    Four, Stephan. FOUR?

    I am almost lost for words, which is a bit of a problem for a live texter.

    Four curries in four nights. Completed it. I will now take questions from the floor.

    It's a cruel job, the nightwatchman. I was always being sent out there.

    You do the hard yards with the ball all day, and just when you want to put your feet up, you're told to get out there and do the batsmen's job!

    Ooh, after Chris Woakes gets one to keep low, Gus Atkinson gets one to leap up off the track and flash past Prabath Jayasuriya's outside edge.

    The pitch is doing stuff.

    What a combination. That's a look for radio.

    It'll be a good thing for Steven Finn if there are not many here. Have you seen what he's wearing? A baggy gilet with a London Spirit cap!

  7. SL 55-2published at 21 overs

    Chris Woakes gets one to keep low, forcing Dimuth Karunaratne to re-adjust and jam his bat down on to the ball. That will give England some encouragment.

    Gus Atkinson will open at the other end.

    A very good decision.

    Pitched outside leg - spot on from umpire Paul Reiffel.

    Instinctively, I thought it was going down the leg side.

    Chris Woakes gets one to jag back in and trap Dimuth Karunaratne in front.

    Umpire says no - Ollie Pope sends it upstairs.

    There are plenty of white seats as the players take to the field, though the cloud has cleared and we now have blues skies and sun overhead.

    That might tempt a few people to head to the ground.

    I'm a bit concerned about the crowd. There are some very empty stands.

    The cost of the tickets and the tendency for Tests to be over very quickly, it all plays a part. It will be a talking point if there are only a few thousand in today.

    You've got to watch the waistline on Test match days. It becomes easy to have a full English breakfast every morning, so I went for the smoked eel today.

    England haven't done anything particularly special with the ball, possibly because they haven't had to, it's just that Sri Lanka have given their wickets away so far.

    But what they do well is bowl as a unit and keep applying the pressure. Sri Lanka will have to be patient.

    Kamindu Mendis is batting at eight - that's good depth!

  16. Postpublished at 10:54 British Summer Time 1 September

    Dimuth Karunaratne will begin the day on 23 and Prabath Jayasuriya - who was promoted to number four to see Sri Lanka through to the close on Saturday - is on three.

    With a hefty 430 runs needed for the most improbable of victories. This feels like a case of how long it will take for England to finish the job.

    I would love to see us come back tomorrow, I want Sri Lanka to show plenty of fight. But in my gut, I think we'll be done by tea.

    I think Ollie Pope has done alright with his captaincy in the field. Really, the bowlers should do the job for him today.

    The scoreboard pressure will play its part as well.

    For Sri Lanka, just bat, it's as simple as that.

    Don't think about what's been before, don't think about the target. It feels like a batting day, so just cash in and be hungry for runs.
