  1. SL 81-1

    Target 387

    A beauty.

    Sam Curran has actually recovered well from his struggles in the series so far, but overpitches from the final ball of the over and Kusal Mendis drives elegantly past mid-off for four.

    Steady progress for Sri Lanka. They still need a lot of runs. They just have to stay in touch, but that is what they did the other day, chasing 429.

    You do feel one of these two is going to have to take ownership and put the impetus back on England.

  3. SL 76-1

    Target 387

    England's Liam Dawson in actionReuters

    Good response from Liam Dawson, just three more singles ticked off the rest of the over.

  4. 6 runs

    SL 73-1

    Huge!

    Avishka Fernando sits deep in the crease and rocks back to launch Liam Dawson over mid-wicket for six.

    That puts Dawson under pressure early in the over.

    I said it this summer in the Test matches, but Gus Atkinson is comfortably the most unlucky bowler England have. Constantly having catches dropped off his bowling. He must feel like there is a vendetta against him by the team.

  6. SL 67-1

    Target 387

    England's Sam Curran in actionReuters

    Ah, frustration for Sam Curran.

    He starts the over well, mixing up his pace effectively, but it ends with back-to-back fours for Kusal Mendis.

    He drops slightly too short and Kusal helps it round the corner for four, before a full delivery is drilled down the ground. The 50 partnership comes up between these two.

    It is curious that Adil Rashid isn't playing and that there has been no word.

    I would like to ask, why and what's the plan?

    Is it because of conditions? Is he still your premier spinner?

  8. SL 57-1

    Target 387

    Harry Brook immediately turns to Liam Dawson out of the powerplay. Without Adil Rashid again, he'll have a big role to play here.

    Another quiet over ticks by, increasing the pressure on Sri Lanka.

    Looks like Sri Lanka are sizing everything up at the moment.

    They don't want to leave it too late today. They need to capitalise and set their stall out early.

  10. SL 55-1

    Target 387

    Chipped... just short of mid-on! Sam Curran almost strikes with a slower ball but considering his recent struggles, he'll be delighted to start with a maiden.

    Sri Lanka end their powerplay not too far away from England's - they were 62-0 at the same stage.

  11. Sam Curran replaces Sonny Baker.

    He conceded 103 off nine overs in last week's run-fest...

  12. SL 55-1

    Target 387

    Oh, a stunner.

    Back-to-back fours from Avishka Fernando, the first is a little lucky as he miscues the ball just past Ben Duckett at mid-wicket.

    The second is a cover drive straight out of the coaching manual. Sri Lanka are going along pretty nicely here.

    A wonderful shot down the ground from Kusal Mendis.

    No wonder Harry Brook is talking to Baker about his plans.

  14. 6 runs

    SL 47-1

    Target 387

    Well, Kusal Mendis' new bat seems to have done the trick!

    He thumps Sonny Baker down the ground for another six, and that's the big over they were searching for. 18 from it.

    Having been two off 10, Kusal now has 24 off 17.

  15. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    The ball before was full and straight, so this one Sonny Baker tried to adjust and he just got it too short.

  16. 6 runs

    SL 39-1

    All the way this time!

    Too short from Baker and Kusal Mendis picks up the length so quickly to pull it over square leg.

  17. SL 33-1

    He's woken up now!

    Slammed past Sonny Baker and all the way down the ground for four more.

  18. SL 29-1

    Target 387

    Finally, Kusal Mendis gets one out of the middle! Short from Atkinson, and he bangs it firmly to the ropes.

    He'd been scratching around, and got a bit unlucky with the previous ball as a well-timed drive struck his batting partner at the other end.

  19. SL 22-1

    Target 387

    A productive over for Sri Lanka, and they needed it.

    Avishka Fernando plays another stunning one-legged flick for four off Sonny Baker. It pings to the boundary just in front of square.

    Baker then overcompensates, goes a bit too full and Avishka clips that away too.

  20. SL 14-1

    Target 387

    Gus Atkinson whizzes through a maiden and it's a bit of a scratchy start for Kusal Mendis at the moment.
