  1. Eng 348-8

    Runs are flowing.

    Matthew Potts drives gloriously down the ground for four, quite the antithesis to Mark Wood's brutality - but both are equally satisfying.

    Sri Lanka are in trouble. England's lead passes 100 and they're now going to need a very, very good second innings with the bat.

  2. 6 runs

    Eng 341-8

    Strap yourselves in, people!

    Mark Wood gets a short ball from Asitha Fernando and hooks it into the stands!

    To finish off the extraordinary sequence, it's caught in the crowd ONE-HANDED by a bloke holding a pint in the other.

    Take a bow, sir.

    If we had any questions about how Mark Wood was going to play, he's pretty much answered them straight away.

  4. Eng 334-8

    Lead by 98

    Four more!

    As expected, Mark Wood is going to have some fun. He punishes another bad ball to the cover boundary as Prabath Jayasuriya goes too wide. It's a freebie.

  5. Eng 327-8

    Lead by 91

    And Wood guides another past the slips for the same result!

    The new ball is whizzing through the outfield, whereas the older one was plugging.

    It is swinging, though, so if Sri Lanka can be disciplined with their areas, the last two wickets shouldn't be too far away.

    Asitha Fernando takes the new ball.

    And is slammed through the covers by Mark Wood!

  7. Jamie Smith's best shots?

    Yes please.

  8. Eng 316-8

    Lead by 80

    Mark Wood makes his way to the middle.

    Now, things could get really fun.

    The opportunity was there for a bigger one for Smith and that was a lose ball from Jayasuriya. Smith went hard at it. That's a wicket that Sri Lanka were searching for.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Smith c Chandimal b Jayasuriya 111 (Eng 315-8)

    A very good catch ends a very, very good innings.

    Jamie Smith was trying to kick on, with Matthew Potts for company and just Mark Wood and Shoaib Bashir to come.

    He gives himself some room, but Prabath Jayasuriya smartly bowls it wider and Smith flashes away from his body. The edge flies through and Dinesh Chandimal clings on, well outside off stump.

    Smith falls for 111, and receives a well-earned standing ovation from Old Trafford.

    I genuinely didn't think anybody would notice...

    Tim & Hannah, Bristol: We see what you did there at the 74 over mark Ffion… anyone else on TikTok?

  13. Here's the moment Jamie Smith reached his century.

    I think we'll by typing those words quite often over the next few years.

  14. Eng 312-7

    Lead by 76

    The new ball is now only two overs away.

    Sri Lanka need it.

  15. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    I think we're going to see Jamie Smith slip through the gears now and build on that lead.

  16. Eng 309-7

    I think we know how Smith is going to approach this, with only three wickets left.

    He slams a full toss from Jayasuriya down the ground for four.

  17. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    Smith looks as if he belongs at Test cricket. I like the way he's been batting. He's done it methodically with patience.

  18. Eng 305-7

    Lead by 69

    Matthew Potts drives his first ball crisply, but is retrieved by the fielder.

    The partnership between Smith and Atkinson was worth a valuable 66.

    Rathnayake was made to wait before he could celebrate his first Test wicket, but Sri Lanka finally get the breakthrough.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Atkinson c Chandimal b Rathnayake 20 (Eng 305-7)

    Gone.

    Two balls after Smith reaches his century, Gus Atkinson gets a faint edge and tickles one down the leg side to the wicketkeeper.

    It's a first Test wicket for Milan Rathnayake, and Sri Lanka finally have something to smile about after an underwhelming start.
