c Joe Root b Chris Woakes
6.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Oh, dear! A moment that Nishan Madushka will be thinking about on his way back but for now, England have got rid of both the Lankan openers and pretty cheaply as well. Chris Woakes dishes out a full and wide ball, swinging it away as well, Madushka extends his arms and looks for the expansive drive but doesn't quite get to the pitch of the ball and the outside edge is found. The ball travels quickly to first slip where Joe Root pouches it around his stomach and Sri Lanka in early trouble here. 6/2

Dimuth Karunaratne | 2 | 18 | 0 | 0 | 11.11 |
c Jamie Smith b Gus Atkinson
5.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Gus Atkinson draws first blood for England and Dimuth Karunaratne is a goner! A short ball out of nowhere by Atkinson, dug in over off stump and just angling across, Karunaratne's eyes light up as he looks to take it on but gets rushed and a feather of an outside edge is found. The ball goes through quickly to the keeper and Jamie Smith makes no mistake. A bit more of an edge and that would have flown over the keeper and the slip cordon, Sri Lanka 6/1! 6/1

Kusal Mendis | 24 | 34 | 4 | 0 | 70.58 |
c Harry Brook b Mark Wood
15.1 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Mark Wood comes from over the wicket yet again and bangs a short delivery on off. The ball rips the dust and shoots off the deck at almost 149 kph. Mendis hops back a bit and tries to keep it out with a high bat but the ball catches his right thumb and loops towards the front of the second slip fielder. Harry Brook, makes no mistakes and takes that sitter into his hands. Kusal Mendis has to depart for 24 runs off 34 deliveries and that really was a nasty one to get. 40/4

Angelo Mathews | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
lbw b Chris Woakes
7 OUT! LBW! Oh, wow! Angelo Mathews has just shouldered arms at a delivery that jagged back in a long way and gets pinged on the pads. A huge appeal and up goes the finger but Mathews does review it. The only thing that can save him here is height as it looked pretty straight. Chris Woakes bowls this one on a fullish length and wide of the off stump, Mathews sees the line and looks to leave it alone but it is the big inswinger and the ball just jags back in sharply. The ball crashes into the pads, and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. Mathews has to walk back and it will be a double-wicket maiden for Woakes. 6/3

Dinesh Chandimal Wk | 17 | 40 | 2 | 0 | 42.50 |
lbw b Shoaib Bashir
22.3 OUT! LBW! Oh dear that one stayed pretty low and there was not much Chandimal could do about it. A huge shout for LBW and the umpire raises his finger! Dinesh Chandimal has a chat with his partner and opts for a review at the very last second. Shoaib Bashir comes from over the wicket and bowls much fuller on off. Dinesh Chandimal hangs back and looks to tuck it on the leg side but the ball stays very low and scoots under his bat to thump his back pad. The replays roll back on and the UltraEdge shows no bat involvement and the Ball Tracking turns up to be three reds. Sri Lanka now lose half their side and are in all sorts of trouble at 72/5! 72/5

Dhananjaya de Silva C | 74 | 84 | 8 | 0 | 88.09 |
c Dan Lawrence b Shoaib Bashir
50.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Uh, oh! Dhananjaya de Silva has fallen into the trap and will be so disappointed after putting in such hard work. Shoaib Bashir bowls with a leg slip in place and pushes it through a bit quicker, sliding it onto the pads, DDS gets on the back foot but leg glances with any care and ends up just nurdling the ball into the hands of leg slip. Dan Lawrence makes no error and a fine knock from Dhananjaya de Silva 74 (84) comes to and end. 176/8

Kamindu Mendis | 12 | 25 | 1 | 0 | 48 |
c Jamie Smith b Chris Woakes
29 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Chris Woakes follows up with a nice delivery and gets the better of Kamindu Mendis! Switches the angle and comes from around the wicket to the left-hander. Hurls it on a nagging length and just around off with a hint of away movement. Kamindu Mendis is drawn onto the shot and only manages to get an outside edge that goes straight past into the mitts of Jamie Smith behind the stumps. 92/6

Prabath Jayasuriya | 10 | 20 | 1 | 0 | 50 |
c Jamie Smith b Gus Atkinson
34 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Exceptional bowling from Gus Atkinson, who doesn't need any assistance from the umpire on this as he sends Prabath Jayasuriya walking back for the second time. A well-deserved wicket! Bowls it fuller this time and surprises Jayasuriya who wasn't expecting the length to be full. Lands it just outside off and Prabath Jayasuriya just looks to fend it out away from his body. Gets an outside edge straight to the keeper Jamie Smith who collects it well to his right. Sri Lanka slip further down and are now 113/7! 113/7

