Mickey Wallis: This is evidence alone that our spinners are just not up to it on a regular basis on the world stage. I know Bess got a 5-fer in the first Test, but he’s actually just bowled right-arm pudding pretty much all series and has only got wickets from batting errors.

Image source, Sri Lanka CricketWhen James Anderson dismissed Angelo Mathews in his first over and Mark Wood saw off Ramesh Mendis for a duck soon after, England were well in command.
Sri Lanka were 243-6 and England sensed a chance to roll their hosts over.
Instead, Niroshan Dickwella and Dilruwan Perera have batted excellently for their partnership of 70.
A first Test century will be on Dickwella's mind as he munches on his lunch.

Thanks Amy. How are we all doing? Ultimately a frustrating session for England.
Right, I am done for a while - a rejuvenated Matthew Henry will take you through to tea.

Dickwella has looked splendid today, and has put away all the impetuous shots.
After losing two early wickets, that has turned into a very good session for Sri Lanka, thanks to an unbeaten 70-run stand between Niroshan Dickwella and Dilruwan Perera.
This will be the last over before lunch, and it'll be Sam Curran to bowl it.

Jason Cole: Judge the pitch when both sides have batted...
Dilruwan Perera goes back to Jack Leach and comes perilously close to under-edging the ball onto his stumps.

The left-armer, from round the wicket with the ball angled into his ribs, seems to have got Dickwella going. He's trying to hit every short ball.

Dickwella has had a couple of slices of luck in the last few overs.
Sam Curran appears to be trying some short ball theory, and Niroshan Dickwella awkwardly hoicks him over square leg for a couple of runs.
Dickwella goes after another short ball, losing all shape, but he manages to hustle the ball over Jos Buttler's head and away for four. He's determined to take it on...

Sri Lanka will be delighted they have batted four sessions after the first Test debacle.
Moeen Ali is on drinks duty and he's wearing the best pair of sunglasses on display. I very much want to be friends with Moeen.

Despite a terrifically funky field, Sri Lanka see out Sam Curran's over without any alarm.
Dom Bess is off and Sam Curran is on.

Jim Smith: It's spells like this where you realise what a big hole in this team Stokes leaves when not there. Moeen as well. Both bring so much more balance to our side. no pressure on the batsmen once Jimmy/Wood are off.
