England suffered a shock defeat to Sri Lanka in the Cricket World Cup at Headingley.
Eoin Morgan's men were on a high after a blistering innings from the skipper himself powered them to a 150-run win over Afghanistan at Old Trafford on Tuesday. But they came crashing down to earth at Headingley as Lasith Malinga shredded their top order on the way to a famous win.
Here's how it played out:
Good morning and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of England vs Sri Lanka in the Cricket World Cup.
The news from Headingley this morning is that Sri Lankan captain Dimuth Karunaratne won the toss and decided to BAT first.
Eoin Morgan admits afterwards that he would've also chosen to bat on what looks a decent batting wicket...

IT'S SUNNY and we're all ready to get underway here in Leeds!
It'll be Chris Woakes to bowl the first over...
SRI LANKA - 0-0 (0.3 overs)
Very solid start from Woakes.
His first ball nips in and almost catches Karunaratne's bat, before nipping the pad high and going through to Buttler.
Two more dot balls follow.
SRI LANKA - 2-0 (1 over)
Karunaratne gets off the mark with a quick single to leg side, and Perera follows suit on his first ball.
The skipper leaves the final ball - two from the first over.
No surprise to see Jofra Archer bowling the second over...
SRI LANKA 3-0 (1.3 overs)
3rd umpire involved early!
After two dot balls, Perera takes a risky single and a direct hit means the square-leg umpire goes upstairs.
One replay shows that Karunaratne is comfortably in his crease. Not out.
WICKET! Sri Lanka 3-1: Karunaratne, c Buttler b Archer, 1
An early breakthrough for England!
On the final ball of his over, Archer finds the perfect line and the ball just flicks off Karunaratne's outside edge - a comfortable catch for Buttler behind.
Sri Lanka under pressure straight away.
WICKET! Sri Lanka 3-2: Perera, c Ali b Woakes, 2
And on ball two of over 3, England get their second wicket!!
A bizarre shot from Kusal Perera - he chases a wide ball and it spoons over the slips and straight to third man Moeen Ali, who makes a simple enough catch!
What a start for England!
Sri Lanka: 4-2 (3 overs)
Avishka Fernando gets off the mark with a single down to third man, and Kusal Mendis fends off a straight ball to finish off the over.
1 run, 1 wicket in that over - Sri Lanka need to weather this early storm...
Sri Lanka: 4-2 (4 overs)
A maiden for Jofra Archer, as Fernando opts not to take what would've been a risky single on the final ball.
Archer finding his line very early here.
Now this is very, very cool...
Sri Lanka: 10-2 (5 overs)
Quick single down to fine leg from Mendis puts Fernando on strike straight away.
The Sri Lankan number three gets two with a front foot drive which was half-stopped by Archer at mid-on, and then does exactly the same shot down the pitch on the off-side, another 2.
A quick single on the penultimate ball of the over pushes Fernando up to six runs, and the Sri Lankans are into double figures.
Sri Lanka: 14-2 (5.3 overs)
Sri Lanka have their first boundary of the day!
On ball two, Fernando on his back foot cracks a cover drive powerfully to the boundary.
Sri Lanka: 24-2 (6 overs)
And we have our first six of the match!
On his back foot again, Fernando pulls a short ball over fine leg and into the stands!
He then nails another cover drive to the boundary to finish off the over, 14 from it! Archer won't be happy with that.
And suddenly, Fernando has 20 runs to his name..
Sri Lanka: 26-2 (6.3 overs)
Mendis takes a quick single, but then the ball deceives Fernando and he edges it fortuitously down to third man.
Sri Lanka: 31-2 (7 overs)
There's a pattern forming here: Mendis single, Fernando boundary.
This time, Fernando hits an exquisite drive down the ground, past Archer at mid-on, for four.
