  1. Eng 30-1

    Jacques Kallis applauds Sibley as he does well to steal yet another signal. I think slump into an embarrassed mess if the great man applauded anything I did.

  2. Eng 29-1

    Shot! Dom Sibley with a crunched sweep along the ground for four. Really, really good batting for a man under pressure. He's into double figures now.

    It's a no-ball too. Every little helps.

  3. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Every ball is gripping. It is just what everyone needs - the needle and ebb and flow of Test cricket.

  4. Eng 24-1

    Target 164

    There isn't the pressure on England I expected. Yes, there is danger from a spinning pitch and men around the bat but the scattered field is allowing singles to flow. Three from the over.

    If my maths is right, England are 15% of the way there.

  5. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Was he serious?!

  6. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    That might be the most optimistic lbw shout I've ever seen.

  7. Eng 22-1

    Ramesh Mendis and Niroshan Dickwella go up for appeal that even Tim Paine would have known wasn't out. The most optimistic appeal you'll see.

  8. The first bowling change of the innings sees Ramesh Mendis replace Dilruwan Perera. Spinner for spinner.

    Bairstow, Root and Buttler need to get at least 120 of these between them.

  10. Eng 21-1

    Sibley 5, Bairstow 2

    More sweeps than Victorian England from Bairstow. It looks like his best chance too with a front-foot push almost seeing him nick to the keeper.

    Sibley nabs another single.

  11. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I wouldn't have minded a little go on this pitch!

  12. Eng 19-1

    Target 164

    Have Sri Lanka ever seen Dom Sibley bat? They have three close catchers but the rest of the fielders are spread far and wide. I'm not sure he's going to slog sweep for six like Jos Buttler.

    What a tour Rory Burns is having...

    Teddy in Great Bookham

  14. Eng 19-1

    A sign of intent from Bairstow. He gets outside the line of off stump and sweeps hard out into the deep to get off the mark.

  16. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Zak Crawley's figures in this series have been 9, 8, 5 and 13. That's 35 runs at an average of 8.7.

  17. Eng 17-1

    Target 164

    Jonny Bairstow joins Dom Sibley in the middle with 147 more runs needed. The noise around the bat has gone up a notch.

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

    That's a beautifully paced delivery, just the right amount to get the revolutions on the ball. It was a simple catch for Fernando.

  19. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    That is a beauty.

    WICKET

    Crawley c O Fernando b Embuldeniya 13 (Eng 17-1)

    Ah.

    Me and my big mouth. Zak Crawley is undone by a beauty from Embuldeniya which turns, bounces, takes the edge and goes to slip via a flick off the keepers' gloves.

    Crawley didn't do a lot wrong. That's the trouble with a pitch like this.
