  1. Eng 2-0

    Sri Lanka have banished a fielder out to deep point for Ben Duckett's first ball. England's opener knocks the ball out to him to begin.

  2. Eng 0-0

    The clouds have come in a bit as the players remerge with England ahead of the game.

    This is a big knock for Dan Lawrence. A trip to Pakistan may rest upon it.

  3. Olly Stone, who finished with 3-35, was probably the pick of England's bowlers...

  4. Josh Hull finishes with 3-53 in his first Test innings.

    I thought he stepped it up a level today.

  5. We are very lucky to get lunches at the cricket grounds we work from. Stephan took a supermarket meal deal to Lord's last week...

    BBC Sport chief cricket writer at The Oval

    Before the second Test, after Pope had gone badly with his reviews in the first, Pope said he was going to put a lot of trust in Jamie Smith because the England keeper has good judgement. I'm not sure I've seen him ask Smith once.

    I have some great memories of watching Moeen Ali play for England. Remember a 5th day at Lord's v New Zealand where he took a great catch and the crowd erupted. Lovely man, great cricketer.

  8. Moeen says he still loves playing and will continue to play franchise cricket.

  9. A certain Moeen Ali has just popped in for a chat with Aggers on TMS.

    He says "it feels like the right time" to retire.

    England are in a strong position after taking those last five wickets today.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Asitha c Smith b Bashir 11 (SL 263 all out)

    It hit the wristband, which counts as glove. Shoaib Bashir takes the last wicket. England take a lead of 62 runs.

  12. Asitha looks confident but there's a spike as the ball passes glove!

  13. Sri Lanka review

    England, and the umpire, think Asitha Fernando has chipped up the simplest of catches but he says it came off his arm.

    Let's have a look...

  14. England have taken four wickets so far today...

  15. Drinks break - SL 259-9

    That's drinks with Sri Lanka 66 runs behind.

    Remember lunch has been pushed back to 13:45 BST.

    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Ollie Pope has lost nine reviews and three tosses.

  17. Not out

    That hasn't done much for Ollie Pope's review record.

    He's at least seeing the funny side.

  18. This looks like it has hit Lahiru Kumara's shoulder.

  19. England review

    Another review.

    Only one or two England players went up for caught behind here but I heard something.

    Ben Duckett has run off to get ready to bat already. He's confident.

    All to Mo's credit that he was mucked about by various captains, selectors, and coaches over the years, and kept coming back when asked, and always did his utmost. Other players would have (as several others did during the same period) made it clear what they thought about the England management. But Moeen was always humble and decent and forgiving and showed up and frequently performed. A real professional.
