  1. SL 242-9

    Moeen to get his five-fer to wrap this up?

  2. A champagne super over?

  3. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    The Cricket Social statistician

    This is only the second time England's spinners have taken 16 wickets or more in a Test since 1958. They have 16 in this match, behind the 19 Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar shared in Mumbai in 2012.

    Is Herath thinking he'll bat for 70 minutes, grind it out and hope for a deluge tomorrow? Or will he play some shots for the last time? Bowlers prefer to do the latter, don't they?

  6. SL 242-9

    A large crowd of people have gathered outside the 'Rangana Herath stand' which actually looks like a large gazebo, or at best tent.

    It's a bit like that stand behind the goal at Bristol Rovers.

  7. Sri Lanka need 222 for the win.

  8. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    The Cricket Social statistician

    This is the most wickets Moeen has taken in an overseas Test - his previous best was the seven he took in Durban in 2015-16.

  9. SL 240-9

    Lakmal 8, Herath 1

    Rangana Herath deserved better than to end his career with a golden duck. Especially when he missed the ball by a Toblerone's length.

    He is off the mark now. The last man in Test cricket to have played in the 90s.

  10. Not out

    Umpire Marais Erasmus must have fancied dashing off for one at the Shoulders Arms, Rangana Herath was nowhere near the ball! There was a noise, he must have hit the floor with his bat I think.

  11. Daniel Norcross
    The Cricket Social

    That's missed everything, hasn't it?

    Move on.

  12. Simon Hughes
    The Analyst on The Cricket Social

    He just wants to elongate his Test career.

  13. Sri Lanka review

    Rangana Herath is given out first ball! If ever you're allowed a review, it's with your final ball in the sport...

  14. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent in Galle

    Rangana Herath is getting a great ovation as he walks out for the final time. England gave him a guard of honour in the first innings and they are standing applauding this time around. A nice little gesture from Ben Stokes who goes and slaps Herath on the back.

  15. Simon Mann

    There has been enough in the pitch on the fourth day and England have exploited it well.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Perera c Stokes b Rashid 30 (SL 239-9)

    Really that wicket should go down as c Rostance b Hepworth, we've had a blinder there Nick.

    Adil Rashid strikes again, tempting a false shot from Dilruwan Perera who tries to take the cover off the ball and edges to Ben Stokes, who takes a third catch.

  17. Always worth a try...

    Adil Rashid bowling a bag of nails, a box of liquorice allsorts, taking so much pace off the ball it nearly bounces twice...

    Re: 76.5 overs and suggesting Mo needed a rest...is this the opposite of putting the mockers on? Let's have more of it please!

  19. 6 runs

    SL 238-8

    England two wickets away from victory with a day and a bit left. It looks like being a fine start to this tour.

    But fetch that! Suranga Lakmal has had enough, he can beat the traffic if they get off soon so he advances to Moeen and shovels a massive six into the sightscreens. Dismissive. With one good hand as well.

  20. Suranga Lakmal was sprawling around sans bat but made his ground after being struck, if England would have ran him out it would have been the most 'that's not cricket' thing ever.

    He's going to continue after he has his hand frozen by what looked like a large can of deicer.
