World Cup has been played in a really nice spirit.

    These two teams know each other well - they've played each other a lot in the last five years.

  7. SL 171-7

    Three singles and a wide keep the scoreboard ticking along.

    Sri Lanka need to just try and bat out the overs here and do all they can to muster a score together.

  8. Andile Phehlukwayo replaces Chris Morris for South Africa.

  9. It's a beautiful day for cricket in Durham.

  10. SL 167-7

    Four runs off Imran Tahir's eighth over. He's got figures of 0-30 now.

    What can Sri Lanka get to here? 210?

    John Dunthorne: Maybe Sri Lanka have acquired England’s qualifying “jitters”during last 7 days?

  12. JP Duminy is going to be replaced by Imran Tahir as we go into the final 10 overs.

    The part-timer did manage to get the wicket of Dhananjaya de Silva during his two-over spell.

  13. SL 163-7

    Isuru Udana is the new batsman but Thisara Perera faces the final ball of the over as they crossed during that wicket.

    He gets a bouncer from Chris Morris which he ducks.

  14. Mel Jones
    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Morris and Pretorius have teamed up well this morning. they had a little bear hug to celebrate. They've kept the pressure on. And once again, Sri Lanka have either gone big, and got out, or they've defended, and they've gone nowhere.

    WICKET

    Jeevan Mendis c Pretorious b Morris 18 (SL 163-7)

    Jeevan Mendis' bizarre innings is over.

    He was trying to catch-up and he attempts a big pull shot off Chris Morris but a top edge is well taken by Dwaine Pretorious at fine leg.

    Not sure what to make of that innings.

    Seb Poznansky: I distinctly remember Sri Lanka getting written off early on against England not one week ago, the pressure of chasing any total in tournament cricket should not be underestimated. Even 200 will be competitive.

  17. How's stat?!

    Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    There's been 23 runs from the past two overs.

  18. SL 159-6

    Bonus runs from Sri Lanka. A wide is missed by Quinton de Kock and an aging Hashim Amla can't prevent it reaching the boundary.

    A flick into the leg side then earns Thisara Perera three.

    Big over for Sri Lanka with 14 coming off it. The JP Duminy experiment might be over.

  19. SL 150-6

    Someone has flicked a switch in Jeevan Mendis.

    He takes a couple of steps down the track to JP Duminy and his lofted drive just clears Faf du Plessis at mid-on and it races away to the boundary.

  20. Nope, we still can't say it here in BBC Sport HQ.
