  1. Eng 53-1

    Need 111 to win

    Jonny Bairstow survives.

  2. Not out

    As he might well be.

    It was going to be a tricky one to overturn. If it did brush the glove it was at the very top of it.

  3. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    Jonny Bairstow seems happy.

  4. Well, it's certainly hit Jonny Bairstow's arm as he missed a reverse sweep.

    Has it just brushed his glove?

  5. Sri Lanka review

    Niroshan Dickwella likes this - but when doesn't he?

    We're going upstairs to check a caught behind shout on Jonny Bairstow.

  6. Eng 52-1

    Four! Jonny Bairstow reverse sweeps handsomely to the boundary, with one fielder folornly running after it as it clatters into the advertising foams.

  7. Eng 48-1

    Lasith Embuldeniya spins the ball from one hand to the other and Jonny Bairstow pushes it around the corner to get himself off the mark.

  8. Jonny Bairstow and Dom Sibley are out there. Let's go.

    Ahead of the curve. Just the one wicket down while on the nursery run, I’d budgeted for two.

  10. 118 runs needed to win, and 36 overs left in the day.

    What do you reckon? Are we coming back tomorrow morning for an hour's dart?

    England seem to be getting better and better. The India series could be a cracker.

    Joe, Esher

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

    Bairstow is a good batsman to come in as you know he's not going to get bogged down. He's a good reader of the game.

    Very harsh on whichever one of Root or Embuldeniya ends up on the losing side. Herculean performances from both.

  15. Thanks, Matthew.

    England are in a very good position, it has to be said. Lasith Embuldeniya can't do all the heavy lifting for Sri Lanka. He's more than played his part in this Test.

  16. So far, so good for England. But surely there'll be a twist.

    If the light holds this match will probably finish today. Amy Lofthouse will take you to the close.

    Steven Donaldson: Never has a man been more relieved to get in for tea than Sibley right now. Good start from England, surprisingly!

  18. England coach Chris Silverwood is on his feet in the dressing room applauding the two batsmen in. England have a start.

  19. Tea - Eng 46-1

    Need 118 more to win

    And breathe. You've got 20 minutes to get your heart-rate back down below 150.

  20. Eng 46-1

    This will be the last over before tea. Sibley just needs to get through and England will be very happy.
