Joe Root is just so balanced regardless of if he's playing the conventional sweep or the reverse.

Niroshan Dickwella is tremendously entertaining behind the stumps but I would not take his advice on a DRS call if he was the last man standing.

Joe Root swirls another fine reverse sweep away for four to move within touching distance of another half-century.

There's 13 overs or, more realistically, 25 minutes left in the day's play.

Francis Edwards: Bairstow has a huge problem against quick bowling with any nip at all. Bumrah gets one to jag back, or Shami, and he will just see his stumps flying.

Asitha Fernando tries out Jonny Bairstow with a bouncer, and the England batsman whips his head out of the line of the ball.

This has been a real pressure shift in the last 10-12 overs. Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root have turned the tide.

It is so important that these two are not out overnight.

Shot! Jonny Bairstow dances out of his crease and thumps Dilruwan Perera back down the ground for four.

Dilruwan Perera finds some turn and the ball beats everyone, inclcuding keeper Niroshan Dickwella,and it dribbles away for a couple of byes. Another delivery, patted back to the bowler by Bairstow, takes a huge chunk of the pitch and rises up to whack Perera on the chin. Ouch.

This is a cameo from the England captain but it's just been a masterclass of how to turn the tide of pressure.

He's played with a tactic against the spinners, he's backed himself, and he's caused Sri Lanka to go back to the pace bowlers and he's asking them a question or two.

I think Joe Root was always pretty confident against spin. He's undoubtedly got better - you can see how much work he's put in - but his debut Test against India was pretty strong. It's Pat Cummins who has caused him the most difficulty in recent times but then, Pat Cummins causes everyone difficulty.

John: Does everybody think Root and Bairstow were this confident against spin when they first came into Test cricket? People need time in all conditions.

Asitha Fernando is coming back on.

It's just stupidity. The captain is stood at first slip, he's got one of the best positions, and he's just burnt a review.

That review has brightened my day.

Joe Root, incidentally, is on 40 from 50 (fifty!) balls. Excellent work.

Sri Lanka should probably lose their other two reviews as punishment for that because the ball is going nowhere near off stump.

What an appalling review.

That's missing... ooh, probably a sixth stump? Umpire Dharmasena is still giggling about it.

This looks too high and too wide.

I don't really know why the spinner likes it.

I think you know you've not made a good choice about a review when the umpire starts laughing.

But we're reviewing an lbw shout against Joe Root.

This is a masterclass is batting from Joe Root. He's just gone on from his double century in the last game.

Now it's the reverse sweep Joe Root brings out of his locker, sending the ball sweetly away for four.

He slaps the final delivery of Ramesh Mendis' over away for one.