Milan Rathnayake | 72 | 135 | 6 | 2 | 53.33 |
c Chris Woakes b Shoaib Bashir
70.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Persistence pays off for England as they finally break through and claim the wicket they were after! Milan Rathnayake's gritty knock of 72 runs comes to an end, and he walks off to a standing ovation from his teammates and the crowd. Bashir loops it full and on middle and leg, Milan Rathnayake looked for the big swing over mid on but mistimes this one. Hits it off the cue end and straight to Chris Woakes at mid on. Sri Lanka are now 226/9! 226/9

Vishwa Fernando | 13 | 62 | 2 | 0 | 20.96 |
run out (Ollie Pope / Jamie Smith)
74 OUT! RUN OUT! A mixup against the run of play and Sri Lanka get bundled out for 236 runs. Joe Root bowls it nice and full on the stumps, Vishwa Fernando tucks it in front of Ollie Pope at mid-wicket before setting off for a quick single. Asitha Fernando sends him back, leaving Vishwa stranded halfway down the track. Pope quickly collects the ball and throws it to keeper Jamie Smith, who swiftly knocks the bails off. Despite a desperate dive from Vishwa Fernando, he was well short of the crease, bringing Sri Lanka's innings to a close. 236/10

lbw b Asitha Fernando
6.3 OUT! LBW! Asitha Fernando could not send Dan Lawrence two deliveries prior, but this time he gets rid of the big fish in Ben Duckett. Asitha Fernando and Sri Lanka are pumped up here and why not, they needed an early wicket and they have got one. Brilliant bowling from Fernando. He goes a bit fuller this time, around middle and gets it to jag back into the left-hander. Ben Duckett is caught inside the crease. He tries to flick it away but misses. Dhananjaya de Silva took the review after a word with his bowler, and it worked out pretty well for the visitors, as the Ball Tracking showed three reds. 30/1

c Dinesh Chandimal b Vishwa Fernando
14.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The change of ends worked for him! Vishwa Fernando the southpaw of Sri Lanka, comes from over the wicket and bowls on a good length on off and angles it away from the batter. Dan Lawrence hangs back and looks to guide it towards backward point but ends up getting nicked on the outer edge. The ball zips towards the right of the keeper and Chandimal makes no mistake to shuffle to his right and gloves the catch. The set-looking batter Dan Lawrence has to depart now for 30 off 39 deliveries. 67/3

Ollie Pope C | 6 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 75 |
b Asitha Fernando
8.4 OUT! TIMBER! Oh dear! Have I jinxed it? Sorry England. Asitha Fernando is dictating the terms here. A dream wicket for any seamer, as the ball kisses the top of off. It is a length ball, outside off, that jabs back in, at a good height as well. Ollie Pope tries to defend it from inside the crease, but ends up at the wrong line. The ball sneaks through the gap and takes the bails off, for the second wicket of England. Sri Lanka are surely the happier side here. 40/2

c Dinesh Chandimal b Asitha Fernando
25.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Asitha Fernando gets his third and this is a big, big wicket for Sri Lanka! Joe Root will be very disappointed with this dismissal as he trudges back to the pavilion. Fernando comes from over the wicket and lands it full and outside off, Joe Root plants his front leg across and looks for the expansive drive hoping the ball to nip back in but the ball just holds its line and catches a thick outside edge on its way. Dinesh Chandimal, the keeper takes a very sharp catch low in his front. England now are trailing by 111 runs with the scoreboard reading 125/4. 125/4

39.1 OUT! CLEANED UP! Prabath Jayasuriya gets some turn on offer this time around and gets a huge wicket here. Harry Brook is stunned. This is a fuller delivery, drifting in around middle and leg. The ball grips and turns away off the deck. Brook does not take it into consideration at all, and tries to defend it solidly from inside the crease, but ends up blocking the wrong line here. The ball spins away away from the bat and goes through to crash into the stumps. 187/5

Smith departs to a warm round of applause from both his teammates and the crowd, head bowed after what has been a truly remarkable innings. Jayasuriya darts this one quicker through the air and fuller in length well outside off, Jamie Smith with an extended arm looks for the slash but only gets an under edge that goes straight into the mitts of the keeper Dinesh Chandimal.

