Callum Matthews and Timothy Abraham

  1. SL 76-5

    Ooohhh!

    Mark Wood beats Wanindu Hasaranga's outside edge with the hat-trick ball. That is is unlucky.

    The two slips (!!) put their hands on their head.

  2. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Mark Wood was hit for four off a ball back of a length so comes steaming in, bowls it short and gets a wicket. That ball seemed to be up there for an age so it was a great catch by Jonny Bairstow. Your head is like a gyroscope when you chase the high ones.

  3. Ian Bell
    Former England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    Wickets just keep falling at all the wrong times for Sri Lanka.

  4. wicket

    WICKET

    Dickwella c Morgan b Wood 3 (SL 76-5)

    Mark Wood is on a hat-trick.

    Niroshan Dickwella backs away, and gets a leading edge to Eoin Morgan in the covers.

    Another simple catch. England are all over the tourists here.

  5. wicket

    WICKET

    Mendis c Bairstow b Wood 39 (SL 76-4)

    Mark Wood gets his revenge straight away.

    This is superb from Jonny Bairstow too.

    Kusal Mendis tries another heave, but can only catch the top edge and it goes an ABSOLUTE mile up in the air and Bairstow does really well to make up the ground to square leg and takes a good diving catch.

    The wind is swirling around in Cardiff so don't underestimate how good a catch that was.

  6. SL 76-3

    Now Mark Wood replaces Chris Jordan.

    Kusal Mendis welcomes him back by slotting him over mid-on over four more.

  7. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    Would I like to see Adil Rashid back in the Test side? We certainly loved having him there. But you get the feeling he loves having that white ball in his hand. He's so confident and has been an integral part of England's success with that format in the past few years.

  8. SL 72-3

    Niroshan Dickwella is the new batter for Sri Lanka. He's got a lot of talent, but he's inconsistent.

    The tourists need him to fire here.

  9. Ian Bell
    Former England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    That partnership was just gathering some momentum and putting some pressure back on England, but now another player has got to come in and start again on nought which is never easy.

  10. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    He's been completely done in the flight and off the pitch. I think Jimmy Anderson might have to teach him how to play a reverse sweep. He's tried to absolute muller that and it's an easy catch.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Perera c Morgan b Rashid 21 (SL 68-3)

    Easy catch for the skipper.

    I want to praise the intent of Kusal Perera here, but it's not the best shot to be honest. He gets down on one knee, attempting to reverse sweep Adil Rashid, but he tries to absolutely clobber it, and Rashid tricks him by bowling it slightly slower.

    Perera can only cue end it to Morgan at cover.

    Sri Lanka just can't get going.

  12. Alex has absolutely nailed the facial expression to be fair to her.

    Top work.

  14. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    Chris Jordan is not happy! As England's best fielder he would have backed himself to take that.

  15. dropped catch

    Perera dropped on 19

    SL 65-2

    Should Dawid Malan have done better here?

    He seems to misjudge it at fine leg, and doesn't quite there, so the ball just brushes off his fingertips and hits the turf.

  16. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    That was top tier! A fanatastic shot by Kusal Mendis who has used the momentum of the ball to carry it round for six. Sri Lanka need a bit more of that

  17. Ian Bell
    Former England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    To think that Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes aren't playing in this series is frightening, but competition for places is always good and brings new energy to a side.

  18. 6 runs

    SL 62-2

    Upper tier! What a shot from Kusal Mendis.

    He stands still, and waits till the ball is right upon him and just shovels it over fine leg for the first six of the night.

    He's up to 30 now. He's playing a good hand.

  19. Chris Jordan replaces Mark Wood.

    Eoin Morgan has the luxury of six bowlers, so he's able to rotate and change them about.
