If England keep taking risks, Sri Lanka will continue to take wickets.

Mind you, we do have a colleague who won't eat mince because he regards it as "too bitty".

Anyway, Joe Root and Dan Lawrence are on their way back out.

It's looking sunny out there, but there are dark clouds hanging over the back of the stands.

For the avoidance of doubt, no-one in the BBC Sport office is eating dog food.

I want to make that absolutely clear.

Sri Lanka look fired up.

I just feel all it takes is for Joe Root to come in and then you know shots are going to be played.

Covers are now coming off again, Nick - so hopefully you'll remain dry from now on.

But stick some sun protection on, eh?

I should clarify that the onion bhaji sandwich was bought for his personal consumption.

The colleague who asked for "any sandwich" is a different person.

The BBC Sport offices are home to both the meal deal everymen and the sandwich hipsters.

The umpires don't know what to do.

Rain stops playpublished at 8 overs

8 overs

Eng 35-2

Right, this is very odd.

Joe Root blocks out the two remaining balls of Lahiru Kumara's over, but then the umpires have to take the players off as there's heavy rain seemingly over one specific part of the ground - the rest is bathed in sunshine!

Root and Dan Lawrence initially sit down on the boundary, presumably thinking the squall won't last long, but have now retreated into the pavilion.

A few more Moeen tributes, as the players re-emerge from the pavilion.

Another colleague has returned from the shop with an onion bhaji sandwich.

That's not one you'd risk buying for someone who'd asked for "any sandwich."

Very much an idiosyncratic pick.

Anyway, I'm sure we could talk all day about turn of the Millennia schools cricket, but let's look back at some of this morning's session.

Sri Lanka resumed on 211-5. Here's how their remaining wickets fell as they were dismissed for 263, 62 runs behind.

I was the prized scorer of my year group's cricket team, occasionally forced to fill in and actually play, much to the detriment of the quality of the scorebook.

We reached a final in Year 8 in Southampton where one of our players was late, and our PE teacher tried to gee us up by telling us it didn't matter because "John Webb is not passionate about cricket."

Then he turned up and he had to go in the team as, ultimately, John Webb was quite a good fielder.

Test Match Special are interviewing veteran football commentator Clive Tyldesley over lunch.

He's just said, "I was a much better cricket scorer than I was a player."

Been there, Clive, been there.

I know what you mean, Rob - it's all been rather frantic, hasn't it?

Here's how Ollie Pope departed...

Thanks Matt, you get off and enjoy some lunch.

Speaking of which, earlier today there was a situation in our office.

Someone was doing a supermarket run, and a colleague asked for a meal deal featuring "any sandwich, any crisp flavour."

I mean, what a weighty decision to put on another man's shoulders.

Well England fans have said they want some competitive cricket. They're could get some here.

Time for me to hand to Mike Peter...
