Scholfield departspublished at 16.4 overs
Scholfied c Maguire b Sargent 31 (England 94-3)
Ireland needed that one. Jane Maguire was the one fielder out in the deep on the leg side and Paige Scholfield manages to give her a little catching practice.
Freya Sargent picks up her first wicket, meaning Freya Kemp heads out to the middle. Left-hand / right-hand combo for England now.
Believe it or not, there is only one leftie in Ireland women's elite set up, so they won't have much experience bowling to southpaws.

The first of many? Let's hope so.
Here's Josh Hull's first Test wicket...
SL 97-5published at 18 overs
Kamindu 1, Dhananjaya 1
Josh Hull drifts down the leg side a couple of times too many in his latest over. He's not perfect but there's plenty for England to work with.
it feels like it might be getting a little dark. Well, not dark, but Joel Wilson and Chris Gaffaney dark, if you get me.

You know when a bowler is in their groove when he's walking back with purpose and intent.

This was Olly Stone's first wicket. Stand by for his second...
England steady in pursuit of 211published at 15 overs
England 82-2
If there were any nerves around when England slipped to 32-2, they will have eased now. Hollie Armitage and Paige Schofield have added 50 for the third wicket, and Ireland can't find a way of stemming the runs.
Do they need to? Yes, absolutely, although they are going to need to bowl England out here to stand a chance.
SL 93-5published at 17 overs
trail by 232
Olly Stone is in the middle of a spell. He's marching back to his mark, seemingly desperate to charge in again. Great stuff.
Kamindu almost plays his first ball back onto his stumps.

Kamindu Mendis, Sri Lanka's best batter, comes in during another crisis...

That was a bit of a desperate review to be honest. I'm a bit surprised by it.
Brilliant from Olly Stone, he's come in and had an impact straight away.
WICKETpublished at 16.1 overs
Chandimal lbw b Stone 0 (SL 93-5)
Stone-dead!
Olly has his second. It would have knocked leg stump out of the ground. Dinesh Chandimal departs for a four-ball duck.

England think this is out after seeing the first replay on the big screen.
Sri Lanka reviewpublished at 15:19 British Summer Time 7 September
Dinesh Chandimal is given lbw to Olly Stone!
He wants another look but it looked plumb.
SL 93-4published at 16 overs
The happiness Joe Root showed for Josh Hull there is really heart-warming. He's seen it all but is still loving it.
The Oval applauds at the end of the over as Josh Hull - a Test wicket-taker - gets his cap. He poses for a selfie with some guy in the crowd as he gets back to fine leg.

It's a stunning catch from Chris Woakes but for Josh Hull he takes his maiden Test wicket.
What a special moment.

Could this be a moment that we're all look back at?
You can see why they've taken a punt on this young bowler, he's got all the attributes.
WICKETpublished at 15.3 overs
Nissanka c Woakes b Hull 64 (SL 91-4)
JOSH HULL HAS HIS FIRST TEST WICKET!
And he needs to give thank you to Chris Woakes who has pulled off a fine diving catch at extra cover to dismiss Pathum Nissanka. The opener tried to drive a wide ball but failed to keep it down.
Hull is mobbed by his team-mates while Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum are smiling on the balcony.

We were talking about Josh Hull being inexperienced but Shoaib Bashir had played even less when he made his debut.

Nissanka 60, Chandimal 0
England have dragged things back after that wild start.
Josh Hull continues.

That's a brilliant wicket. Stone really bowled that into the surface with good pace.
Mathews couldn't find the right angle and a great catch from Ollie Pope
