18.2 to JL Denly, takes pace off, does for Denly, who holes out to long-on! Malinga gets his man, but not before Denly had struck a few blows... Tried to hit straight but dragged across it, completely mistimed and this time the simple catch is taken. 173/6
18.3 to BA Stokes, Malinga hits! Low full toss does the job! Stokes' hard-scrabble stay is ended, he throws his head back, thinking he should have smacked that... but the dip and swerve sent the ball thudding into off stump. 173/7
302929.6676000
3.2 to JC Buttler, tossed up, this spins a touch, Buttler drives off the back foot... but sends it straight to cover! A miscued effort, and he'll head off disappointed. 41/1
3.5 to AD Hales, grips and spins, Hales sweeps... trapped in front! And he doesn't review! That initially looked pretty plumb, though on second view it may have been sliding a touch leg side. Umpire Wimalasiri thought long and hard before raising his finger... Two in four balls for Aponso!. 45/2
302418.0041100
19.5 to AU Rashid, poleaxed! Full and straight, Rashid clears the front leg but only manages a thick inside edge into his stumps! Udana strikes with the penultimate ball of the innings. 185/8
403919.7591410
10.6 to JJ Roy, spinning away, wide of the stumps, Roy goes reaching for a cut... and Dickwella is convinced he's edged it! Roy reviews, but Ultra Edge has picked something up! Roy looks disgusted, but probably as much with the shot as the decision. 107/4

14.2 to MM Ali, bowled him! Slides this under the bat, Moeen heaves down the ground, misses and Dhananjaya hits! A neat cameo from Moeen but he's swung his last for tonight. 145/5

0.6 to BKG Mendis, bowled him! And Denly strikes in his first over back! A violent slog across the line, perfect length, doesn't turn, doesn't need to turn, as the middle stump is pegged back. Scenes at the Premadasa!. 7/1
2.5 to N Dickwella, bowled him again! A near-replica of that first dismissal, Dickwella playing for the spin and just playing across the line as a result. Good flight and dip, pegging back off stump, and Denly has two!. 16/2
19.4 to NLTC Perera, low full toss, clobbered out to deep midwicket, and Denly has his third of a renaissance night! Probably his worst ball of the day, but it matters not. The end of a fine captain's knock, and it's all over bar the slogging. 156/9
19.6 to SL Malinga, Denly has four on his comeback! Full and straight, Malinga plays all round it, and that is a very comprehensive win!. 157/10
4040010.0073200
402927.25113100
15.4 to I Udana, crashed to mid-off! Made room, tried to get under the ball, but scuffed his stroke straight to Stokes. That's another limp dismissal with Perera running out of allies. 119/7
15.6 to MA Aponso, yorker, nailed. Second ball, right in the blockhole, clatters the base of middle stump. England are nearly home. 119/8
401132.75140000
6.5 to LD Chandimal, reverse sweep, times it well, but Hales saw him going, and snaffles the catch! There he was, lurking down at deep backward point, perhaps unnoticed against the crowd. But that's a big wicket for England. 49/3
10.1 to PHKD Mendis, tossed up, into the slot, spanked to deep midwicket! Mendis had a go, but got a fractional top-edge on his slog sweep, that's a timely breakthrough. 77/4
10.3 to DM de Silva, very full, raps the pads ... is that actually missing much! England are reviewing. It is leg-sided, but very adjacent... sure enough, it's taking out leg stump! Two in the over for Rashid, both of the set batsmen, England very much in command. 77/5
2024112.0052210
14.5 to MD Shanaka, full, straight, back goes the off stump! Sneaks the slower ball through Shanaka's wild slog, and that's a good riposte, albeit a pretty flimsy shot. 110/6
