- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 dream start from Broad! He gets the key wicket! Jayawardene falls, just nicking a rising delivery from outside off stump through to the keeper, real Test-style dismissal there. England all over this at the moment 26/31.1 Sidebottom strikes straight away! Jayasuriya departs, very sad to see a great player reduced to this. Pitched up, fraction of movement away, regulation outside edge and neatly pouched at second slip 7/12.6 gone this time! Well, Dilshan was playing a shot a ball, and it has not come off. Short again, he tried to hook it off the front foot, but only managed a looping top edge, Wright hustled in from the deep square boundary and dived forward to take a smart catch 20/28.6 big trouble now for Sri Lanka! Sangakkara departs! Swann is creating all sorts of problems out there, another flighted delivery, Sangakkara edged down the crease and chipped a drive down to long off, didn't get enough of it, Pietersen skirts around and collects the catch 47/419.5 another good ball, no mistake yet from Sidebottom, Mathews shoves it down to long on, comes back for a second, but he looks out of gas, the throw comes in one bounce, and beats Mathews 126/616.3 well that was coming. A touch fuller, Kapugedera cleared his front leg away and mowed at the ball, couldn't get much of it and it goes straight to Bresnan at mid off 93/5Extras9 (lb 1, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL128/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.4)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Sanath Jayasuriya, 1.1 ov), 2-20 (Tillakaratne Dilshan, 2.6 ov), 3-26 (Mahela Jayawardene, 4.1 ov), 4-47 (Kumar Sangakkara, 8.6 ov), 5-93 (Chamara Kapugedera, 16.3 ov), 6-126 (Angelo Mathews, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.1 and he's their man, as Kieswetter falls! Searing, inswinging yorker from Malinga splays the stumps. Kieswetter had picked the fuller length and shaped to drive to long on, but that was simply too good for him, and Malinga has made a mess of his stumps. 68/19.4 well, he's just got a little too cute and inventive there. He'd already taken nine from the over, but Lumb shuffles right across to off, exposing all three stumps, and Perera zoned in on leg stump to rattle his timber. They need fives an over, but Lumb got a little greedy there and has paid the price 80/214.1 Collingwood falls, but that's probably come too late for Sri Lanka. He was looking for the big shot on the leg side, but the bottom hand came through just a little too strongly as he swished across the line. A top edge sent the ball straight up in the air, and Sangakkara behind the stumps called for it 113/3Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL132/3 (16 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-68 (Craig Kieswetter, 8.1 ov), 2-80 (Michael Lumb, 9.4 ov), 3-113 (Paul Collingwood, 14.1 ov)
