BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialJoe Root will be a little bit annoyed that he got out - he didn't quite get hold of it. He's gone playing for the team.

All over!
Joe Root thrashes Dilruwan Perera to deep mid-wicket and an almighty innings comes to an end. Quite brilliant from the England captain, and he walks off with his team leading Sri Lanka by 286.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialSri Lanka have lost a little bit of focus here.
Stuart Broad is such a dangerous hitter. It has been a strange old session.
Eng 412-9published at 117 overs
A low full toss is flicked away by a slightly taken aback Joe Root, before Stuart Broad latches on to a short ball and thwacks it down to fine leg for four.
And it'll be four more to end the over, this time over the keepers head!

Stuart Broad survives.

Impact is outside the line, so Stuart Broad survives!
Does umpire Dharmasena just not want to watch him bat? And if so, why?!

BBC Test Match SpecialWe're going to go through the process again - this is going to be one of those long overs.
I think that's hit him outside the line.

Another sweep to another full ball, another miss from Broad...
This looks less out than the last one.

Stuart Broad, I will not mock your use of DRS for at least five minutes.

Gosh, his bat has dislodged a huge chunk of the pitch.

It was a full delivery that hit Broad smack on the toe.
Unless he's hit it, this is out...

Stuart Broad has been given out.
He's DEFINITELY going to review it.

If it's plain pizza, have it cold. If it's got meat, then reheat.
And thus ends my cookery lesson.

In bed watching, cup of tea, about to pop down and get a slice of last night's ham and mushroom pizza. Can't decide whether to have it hot or cold.
