    Surely that was outside the line...?

    Dan Lawrence goes for a reverse sweep, is struck on the pad, and Dilruwan Perera sends it upstairs.

    I get the feeling there won't be drama. England will win, I'm pretty sure of that. We must credit Sri Lanka with the last two days - the first two days they were awful - and it really bodes well for the next Test.

    It'll be Dilruwan Perera to bowl the first ball of the morning, and Dan Lawrence comes down the pitch and pushes it away.

    I wonder what impact the overnight break will have - on everybody.

    England need 36 runs to win.
