Michael Vaughan
Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialSri Lanka have bowled beautifully.
They've moved the ball around, England have handed them wickets and now the pressure is on.

Woakes c Chandimal b Kumara 0 (Eng 70-6)
Woakes falls swiftly!
A six-ball duck for the England number seven, edging behind off Kumara with an off side nudge.
England in deep trouble - time for the Lord's centurion Gus Atkinson.

Surely this has been the ugliest England display of the Bazball era. The players don't seem to give the impression that they are enjoying their cricket which isn't super professional. Sri Lanka deserve to get something out of the series and perhaps they will?

BBC cricket correspondentThe win calculator has England winning at 75%.
It's bright and sunny but the ball is still swinging.
Eng 69-5published at 17 overs
Chris Woakes is the new batter, and he fends off the remaining three balls of Vishwa Fernando's over.

BBC cricket correspondentIt was classic left-arm swing bowling. We've seem some terrific bowling here.
The Oval's gone a bit quiet.

Sir Alastair Cook
Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialI don't think anyone can quite believe it.
Sri Lanka have bowled brilliantly, the difference between this and the previous innings is incredible.

Brook lbw b V Fernando 3 (Eng 69-5)
Like Root before him, Brook is walking off before we even get to ball tracking.
Lovely delivery from Vishwa Fernando, beats the attempted drive from Brook and thuds into the pads.
England lead by just 131 and we're into the tail. Sri Lanka are in this.

Umpire reviewpublished at 16.3 overs
Struck on the pad again!
This time it's Brook - Joel Wilson's got his finger up, the England batter reviews...
Eng 69-4published at 16 overs
Kumara bowls a juicy in-swinger that just passes over Smith's stumps - the England keeper had left that one.

BBC cricket correspondentSri Lanka have got some catching up to do with no spinners.
Eng 67-4published at 15 overs
In comes Jamie Smith on his home ground, and he gets off the mark with a single into the leg side.
Incidentally, Root had started that over with a cover drive for four, taking him past Kumar Sangakkara's to become the sixth highest run scorer in Test cricket with 12,402.
And no more than that.

Now Sri Lanka have got him, it's down to the youngsters.

BBC cricket correspondentJoe Root is walking off shaking his head.
He's missed a full toss there, got in a tangle.
WICKETpublished at 14.3 overs
Root lbw b A Fernando 12 (Eng 66-4)
Nothing on the bat there!
Hit on the boot, right in front of the stumps, while trying to turn the ball to leg.
Root walks off before we get ball tracking, which confirms his dismissal when it does arrive.
England 66-4, a lead of 128 - this game is most definitely in the balance.

Umpire reviewpublished at 14.3 overs
Root struck on the pad by Asitha Fernando.
Full delivery, possibly hit on the boot, umpire's finger up.
Root reviews.
Eng 62-3published at 14 overs
The England batters accumulate three singles from the bowling of Lahiru Kumara.
For those wondering, it's sunny at The Oval and the skies look pretty clear.
