  1. Not out

    Ollie Pope was throwing his arms up in dismay from the moment he grasped the ball.

    Not out - as everyone in the ground knew.

  2. Umpire review

    The umpires have gone upstairs to check whether a catch England hardly appealed for carried.

    I'm saying nothing.

  3. SL 257-9

    More sweeps, reverse sweeps and slogs from Asitha Fernando. Three runs.

  4. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Sri Lanka will be upset this morning.

    They were probably hoping for more runs.

  5. What this clip doesn't show you is the bouncers which Olly Stone used to unsettle Milan Rathnayake. That's what caused him to play this loose shot.

  6. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    What a shot that is. He's been backing away and he picked the right ball to take a waft at it.

  7. SL 254-9

    Trail by 71

    Joe Root is grinning at slip as Asitha Fernando backs away and connects only with thin air.

    Maybe Fernando saw him because he charges the next ball and smacks it over Olly Stone's head for four!

    A Moeen memory of sorts... in T20 cricket, Moeen strikes at 151 against spin bowling, the third highest ever behind only Chris Gayle and Glenn Maxwell (min 2000 runs). A highly unusual and almost unique English cricketer.

  9. SL 249-9

    Trail by 76

    Yeah, wait a few minutes before putting your Yorkshire puddings in. A wicket is coming, I reckon.

    Asitha Fernando swings and misses.

  10. Josh Hull's spell is over. Here's Shoaib Bashir.

    Remember Gus Atkinson is still off the field.

    Moeen Ali has always been my favourite player - I first became obsessed with cricket in 2009 with Jimmy’s bravery at Cardiff. But the first cricketer I actively made the choice to throw my lot in with, was Mo. Defending him, celebrating him, Mo was the best player for a young person to support- positive, proud of his heritage, humble, adaptable. Also I could watch him bat and bowl all day and twice on Sundays. Cheers Mo!

  12. SL 248-9

    Trail by 77

    Asitha Fernando's first shot suggests another wicket may not be far away.

    Big waft outside the off stump for Rathnayake, there was no foot movement.

    He's had a big drive at and not connected well it, it's a comfortable catch by Smith.

    WICKET

    Rathnayake c Smith b Stone 7 (SL 248-9)

    The catching may have been ropey but this is very good bowling from Olly Stone.

    He unsettled Milan Rathnayake with some short balls and then throws one wider. The left-hander cannot help but chase it and nicks behind.

    England have nine. Stone, like Josh Hull, has three.

  15. Oh dear. This doesn't get any better on second (or third) viewing...

  16. Ben Jones
    CricViz analyst

    England have taken 45 wickets this year with bowlers aged 20 or younger.

    That's the most for any year in their history and the next best is 18 wickets, back in 2018.

  17. SL 248-8

    The plan is clear from Josh Hull.

    Push Lahiru Kumara back with a bouncer - this one flies over the keeper for four byes - and then fire in a yorker. Kumara defends successfully this time.

  18. SL 243-8

    A maiden to start from Olly Stone. Good but he's not reprieved yet.

    One more over for Josh Hull to try and get five?

  19. This was how Josh Hull got his third wicket...

  20. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Olly Stone went very early with the fingers up, normally you do that when you're running backwards. It looked very awkward.
