Got to think Sri Lanka's best hope now is a bit of rain.... 186 behind, even with good batting they are surely looking at a 100 deficit from here. Batting last, thats not good.

England fielders would be glad follow on situation did not come. Who would want to field in Asia for 2 days continuously.
Jack back in the attack replacing Ben.
SL 161 /6

Down the wicket to Jack and Niroshan lofted that well bear the ropes for 4. Good connection. 
Had to connect it otherwise would have been a very easy stumping.

Wicket for Moeen. SL 171/7 in 60 overs.
Niroshan out as Jos dives to his left at short cover to take a wonderful catch.

More than an hour's play left today, so England might be batting somewhere before stumps.

One more wicket for Moeen. Probing outside off stump, tempted Akila to play at it, only to edge to Foakes.

Wicket. 173/9 in 75 overs.
Jack gets the wicket of Dilruwan. Easy catch for Jo's at short cover. Second catch at this position against spinner. So credit to Joe Root.

Hearth walks in to bat with all England players lining up on both sides near wicket. 1999 to 2018. Long journey.

Rashid strikes as Jimmy completes the catch offered by Suranga caught out at point trying to deposit the flighted one over long on.
Significant lead of 139 runs.
Moeen has been the chief destroyer with 4 wickets Jack the second best bowler with just 41 runs and two wickets in 18 overs. Most economical bowler for England. Rashid chipped in with 2 wickets as well. Wicket each for Jimmy and Sam.
