  1. SL 82-3

    The WASP has Sri Lanka ending on 259. Can't see that being enough. Sri Lanka pilfer four more runs from Willey. It has been six overs since the last boundary.

    "I was summoned to Andy Flower for a dressing down here. A six of the best. It was a day before a Test match against West Indies and there was a lot of talk about resting players. I got a bit grumpy about it. It ended amicably."

  4. SL 78-3

    England keep up the pressure as Moeen goes for just one off his fourth over. Sri Lanka now having to rebuild again, setting back the chance of an established man going a bit harder. Perfect for England.

    Matt JFT96 Western: @JasonRoy20 TAKE A BOW!!! Best piece of fielding I've seen in a very long time!! Superb run out!

  7. SL 77-3

    Captain Angelo Mathews (now an injury-enforced specialist batsman) is the new man. Sri Lanka need an innings from him. Willey ends his over with two dots.

  8. Jonathan Agnew

    "They practise that so hard. When I was playing it was a bit of a fluke if you hit the stumps."

  9. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    "It was brilliant. He ran around from backward point, picked the ball up his left hand, turned and threw with his right."

    WICKET

    Perera run out (Roy) 37 (SL 77-3)

    Take a bow Jason Roy. Chandimal prods a short ball from Willey to backward point, where Roy runs to, collects, turns and throws down the stumps to run out Perera at the striker's end. It is brilliant fielding. Perera wasn't exactly tearing to get in, though.

  11. SL 75-2

    Moeen Ali isn't messing about. Another cheap over flies by. He is giving the Sri Lankans nothing to step to and swing through.

    This. Is. Edgbaston!!!!

  13. SL 73-2

    David Willey returns and produces his best over so far. He keeps it mainly in the corridor and goes for just a couple of singles.

  14. Oxenford's 'shield'

    #bbccricket

    Martin Grant: Oxenford shield more q than a. Had it been used in anger? Does it light up if hit? What would John Holder say?

    Jay: Bruce Oxenford could've become a legend in cricket folklore if he'd chosen to don the Iron Man suit (fully equipped) instead

  15. SL 70-2

    Moeen Ali whirls his way quickly through another over for little damage. England will be happy with this. Sri Lanka are having to graft hard.

    I was always more of a Sergeant Bash man myself.

  17. SL 66-2 (Plunkett 4-0-20-2)

    Chandimal hasn't quite found the middle of his bat yet but he gets a four with a lofted drive through point off Plunkett. He has the two wickets but the batsmen clearly fancy a piece of big Plunks.

    A limerick for Bruce Oxenford: There once was a very scared ump, Who couldn't bear taking a bump, As a cure for his fear, He hired some gear, But now looks like a terrible chump.

  19. SL 61-2 (Chandimal 5, Perera 32)

    With the powerplay done, Moeen Ali brings some spin to proceedings. It is a decent start. Perera tries to get his feet going and brings himself a couple with a blow on the floor wide of mid-on. Six runs off the over. Sri Lanka in rebuild mode.
