  1. England's spinners bowled 384 deliveries and went wicketless.

  2. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Dom Sibley has scored two runs, and been out three times, in just 27 deliveries against Lasith Embuldeniya.

  3. Eng 4-1

    So, Sri Lanka's spinners claim a wicket with their 14th delivery. Hmm.

    Jonny Bairstow has trudged out to the middle and gets beaten on the outside edge almost instantly. He's missed that by a mile. A follow-up thick edge drops just in front of slip.

    It just felt out.

    WICKET

    Sibley lbw b Embuldeniya 0 (Eng 4-1)

    For the third time in this series, Lasith Embuldeniya gets Dom Sibley!

    That always looked out, Sibley misreading the length, and he's been struck bang on the knee roll. Because he's so deep, ball-tracking says that is going to clatter into leg stump, and Sibley has to go for a 14-ball duck.

    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    The only thing that can save him is it going down the leg side.

    He should have been getting forward to that delivery.

  7. No inside edge...

  8. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    I don't think that is going over. Dom Sibley looks all at sea.

  9. Sibley has gone so far back into his crease and he's been stuck on the knee roll...

  10. England review

    Dom Sibley is out! LBW!

    He reviews it but this looks good.

  11. Eng 4-0

    Lasith Embuldeniya spins his latest delivery past Dom Sibley's outside edge - that seemed to rise very high...

  12. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Lakmal can't afford to drop short on this pitch, at his sort of pace. It's an easy shot - you don't mind those kind of deliveries.

  13. Eng 4-0

    Now that's a way to get off the mark!

    After a series of 80mph off-stump teasers from Suranga Lakmal, he drops short and gets promptly pulled in front of square for a lovely four.

    This will be interesting - I don't think Crawley has a technical flaw against the spinners, he just made bad decision in the first Test. But I think Sibley has got a few things to think about against the spinners.

  15. Eng 0-0

    Turn from Lasith Embuldeniya but it's going away from Dom Sibley and he can leave it well alone.

    Sibley cracks a couple of shots along the floor and to the fielders, before he slightly reaches for the final ball of the over.

  16. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    It's not about runs for England at the moment - it's about building a platform.

  17. Eng 0-0

    That's an ugly swipe from Zak Crawley, fiddling outside off stump to Suranga Lakmal, and the England opener resets himself for the rest of the over.

    Three maidens on the trot.

  18. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    Lakmal is the kind of bowler these two will have seen a lot of in county cricket - 80mph, swings it a bit.

  19. Eng 0-0

    Lasith Embuldeniya jogs in to bowl and then has to stop as a crow flies right across Dom Sibley's eyeline.

    There's no real turn for the left-arm spinner, and Sibley lets everything drift past his off stump.

  20. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    Suranga Lakmal has not played a first-class match since last August. He's played two in total in the last 10 months.
