    Not one spectator was stretched or bothered, and yet all the players were on the ground. There must have been some people wondering what on earth was going on. If you're new to that game you'd go home going "not only do they stop for a drink but halfway through the game they all lay down! Stressful game, cricket!"

    Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Apart from Karunaratne, who got out to the first ball of the day, every single Sri Lanka player has got into double figures - but none have passed 30.

  8. SL 198-9

    Suranga Lakmal sneaks a single down to fine leg to keep the strike for the final over.

    Kagiso Rabada finishes with figures of 2-36 off 10 overs.

  9. dropped catch

    Lakmal dropped on three

    Faf du Plessis has dropped a dolly.

    Suranga Lakmal slaps one down to the South African captain at mid-on but he shells a low but simple catch.

    Ex-England assistant coach on BBC Test Match Special

    To be fair, Udana's done well to reach that. He's been quite set in the way he plays - he gives himself some room. he's a better player than that. That suggests the pitch is a little tougher than we were thinking.

  11. wicket

    Everyone was laid flat out on their stomach apart from Faf du Plessis! It was a synchronised belly flop, everyone hit the deck.

  17. Paul Farbrace
    Ex-England assistant coach on BBC Test Match Special

    Should we shut the window?

    The bees have arrived!

  19. Everyone is literally planking on the floor.

  20. SL 194-8

    Everyone is on the deck because we've got an invasion of bees at Chester-le-Street.

    The umpire has got his head buried in the ground.
