  1. Not out

    Yep, no bat. As you were.

  2. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    I think this is a speculative one.

  3. Pretty sure this is just front pad as Niroshan Dickwella has gone forward...

  4. England review

    Now then, what's this come off?

    Zak Crawley has taken a good catch at short leg, but has Niroshan Dickwella got any bat on ball?

  5. SL 51-5

    Sri Lanka should be following the Joe Root model - work the singles. That's how to put the pressure on, especially with England having spread their field, waiting for the batsman to make a mistake.

    This is panic stations from Sri Lanka. I can't imagine the coach has said "get as many as you can as quick as you can". You have to play with more control than this.

  7. SL 51-5

    Lead by 88

    Ramesh Mendis plays two horrible looking shots and almost gets caught behind on the sweep, before another delivery spins inches past the off stump. It's not the cleverest cricket you're ever going to see, I have to say.

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

    Do Sri Lanka realise there is a fifth day?

  9. SL 51-5

    Oh, hello. Ramish Mendis, on a pair, is off the mark with a sweep that clears short leg and runs away to deep backward square for four.

  10. Sri Lanka lead by 84 runs, with 20 minutes to go until lunch.

  11. Jack Leach has figures of 6-0-21-3.

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

    That is a horrendous shot. Jack Leach has three-for from just bowling nicely. Sri Lanka don't seem to have the skill and application to play.

    Chandimal is the skipper. He can't be playing shots like that.

  13. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Terrific, terrific catch from Anderson.

    WICKET

    Chandimal c Anderson b Leach 9 (SL 47-5)

    Another superb take!

    An awful shot, a great catch, and Sri Lanka are in all sorts. Dinesh Chandimal goes for another huge slog sweep but Jack Leach has speared this a bit fuller, and he doesn't get underneath the ball. A top edge flies high into the air and Jimmy Anderson has to do a superb bit of judgement to run back, keep his eyes on the ball, and cling on as the ball comes down to earth. This is daft.

  15. SL 47-5

    Well, that's one way to counter the spin - a big ol' slop sweep for four from Dinesh Chandimal!

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

    There is so much there for the spinners. You just have to get it full and land it. Every bad ball and boundary hurts you. The pitch is exploding.

  17. SL 43-4

    Beauty! Absolute fizzer from Jack Leach, getting a full delivery to spin past Dinesh Chandimal's outside edge and then nestling into Jos Buttler's gloves.

    That's a poor ball though, short, and Chandimal cuts it for four to get off the mark. I think that might be the first boundary of the innings.

  18. What have you missed?

    It has all been happening in Galle while you have been asleep.

    England only added five runs this morning before Jack Leach was dismissed. England were bowled out for 344 with Sri Lanka taking a lead of 37.

    But since then England's spinners have come to the party.

    Dom Bess and Jack Leach have taken two wickets each. Sri Lanka are 37-4 and only lead by 74.

    Game on!

  19. SL 37-4

    I do realise that England still have to bat on this track, by the way. But seeing their spinners grow in confidence and use this deteriorating pitch for their advantage is not only fun, it is a huge positive for the upcoming Tests in India.

  20. Niroshan Dickwella has come out, which guarantees things will be entertaining for the next half hour.

    Four wickets in the first 15 overs, and all to the spinners! Tremendous work. Still, the lead is 74...
