  1. SL 16-3published at 15:23 British Summer Time 20 May 2016

    New man Chandimal, stepping into another full one, crashing it through cover on the drive. England won't mind that. Skipper Mathews at the other end, staring down at the wreckage.

    "They still need 87 to avoid the follow-on! It's a long way, the way it's going. Get you pads on quick, all of them. The length and line - get them together. Get them forward, even driving. They are in trouble."

    Classic Broad delivery, fullish and on off, nipping away just enough, perfect on this pitch, nightmarish for the good ship Sri Lanka. Headingley a half-empty bowl of cavorting and celebrating.

    "That was Anderson's 434th wicket in Test cricket, taking him level with Kapil Dev in sixth place on the all-time list."

    "They need another 87 to avoid the follow-on. It's not that short, just short of a length. You want to get forward but it's not allowing you. You're in two minds. England have problems at two, three and five in the batting, but they win Test matches on the quality of the seam bowling."

    Shorter and fast, batsman going forward after a pair of full ones, and he can't get out of the way of that one - skinny nick, off he goes, England on the charge...

    "It's beautiful bowling. Pitched up, pace, making him play, just leaving him a little bit. I don't care who you are, if you get a good ball like that, you just say 'well bowled'."

    Broad cantering in again, four slips and a gully. Silva squirts one away for two through point. Hello, is that Devon Malcolm there? Unless you're Ted Dexter, of course, in which case he'd be Malcolm Devon. Full, little away dart, gone!

    Stand down, he's OK. Two dot balls to finish that over. Plenty happening out there.

    "The bounce seems perfect for wicketkeepers, going through waist-high or head-high."

  13. ouch!

    SL 7-0 (3.4 overs)published at 14:59 British Summer Time 20 May 2016

    Revenge of sorts for Anderson, in the form of a lifter that raps Karaunaratne on the bottom glove as he whips it off the bat handle. The physio is needed here.

  14. SL 7-0published at 14:58 British Summer Time 20 May 2016

    Wayward from Anderson - and that's the first boundary of the innings. England's record wicket-taker strays on to the pads of Silva, who collects an easy-as-you-like four over mid-wicket.

    "It's good thinking to have that fourth slip because Silva looks reluctant to get forward to Broad."

  17. SL 2-0 (trail by 296)published at 14:55 British Summer Time 20 May 2016

    Broad charging in, Silva defending, slip cordon applauding. More dots... and Silva edges just short of Anderson, who had only just been moved to fourth slip. It's tense out there. A no-ball gets the Sri Lanka total moving before Silva collects one to fine leg.
