Comfortable catch for Jacob Bethell. Janith Liyanage is trying to keep this down, and because of the height of Will Jacks he can't get the length right.
Big wicket for Jacks. Huge wicket for England.
Liyanage c Bethell b Jacks 17 (SL 97-6)
England have a much-needed wicket and Will Jacks punches the air in delight.
Janith Liyanage is down on his knee, slog sweeping, but he cannot quite get the distance on it and Jacob Bethell pouches a catch in the deep.

A lot of chaps saying Will Jacks isn’t good enough, seems like he’s doing alright to me.

Jacob Bethell rattles through an over of left-arm spin.
Six runs off the over.
Sri Lanka need 32 off 30 balls. England need wickets.

This is why you don't judge a pitch until both team bat. 130 is an extremely competitive score on this pitch.
James, London
Another lbw shout for Will Jacks to Dunith Wellalage. Harry Brook declines to review, then looks at the big screen and thinks 'what if?'

I wish Rashid was 10 years younger. Such an underrated player.

Will Jacks, looking the business with his tour stubble, with a handy over for England. Just four runs conceded off it.
A powerful sweep from Janith Liyanage, who gets down early and rolls his wrists over the top of one from Adil Rashid and the ball races away behind square for four.
Sri Lanka with a productive eight runs off the over.

This is gripping (as is the pitch!) - give me a tricky, tense 130 run chase over a 220 a side slog-a-thon every day of the week!
George, Gloucester
The wicket brings drinks.
Sri Lanka have two new batters at the crease.

Will Jacks has struck. England are fighting back.
That changes things. The pressure is back on Sri Lanka now.
Mendis c Rashid b Jacks 26 (SL 62-4)
And another!
Kusal Mendis attempts to sweep Will Jacks but ends up top-edging it into the grateful hands of Adil Rashid at short fine leg.
England are cock-a-hoop.

That is so well bowled by Adil Rashid. This one turned sharply back and beat Pavan Rathnayake all ends up.
Rathnayake b Rashid 13 (SL 62-3)
Image source, ReutersA couple of balls later and Adil Rashid strikes.
Pavan Rathnayake gets himself into a bit of pickle by attempting to come forward to the England leggy only to change his mind and fails to pick the googly which skids on and hits the stumps.
England battling back.
