Mathews, shoulders of a man who forgot to remove the coathanger from his shirt, is swinging for the fences. Everything Willey bowls is being lined up on the leg side. No great joy. It's good from Willey, actually, facing up to the charge of the Lankan skipper. Finally, when Chandimal moves to the off side, does the ball get whipped to fine leg for four. Chandimal on 49.

"With seven wickets in hand, Sri Lanka may even start thinking about 300. This is a great position - bat sensibly for another two or three overs and then take the attack to the England bowlers."

Now then, I've had a couple of days off work. I spent them in Nice watching England lose to Iceland. No football chat here, but it does add to a lengthy list of national sporting failures I've witnessed. 2006-07 - Australia 5-0 England. 2010 - Germany 4-1 England. 2015 - Bangladesh knock England out of the World Cup. Now this. So, I ask you, when have you travelled for sport, only to suffer disappointment. All levels - school, club, international. Come on, share your pain.

"That was a comedy of errors. Poor shot, bad throw, misfield. Everything about that was ghastly."

Cheers, Dawkesy. I arrive with Sri Lanka tickling the accelerator under lead skies in south London. David Willey, left-arm trundle, has keeper Jos Buttler up to the stumps, testing the gloveman with one slipped down the leg side. Full length under floodlights, bowler let down by an errant throw from Jason Roy. A buzzer. 

The wardrobe-esque shape of Liam Plunkett thunders up to the crease to deliver his fifth over. But as the old saying almost goes; the bigger they are, the farther they go. Chandimal takes a step or two and smashes the ball straight back down the ground for six. It takes Sri Lanka past 200.

You're probably bored of me now. I'll hand you over to Stephan Shemilt. Ta ra.

"This is a problem for Morgan is this doesn't go well. He's got Plunkett, Willey and Woakes and that is it."

"I'm a big fan of Angelo Mathews. If he starts to hit the ball as well as he can, 280 is not beyond Sri Lanka."

David Willey is back but Mathews and Chandimal continue in efficient fashion. Four singles off the over.

The mini boundary drought is ended as Mathews plants his foot and belts Moeen over deep midwicket for six. That is the first boundary since this blow from Chandimal six overs ago...

Rashid continues and Mathews gets inventive with a reverse flick to leg to pick up two runs to add to the four singles Sri Lanka had already taken off Rashid's ninth, which should be the spinner's last in the revised structure.

..they lost two quick wickets. Firstly Mendis and then Gunathilaka.

Sri Lanka certainly started as they left off as Gunathilaka reached his half-century.

"Sri Lanka are in a good position. So long as they don't lose wickets in the next four or five overs they have a really good launching pad."

Sri Lanka keeping it ticking with singles and looking to hammer anything lose. Moeen gets away with one as he is smashed away to deep-backward square, where Liam Plunkett comes in to dive and field.

Phil Tufnell
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"It's right to sneak the spinners in now, especially to Mathews and Chandimal, who will look to get on top of them. Get their overs out of the way."

The spinners are rattling through overs now. Six deliveries from Rashid, five singles scored off them.

Sri Lanka are on a rebuilding job now. Moeen continues and goes for four singles. There is a bit of arm-wrestle going on now for ownership of this innings. It remaisn in the balance as to who is Dutch and who is Dillon? Predator reference for you there.
