Dhananjaya de Silva is back, and he's heaved away by Ben Stokes for one.
Down the pitch comes Joe Denly, but he can't beat the bowler...

Stokes 22, Denly 3
What a superb bit of bowling from Lasith Malinga.
The ball moves in towards Ben Stokes, and all he can do is push it into the covers for one. Just two runs from the over.
Eng 151-5published at 15.5 overs
A run!
This time, Joe Denly can get onto the back foot and drive for a single. That means Ben Stokes has one Malinga delivery to see off.
Eng 150-5published at 15.4 overs
Malinga takes the pace off the ball once again, and it's a big swing and a miss from Denly.
Four dot balls...
Eng 150-5published at 15.3 overs
A slow ball again from Malinga, but Denly picks it this time and drives the ball towards cover.
Malinga then spears in a fast, toe-crunching yorker for good measure, and Denly wisely gets his feet out of the way and blocks the ball back down the pitch.

Ooft.
Lasith Malinga welcomes Joe Denly back to international cricket with a ridiculous slower ball, that somehow manages to miss the edge of the bat and Denly's off stump.
"Watch the ball," is Ben Stokes' helpful advice.

Moeen b Dhananjaya 27 (Eng 145-5)
That's probably the ugliest shot Moeen has played, and it's cost him his wicket.
A huge swipe across the line, and Moeen misses the ball by a mile. Dhananjaya raises his arms as the ball clatters into the stumps.

A slower ball from Perara, and Moeen swings it away for a single. Just the 15 runs from that over...
Eng 140-4published at 13.5 overs
And again!
Oh, I love watching Moeen bat. That's a big six, Perera offering up a hint of width, and Moeen swings his arms to muscle the ball over cow corner.
Eng 134-4published at 13.4 overs
Hello!
Moeen's absolutely middled this. A flick of the wrists, and he helps the ball up and over the infield and over the ropes, where it's dropped by the groundsman.

A big top edge from Ben Stokes, the ball whirling down to third man - but it bounces in front of the fielder who slides, misses the ball, and watches Stokes scamper through for one.
Eng 127-4published at 13.2 overs
Captain Thisara Perera has decided to bowl himself, but his first delivery trails onto Moeen's pads, and England scramble a bye.
Ooft. Ben Stokes then gets into a bit of a tangle and promptly gets whacked on the thigh as he tries to pull the ball away. He ends up flat on his backside, looking a bit sheepish.

Moeen 9, Stokes 17
Sandakan borrows a towel from the umpire in an attempt to dry the ball off, before Moeen wristily hoicks a couple of singles through the leg side.
Eng 123-4published at 12.4 overs
Here's Lakshan Sandakan - and there goes Lakshan Sandakan!
That's a gorgeous shot from Moeen, taking a little skip and launching the ball back down the ground. And this time, the waiting groundsman shells the catch.

Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali clip a couple of leisurely singles into the leg side, as Kamindu works his way through a sedate over.