c Dinesh Chandimal b Milan Rathnayake
76.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A crucial wicket against the run of play, providing much-needed relief for Sri Lanka. Milan Rathnayake claims his first Test wicket, and while it wasn’t his finest delivery, it still does the job for the visitors, securing a valuable breakthrough. He bowls it on a good length but down leg, Gus Atkinson covers the line and looks to flick but only manages to get a feather off the inside edge. Dinesh Chandimal does very well to dive to his left and take a sharp low catch. The UltraEdge reconfirms the spike and the third umpire is satisfied with the clean catch as well. England now 305/7 and lead by 69 runs. 305/7

85.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Vishwa Fernando picks up his second wicket and England have been all out for 358 runs. They head into the innings break with a healthy lead of 122 runs. It is a short ball, around off. Matthew Potts thinks about riding the bounce here and goes for the kill. He pulls it powerfully towards deep square leg, but does not middle it. Kusal Mendis charges in from the deep, dives in front of him and takes a sharp catch. 358/10

b Chris Woakes
0.3 OUT! CLEANED UP! This is what England needed. A peach of a delivery from Woakes and he pings the top of off. Incredible bowling from the experienced campaigner. It is a scambled seam delivery, on a length, wide outside off. Nishan Madushka thinks this one will leave him as well, and decides to shoulder his arms at it. Although, the ball nips in sharply off the deck, to sneak past his front foot and go on to kiss the bails on its way. England are off to an ideal start here. They pick up a wicket, even before Sri Lanka could open their account. 0/1

c Harry Brook b Mark Wood
13.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Mark Wood comes in and breaks the partnership! What an impactful change this has been for England! Wood steams in from around the wicket to the left-hander and hits the deck hard, on a shorter length and angles it into the batter over middle and leg. Dimuth Karunaratne is stuck deep in the crease and cramped for room as he hops back and looks to tuck it away on the leg side. The ball catches the inside edge, goes off his thigh pads and lobs straight up in front of Harry Brook at second slip who takes the simplest of catches. A huge appeal goes around and the umpire after a long thought gives it out. Dimuth Karunaratne consults with Angelo Mathews to send it upstairs but decides against it and walks back. Dinesh Chandimal is the new batter in. 52/3

1.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Gus Atkinson wastes no time getting in the wicket's column here, and it only suggests that Sri Lanka are falling way behind in this game already. It is a good-length ball, outside off, around the fourth stump line. This one holds its line after hitting the deck. Kusal Mendis gets on his front foot and tries to defend it out, but ends up playing inside the line here. The ball catches the outside edge and flies towards the keeper. Jamie Smith behind the stumps makes no mistake here. 1/2

Angelo Mathews looks to work it across the line but plays it a bit early. He gets the connection on the leading edge and the ball loops towards the front of the point fiedler. Matthew Potts dives to his front and gets the catch safe into his hands. Angelo Mathews has to depart after an exceptional knock! 173/5

Chandimal, who could have stayed longer at the crease, opts to go big but ends up throwing his wicket away. Matthew Potts hurls this nice and full, in and around off, Dinesh Chandimal looks for the big heave through the off but doesn't quite get the timing right. Hits it high in the air over covers. Harry Singh the substitute fielder charges in from the ropes and settles under it to take a simple catch. Sri Lanka end with 204 run lead at the end of the innings. 326/10

25.3 OUT! LBW! Matthew Potts finds the breakthrough. It is a good-length ball, outside off. This one stays low and nips in as well off the deck. Dhananjaya de Silva tries to pull it away but only manages to connect with thin air. Matthew Potts and company put in a confident appeal and the finger does go up eventually. Dhananjaya de Silva has a chat with his partner and eventually decides to take the review, although it does not go in favour of Sri Lanka and they lose their skipper this time. The Ball Tracking shows three reds and Dhananjaya de Silva has to trudge back here. 95/4

85.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Oh dear, just jinxed it! Gus Atkinson finally breaks through and gets the biggest fish out in Kamindu Mendis! That dejected face of Chandimal says it all. Atkinson switches to 'round the wicket angle and lands it on a short of a length on off. Gets the ball to straighten a bit off the deck. Kamindu Mendis plays for the angle as he looks to punch it through the off side. Pokes at the delivery half-heartedly and ends up getting an outside edge to first slip. Joe Root crouches low and takes a sharp catch. Mendis walks off to a standing ovation from the crowd and the teammates on the balcony. He goes for a well-made 113. 307/7

He bowls this outside off, on a nagging length tempting Jayasuriya to go for the drive. He does play it away from his body with not much foot movement and only manages to get a thick outside edge that flies straight to Harry Brook at second slip. He tries to take it high on the left but gets his fingers at it as the ball pops out behind him. He swivels quickly and grabs hold of it the second time.

Vishwa Fernando opens his stance up and looks to keep it out but the ball zips past the bat to ping him on the pad.
