- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR29.2 goes to paddle sweep but like Root it's popped a catch up to Sangakkara and that completes a real grind from Cook since passing fifty, slowed right down. Trying to tuck it around the corner, it took a decent top edge and looped up behind the keeper who spun 180 degrees, took two steps forward and claimed the easy catch 136/414.6 gone this time! What a mixture from Mendis (and Bell). The batsman can barely believe it. Pops a dolly of a return catch to Mendis as the ball, just short of a length, stopped in the pitch which meant Bell played too early. 76/120.1 and he strikes first ball! Length outside off stump, Ballance went to play it into the covers but, like Bell's dismissal, it totally stopped in the wicket and Ballance popped a catch back to the bowler. Another bonus for Sri Lanka, a pretty ordinary delivery getting stuck in the wicket 98/223.2 full, Root goes to reverse sweep and misses, there's two cries, one for lbw and then, when the ball popped up to Sangakkara, for a catch behind. Not out given on both counts but they go for the review and it looks straight off the glove. Yep smack bang off the glove, straight up and Sangakkara takes the catch walking a yard in front of the stumps 116/330.5 back of a length, Morgan tries to help it around the corner but gets a top edge and it carries all the way to deep backward sqaure. That's a very bad wicket for England to lose. Morgan got it slightly wrong and that was dangerous the way he tried to play it, had he tried to whack into Harborne it may well have gone for six 142/537.2 another horror show for England! Bopara goes to pull a short ball, which he completely misses and gets bowled between his legs as the ball dips slightly under the shot. Credit to Mendis as well, though, as it was delivered slower 170/643.2 drifts onto the pads, clipped away fine and this pair are very rapid between the wickets 199/747.3 nine down! A awful mix-up. Jordan nudged to the leg side. Not sure there was ever a single but Anderson kept on running and Jordan had no chance in the end 218/944.6 cleaned up! Full and straight, Tredwell misses trying to drive through the off side 201/848.1 all over! A slower ball completely defeats Anderson as he hoicks to leg.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 a skip down the wicket, slapped into the off side but in the air and Root dives to catch at cover a fine flying take to his right-hand side and England get a much-needed wicket. Dilshan didn't get the elevation on the stroke and it was an excellent catch from Root 55/110.5 full at the stumps, huge cry for lbw and given him out! Perera goes for the review almost immediately but there's nothing on Hot Spot nor on Real Time Snicko. Height could save Perera here but no, Hawk Eye has the delivery taking a good smack of the top of off stump, far more than "umpire's call" might suggest. Classic full inswing from Anderson and England are moving here 62/39.6 floated up, sharp turn squares Sangakkara up takes a thick edge that's taken by Jordan with an outstanding leap to his left, outstanding take because that went sharply off the edge but it was the sharp turn that did for Sangakkara, it pitched on about middle and leg and ragged right across the stumps 59/238.4 full length and Jayawardene goes to drive down the ground and gets it all wrong, putting it high into the sky and straight to mid-off. Extraordinary stroke, he was in complete control put didn't time this at all, sending it high and Anderson didn't have to move to take a straightforward catch. Perhaps didn't quite come onto the bat as Jayawardene would have liked 160/4Extras18 (lb 6, w 12)TOTAL222/4 (48.2 Overs, RR: 4.59)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Tillakaratne Dilshan, 7.2 ov), 2-59 (Kumar Sangakkara, 9.6 ov), 3-62 (Kusal Perera, 10.5 ov), 4-160 (Mahela Jayawardene, 38.4 ov)
