Thirimanne gets away with that a little bit. Dom Bess has bowled a tight line to him, so it's the first time he's got any width.

Oh, Dom Sibley was about a centimetre away from grabbing that ball at short extra cover...

Dom Bess lets his disappoinment show with a short delivery that is mullered by Lahiru Thirimanne for four.

That's Thirimanne into the nineties...

Dom Bess gets away with a short delivery as Lahiru Thirimanne gallumphs it to cover point, who makes a bit of a mess of stopping the ball.

Oh! That would have been a stunner! Thirimanne drills Dom Bess towards cover, not quite timing the shot, and Dom Sibley's terrific, one-handed effort is in vain.

This is Lahiru Thirimanne's highest score since 2013.

He has now ended his sequence of not reaching 70 - 53 in a row, which is a record in Test innings for a top-six batsman, beating Devon Smith of West Indies (51), and Allan Lamb (41).

It is a fine effort from someone who has struggled in this format.

I've got this and the Gabba Test on, which you can follow thanks to commentary from our chums at ABC Grandstand. Quite nice, sitting on the sofa under a duvet because I'm too cheap to put the heating on, with two lots of cricket playing.

It's a horrible job being a nightwatchman.

I was quite angry about being it once so I did just go out and swing. We were playing Kent at Canterbury, and I'd bowled about 30 overs, and David Gower told me to get them on.

I went in on a hat-trick in the first over. I'll be honest, the hat-trick ball wasn't negotiated with quite the confidence and focus it should be.

That's better from Dom Bess, finding some spin sharp enough to beat the outside edge of a flat-footed Lahiru Thirimanne. It's a better length from Bess - no gimme balls as of yet.

That's sure to improve Stuart Broad's mood, as he offers up a bit of width to Lahiru Thirimanne and watches the ball get thrashed straight through a diving Dom Bess at backward point to go for four.

Thirimanne tries to repeat the shot and this time Bess fields it cleanly. A wise move, given the look on Broad's face right now.

Angelo Mathews is the new man at the crease for Sri Lanka, who trail by 128 runs.

That all happened so low key that nobody has done anything. There's no high fives or celebrations. Lasith Embuldeniya just walks off.

Embuldeniya dropped on 0published at 62.3 overs

62.3 overs

Oh!

Calling this a drop is unfair, but Zak Crawley has just spilt a toughie at short leg.

I'd have gone for Jack Leach at the other end personally.

I thought he bowled some beautiful deliveries, when he got it right. He got a little bit of turn and those two would offer you the most control and threat as a pair I think.

And at the opposite end, it'll be Dom Bess, who didn't have a good day yesterday. He was run out for nought - a brutal bit of burgling by Joe Root - and struggled for consistency with the ball.

Stuart Broad knows that his job is absolutely to keep everything as tight as he possibly can.

He hates giving away runs, as we know, him and Jimmy Anderson.

A rare bit of width from Stuart Broad, and Lahiru Thirimanne clonks a drive away into the off side for the first runs of the day.

Bang on the money as always from Stuart Broad first up, and Lahiru Thirimanne defends the ball to mid-off.

The word from Galle is that the weather seems better today than it has been throughout the game.

The game is set up nicely, and while you still strongly fancy England to win it, you just never know.
