FOUR! Malki Madara to Danni Wyatt-Hodge. Leg cutter length ball, wide outside off stump deep in crease driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs. England have made a flying start to their World Cup, posting a commanding 219 for 1. Danni Wyatt-Hodge starred with her third T20I century, after sharing a dominant opening stand with Amy Jones, who contributed a fluent 53. Natalie Sciver-Brunt then provided the late flourish with an unbeaten 46. Sri Lanka showed discipline in patches but were hurt by several costly dropped catches that allowed England to build a potentially match-winning total. Malki Madara claimed the only wicket. Sri Lanka now face a daunting chase as they look to pull off a memorable upset. Join us in a few minutes.
