  1. Umpire reviewpublished at 38.1 overs

    Bairstow likes this one! It's a stumping off Rashid on Chameera and the keeper is very confident.

    Four slips in the 38th over from Eoin Morgan. He did his best to get Curran his five-for.

  3. SL 151-8published at 38 overs

    Tom Curran beats the outside edge twice to finish that over but no luck with the fifth wicket. Still, he finishes with 4-35 and that will be a big relief after a difficult year or so with the ball.

  4. SL 151-8published at 37.4 overs

    It is definitely raining. The umbrellas and hoods go up again.

    I remember in English lessons in school teachers would always say that the weather was used in books to reflect the characters' mood. Judging from Mickey Arthur's face that just appeared on camera, this is a pretty accurate reflection of that theory.

    Weatherman Phil Tufnell has just wandered into the box and announced it's raining again.

  6. SL 147-8published at 37 overs

    Sri Lanka are just milking the singles at the moment.

  7. SL 143-8published at 36 overs

    Shanaka 31, Chameera 11

    Tom Curran continues, hopeful for that fifth wicket. He perseveres with a probing length but it's safely negotiated for two singles before a short ball brings another run.

  8. SL 140-8published at 35 overs

    That's not a bad way to get started after a break! Chameera plays a thumping drive past cover for four and follows it up with a bit more of an edge down to third man for another.

    Adil Rashid won't like the ball getting wet and he dries it vigorously with the flannel hanging from his trousers.

    Tom Curran will be hoping to add one more wicket to his tally when play resumes - he has 4-28 so far and here was the last wicket to fall before the rain fell.

    Good news! It has dried up enough to get the players back out there shortly.

    There will be an inspection once all the covers are off. There hasn't been a deluge of rain, so hopefully it won't be too long after that.

    It is the same mistakes being repeated. A change is what we would like to see, that isn't coming. The batsmen are being dismissed in the same way each game, it's just not helping.

    It is too easy for England, I'm sure they are not enjoying it and would like to be pushed a bit more.

    Amongst the wickets tumbling, there have been a couple of big blows. Dasun Shanaka is still there for Sri Lanka on 29 and he will need to hit a few more when the players come back out.

    It looks like they are taking the covers off here.

    There is just a feeling of brightness, and as if the sun is trying to force its way through the bullet-grey sky.

    A few of the umbrella's are starting to come down.

  16. County Championship updatepublished at 13:53 British Summer Time 4 July 2021

    There is still some cricket going on, though, as the County Championship picks back up today.

    Well, it's trying to, anyway. There are rain delays at Lancs v Kent, Sussex v Glamorgan and Hampshire v Surrey.

    Derbyshire are 47-3 against Notts and Yorkshire 48-2 against Northants.

    You can follow all the action here.

    The rain might be falling but at least you can treat yourselves to Jonny Bairstow's screamer to dismiss Karunaratne.

    The rain has set in a little sadly.

    It's a fair question from Charles Dagnall, it has obviously been very one-sided but it has been good to see the likes of Tom Curran, David Willey and Liam Livingstone in the T20s make some contributions, if the likes of Stokes, Archer or Buttler do ever get injured (hopefully not).

    I think it is just a case of not taking your eye off the ball, they are becoming a pretty well-oiled machine at the moment. This is without the world class trio of Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler too.

    You can only beat what is in front of you. They've gone about it nicely.
