  1. SL 83-0

    So Alastair Cook decides to mix it up a little and throw Moeen into the equation. Can he throw a spanner into this smooth conveyor belt of a Sri Lanka innings? Silva dabs a single to point.

  2. SL 82-0 (trail by 334)

    Karunaratne and Silva runRex Features

    Silva works Anderson into the gap for a single. These two are looking pretty comfortable...

  3. The DRS debate

    tms@bbc.co.uk

    I reckon it should be taken out of the players' hands. Put simply, if the umpire is not sure whither the batsman is out or not, he should use the technology to aid him, as in a line decision such as a dubious run-out.

  4. SL 81-0

    Woakes continues. Both these batsmen sniffing fifties now. Silva flicks off his toes very fine and picks up a four.

    Any more mistakes like that and he'll be dropped to the A Team.

  6. SL 76-0 (Anderson 8-1-22-0)

    Karunaratne has to get a wriggle on here - sharp single and James Vince swoops looking for the direct hit but he's falling away and can't direct the throw on target. That's the only change out of a probing over from Jimmy.

    Chris WoakesRex Features

    TC: Poor Woakes, dropped catches, marginal LBWs. Unluckiest Test bowler of the past two years? Maybe Pankaj Singh, but he's in 2nd.

  8. SL 75-0

    News from the field hospital - Stuart Broad has limped off and been replaced by a strapping young substitute, who looks not unlike a youthful Andrew Flintoff, before his days of pedalo-related debauchery. Anyone, Broad's absence means more yakka for Christopher Woakes, off whose bowling Silva sneaks a leg bye.

  10. SL 74-0 (Karunaratne 31, Silva 38)

    Every now and then you get a little reminder that it's not quite a paradise for batsmen out there. More like a four-star hotel. Inside snick from Silva, just betraying a little bit of lateral wobble from Jimmy A. But the ball squirts safe and there's still no breakthrough for England.

    "That technology suggested the ball would have hit the stumps. That's the point. Anyone looking at that on the telly would say 'that's out'. But it's not out. DRS was always going to be a can of worms..." 

  12. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    "That's out, for me."

  13. SL 73-0

    That was always the smart-money option, I'm afraid. Ball taking out a good chunk of the top of off stump, but not quite enough. Karu survives...

  14. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Test Match Special

    "He's not hit it but it's quite high on that back leg."

  15. England review

    Chris Woakes with a strong lbw shout against Karunaratne. Turned down, England want another look...

    "That didn't look good. Surely if you've got a bit of a problem you go off and see the physio."

  17. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    "I thought that was a hammy twang."

  18. SL 72-0

    Anderson with the ball from the other end. Now then, what's happened to Stuart Broad? Has he gone in the fetlock here? He has you know - innocuous enough piece of fielding, Broad went down like a poison blowdart had nestled in his calf. England's task of taking 20 wickets looks steeper still...

    "I'm sure Alastair Cook won't be pleased with this at all. Runs are coming far too easily."

  20. SL 71-0

    Streaky start from Silva, edging Woakes along the floor through gully. That'll be four. Another streaky boundary quickly follows, off Silva's pads and down the leg side this time. Real bonus runs those.
