    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I think the issue will be where this pitched.

  2. Sri Lanka review

    Eng 103-4

    This might be close. Joe Root...

  3. Eng 103-4

    We share our text message system with the other sports, so we're currently being inundated with messages about England's selection in that rather important football match taking place in less than an hour.

    Fair enough, people wanted Foden/Grealish/Mount, but at least they are there. The England cricket team would have sent them on holiday in the name of rest and rotation.

  4. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Joe Root astounds me in ODI cricket - he never seems to play a big shot and then he always seems to be 30 at about a run a ball, as he is again today.

  5. Eng 101-4

    Moeen Ali is wearing light blue/turquoise batting gloves that match his shirt. They are magnificent. Like a spearmint.

  6. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    England will be frustrated. Three of the four wickets were avoidable, batting errors. Now they have to look to these two to settle things down.

  7. Eng 99-4

    Thanks, Callum. I've been triple-cooking things.

    It doesn't work with cucumber.

  8. Eng 96-4

    Target 186

    Joe Root and Moeen Ali are batting with patience at the moment and take five singles off Dushmantha Chameera. It's good, sensible batting.

    With England past half way in their run chase it is time for to hand you over to Stephan Shemilt to take you home.

  9. Russel Arnold
    Former Sri Lanka all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Sri Lanka have made inroads, but they need a couple more wickets. Do they have the bowlers to back it up? England bat deep.

  10. Eng 91-4

    Target 186

    Wanindu Hasaranga has only impacted the came with runs and this catch, what can he do with the ball?

    Just a couple of singles off his first over.

  11. Sri Lanka turn to spin for the first time today as Wanindu Hasaranga comes into the attack.

  12. Russel Arnold
    Former Sri Lanka all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    There have been exciting moments and frustrating moments. Sri Lanka have hung in there.

  13. Eng 89-4

    Target 186

    Moeen Ali gets off the mark with a steer down to third man, before a poor bit of fielding gifts Joe Root a couple of runs.

    England need 97.

  14. Here's how Dushmantha Chameera dismissed Eoin Morgan.

  15. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special

    If the catch off Moeen was taken, you'd make Sri Lanka favourites.

  16. Eng 85-4

    Target 186

    Oh, Joe Root. This is so good. He leans on a drive, and shouts two, but he's timed it so well it races to the boundary. The man on the cover boundary was absolutely nowhere it.

    At this stage Sri Lanka were 62-3.

  17. Chameera got some tap from Jonny Bairstow, but he's come back and got Eoin Morgan and Sam Billings now.

    Sri Lanka are in this game.

  18. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    It's good captaincy to bring Chameera back. He's bowling with good pace.

  19. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    Billings was staring at the pitch. He miscued it.

  20. dropped catch

    Moeen dropped on 0

    He's dropped first ball!

    Moeen Ali has a tentative push first up, with very little foot movement, and a healthy nick is dropped by Kusal Perera.

    The Sri Lanka captain goes one handed, but should he have gone two handed? It's an opportunity he'd expect to take.
