Bashir returns, changing ends to replace Chris Woakes.

A couple of singles from the over, the first bringing up the fifty partnership between this pair.

Anonymous: I hate to rain on Raji from Wallingford’s parade, but might the large number of day four purchases reflect the fact the match started on Wednesday…

They're a fighting team, Sri Lanka, they always have been.

Karunaratne is a very stubborn player.

Karunaratne picks up three off Atkinson, knocking into a gap at mid-wicket.

A further single into square leg brings up the Sri Lankan fifty.

Helen, Manchester: Like Sam, I also have day four tickets. My last two England Test attempts were day five Ashes at Old Trafford last year and the abandoned final India Test in 2021.

Some are bouncing more and some are scuttling through. I don't think you'd ever feel "in" as a batter on this pitch.

Woakes clips the rump of Angelo Mathews and the ball scuttles away for four leg byes.

The England seamer questions whether the batter was playing a shot, but it appears the vague movement towards the ball was enough for umpire Chris Gaffaney.

Sam: I'm currently at Old Trafford, apparently the world record for the amount of Ferrero Rocher eaten in one minute is nine. We currently have 10 left, does anyone fancy a go?

Sounds like rank cowardice to me, Sam. Why aren't you wolfing them down yourself?

Angelo Mathews robs Gus Atkinson of a maiden, pushing his final ball into the covers for a single.

Raji, Wallingford: As a Sri Lankan, I'm just honoured that so many people bought day four tickets, confident that we'd take it that deep.

Close!

Mathews flicks Woakes away behind square and the ball just evades the diving Ollie Pope at leg slip, running away for four.

Anonymous: for Sam from York! Congratulations - you've just guaranteed day three against India will be a wash out......

Karunaratne bookends Atkinson's over with a couple of fours.

The first ball is angled through gully, the last viciously cut to the boundary.

Woakes sends down a maiden to Mathews, his second in four overs in this innings.

Just the one over for Shoaib Bashir, as Gus Atkinson returns.

Mathews flicks him to fine leg for the one single from the over, taking Sri Lanka to 22-2, exactly 100 behind England.

Sam, York: I had Headingley day five tickets in the Ashes, I have day four tickets for this one. Looks like I'm 0/2 for seeing an England Test. Next I need day three tickets vs India.

It's still a slow outfield but that was beautifully timed.

Lovely timing!

Over-pitched from Woakes and Karunaratne drives him nicely past mid-off for four.

Justin, Hertfordshire: You’d think I would’ve learnt after day four of the Ashes last summer but I’m on the 15:30 from London to Manchester with my day four ticket in hand and I’ve just donned my Sri Lankan shirt in hope of a big partnership, rain or bad light so I see some play tomorrow.
