    4.3 oh, and he just un-did his good work, back of a length, he goes to scoop it over his head and does just that but he skies it high! Jos Buttler has all the time in the world to wait for it to drop into his gloves and England have another wicket 31/2

    1.3 oh my! Fullish and he's spooned that straight to Chris Jordan at mid-off! Safe hands there, Jordan only had to take a step to his right and he gobbled up the catch. An early breakthrough for England. 3/1

    13.1 tally hooooooooooo... but plopped to mid-off! KJP comes down but slices across a googly and Jordan only has to jog in from the rope and steady himself for a simple catch. Rashid amongst 'em now, this is getting messy for the visitors 79/5

    7.5 full and right on middle stump, he goes to sweep across the line and is struck on the pad! It hit him pretty low. Sri Lanka review, UltraEdge shows no bat involved and ball tracking shows it's hitting! England get another wicket and Sri Lanka lose a review. 49/3

    8.3 short ball, well outside off, he goes for a high cut but it sails into the air and straight to third man! Sri Lanka lose another 52/4

    19.6 length ball outside off, pace off again, top-edged to the keeper! Slogged straight up and Buttler walks forward a few paces to swallow the chance. So Shanaka falls to the final ball, but he's helped give the innings a sheen of respectability 129/7

    15.4 loops this up a bit more, slogged down town... and that's a gimme for Jordan at long-on! Can't fault Hasaranga's thinking, that is a short hit, but he couldn't get enough power through the shot. Taken at chest height a couple of yards in 96/6
