Glad to have had your company today. From Alan, Thilak and I, Shashank, it's goodbye. Don't forget to join us at 9.30am tomorrow for all the build-up leading up to the first ball. George Dobell's bulletin will be up soon, while we will have post-day pieces from Andrew Miller and Andrew Fernando. You don't wanna miss those.

Joe Root is chatting with the host broadcasters: "Felt great, to be in a position we are right now after having lost the toss is pleasing. We had a clear message to play each individual bowler, wanted to minimise risk as much as possible. I've changed a few things. Tried to get more rhythm into my batting, get triggers that I can do that gives me rhythm to things. Looks different to previously, but feels good. Trying to clear my mind.

"I've spent lot of time with myself, had so much time to look back, watch cricket around the world. Learning off my peers, it's important to do that. The way Kane has been batting has been unbelievable. We've also got some great coaches, trying to tap into their minds, Kallis, Collingwood, Graham Thorpe. 2020 was lean, I expect a lot from myself, nice to have started well, it won't mean half as much if we don't get a result out of this game. Means more when we win, hopefully we can get a few early wickets and hammer home this advantage."

5.20pm The light is poor and they're walking back to the pavillion. So that could be it for the day. What a sterling comeback from Sri Lanka. Backs to their walls, with a big, big deficit to wipe out, they come back in with the openers putting together a century stand. But they'd be gutted to have lost Kusal Mendis at the time he was dismissed, just a couple of overs before they eventually walked off for bad light.

All said and done, Sri Lanka's first goal would be to wipe out these 130 runs losing no more than a wicket or two, and then try to drive the game forward so that they have something to bowl at on a wearing final-day surface. So much cricket left to be played still, but make no mistake. There's little doubt that England are the happier side still.

Finn: "I don't understand how the umpires are allowed to deem it to dangerous to bat due to the current light. I don't think Joe Root or Dom Bess are life threatening bowlers and Embuldeniya seemed fine facing that last over." - They have a set reading, and once it goes below that, it doesn't matter who bowls. Unlike earlier, they can't ask the batsmen either.

Five close-in fielders now

Nightwatchman in Lasith Embuldeniya comes out. Sri Lanka believe we may not be out thee for much longer.

The light meters are out. The umpires are having a discussion
