    Barry Mingard: You can tell how exciting this cricket match has become when it's torn me away from Homes under the Hammer!

  2. Eng 121-4

    Target 164

    43 to win.

  3. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    You can see why he gave that not out - it is not a bad decision at all.

  4. Not out

    Umpire's call it is!

    Is that three out of three for Dom Sibley on umpire's call?

  5. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    I think it's close. It has hit him inline, I reckon umpire's call on height.

  6. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    It's too high I think.

  7. Now, this has turned sharply back into Sibley, but it looks a bit umpire's call-y to me.

    Chandimal reviews an lbw shout against Sibley...

  9. 'Very strange tactics from Sri Lanka'

    Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Sri Lanka have to do something different to Dom Sibley - they need wickets.

    It is brilliant for Sibley just to be able to rotate the strike. They shouldn't have had any fielders on the boundary to him. It has been a very strange tactical display from Sri Lanka - with the bat and ball today.

    Need 45 runs to win

    Singles, singles, singles. Easy for England. Rubbish from Sri Lanka.

  11. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    A lot of credit has to go to Dom Sibley and the way he's played in this innings. It is totally different to the other three innings and it shows why England rate him and like him.

    He is prepared to work out a method, and has an ability to find his own way of playing.

  12. Eng 118-4

    Target 164

    This field makes absolutely no sense, to my admittedly very untrained eye. Why is the field so spread? Why is no-one trying to stop the singles? Why is there someone in the deep in case Dom Sibley goes slogging?!

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

    The game is still on a knife-edge but if the spinners get it right then anything is possible.

  14. Eng 113-4

    A reverse sweep and another lovely, thudding drive from Jos Buttler allow England to hustle some precious runs from Dilruwan Perera's latest over. 51 runs needed.

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

    I hope we get out of this situation quickly but part of me thinks maybe cricket needs to stay in bio-bubbles for a bit longer because the drama, the skill and the up and down unpredictability nature of the cricket has been incredible.

    Target 164

    One thing Sibley has got noticeably better at is finding the singles, which was something he was - unfairly, in my view - criticised for during England's home summer.

    John Petrie: This innings could be the making of Sibley.

  18. Eng 105-4

    Sibley 37, Buttler 6

    This is very good from Dom Sibley. There was footage of him working in the nets yesterday, spending a lot of time with the coaching staff. Every moment at the crease counts.

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

    Buttler is in the mood - he knows how to play the pressure card. You can see it in his eyes.

    Target 164

    Now that I'm working from home, I tend to have some music on when the cricket is on, and I usually leave a Youtube playlist on shuffle. I've only just noticed that for the last 15 minutes, I've been narratting England's collapse to the sounds of every single song from The Simpsons musical episodes. I was wondering why I had the Monorail one going round and round in my ears...
