  1. Mendis has smacked it into the boot! This is going to be out caught.

  2. England review

    England think Mendis has gloved another one as he sweeps and is caught behind.

    Root is off the field and Jos Buttler calls for the review.

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

    Ramesh Mendis has to take the lead. He's in the side as the all-rounder.

  4. SL 78-7

    Lead by 115

    Lakmal resists the big shot and wisely looks like he's going to show at least a bit of patience. He'll be wondering why the top order didn't do the same.

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

    There's a big shot coming here...

  6. SL 76-7

    Hmmm. I still don't think they bowled very well on day one. I think it was fair criticism.

    Bess, much improved, rips one into Lakmal's pads. There's an appeal but it would have missed leg stump.

  7. Get Involved

    Jacob: Were we all maybe a touch harsh on our spinners? The pitch was dead on the first day. They aren't world class but they are no club bowlers either.

  8. Not out

    The lbw is a non-starter as the ball would have missed by a long way. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena made a good decision on the field there.

  9. But they are indeed checking for lbw.

  10. There's no bat on this...

  11. Phil Tufnell

    It's come off the bicep.

  12. Daniel Norcross

    The review is for the catch but they will have to check the lbw too.

  13. England review

    Jos Buttler is certain Mendis has gloved this straight up in the air. Has he?

  14. SL 76-7

    Debutant Ramesh Mendis is still there. He has a first-class triple hundred. He sweeps Leach hard for four.

  15. SL 72-7

    Joe Root is over-attacking. He has himself at slip and Jonny Bairstow at gully. I reckon he has a feeling Sri Lanka are still going to have a swing.

  16. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    The tempation to fling Mark Wood at the tail might get strong, but I suspect England will stick with the spinners.

  17. SL 70-7

    Lead by 108

    Lakmal has come out wearing a cap rather than a helmet. Can he bat as good as he looks? He gets off the mark when Bess drops too short.

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

    This is looking like a team devoid of confidence. They just don't know how to go about their business. They're even middling them to the short-leg fielders. Sri Lanka will be in a world of pain now.

  19. Sri Lanka lead by 107 with Suranga Lakmal at the crease.

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

    He has middled that!
