S Lakmal to J Roy, OUT! A major breakthrough for SL! Length ball around off, Roy swings big, mistiming the shot slightly, lofting it over mid-wicket. Kusal Perara comes in running from the deep and stretches out his hands to collect the ball. Good catch there by Perera. In fact he almost dropped it but did well to hold it eventually.

D Gunathilaka to J Vince, OUT! Pitched outside off, doesn't turn, Vince comes down the track and looks to punch it to the off side. He is beaten as he was playing for the turn and does not make any contact with the ball. The keeper collects the ball and whips off the bails.

N Pradeep to Joe Root, OUT! Root misses out on a ton! On the stumps, Root looks to go for a big shot but misses it completely. The ball goes through and disturbs the ton. He will be gutted but he played for his team and not for his personal milestone.

24.1
D Gunathilaka to E Morgan, OUT! Another good catch, unlucky Morgan once again! In the last game Morgan was dismissed off a blinder as well. Coming to the ball, it was a fullish one outside off, bit of a turn, Morgan lofts it over the cover region but fails to get the timing right. Kusal Mendis runs in hard to his left from point. He reaches somewhere near extra cover, dives and takes a superb catch. Morgan is out and Gunathilaka picks up another wicket.

D Willey to K Perera, OUT! LBW! Length ball outside off, Perera misjudges the length and looks to block it. The ball swings in and hits him plumb on the pads. The umpire raises his finger and calls it out. Perera decides to review it and the decision is taken upstairs. The replay shows that the bowler is well within his crease and the ball goes on to clip the top of the middle and leg stumps. The decision stands and Sri Lanka have just lost their first wicket to Willey.

16.3
L Plunkett to D Gunathilaka, OUT! On middle and off, Gunathilaka looks to flick it but the ball spins in and hits him low on the pads. There is a strong appeal from the bowler and fielders and the umpire raises his finger. This looks like a decision that SL might have wanted to review but both sides have used up their reviews. The replay shows that the ball went on to clip the leg stump and the decision of the umpire would have stood.
Kusal Mendisrun out (Jonny Bairstow)22342064.71

L Plunkett to K Mendis, OUT! Mendis' luck runs out! Fuller ball on middle and leg, worked to mid-wicket. The batsmen go for a second but it's too close. Bairstow throws the ball at the striker's end and Mendis dives but the bails come off in a flash. The umpire refers it upstairs and the replay from the square leg camera shows that Mendis is clearly outside the crease and is sent walking back.
