4 more. That's the 4th reverse sweep Keaton has played since lunch. Apart from the first one, he middled others well.

If Keaton "The Cat" Jennings does have a good tour here, on the basis of the selectors open view he was picked for ability to play spin, is this also maybe indicative that as an opener in English conditions, we can assume he is rubbish?

Sixer. First of this England innings. Ben deposits it just over the rope.

Going to be a tricky declaration with the weather so uncertain.
Well done to KJ and Stokes.

Sixer. Wonderful connection by Ben moving down the wicket over long on. He has raced to 60 from 88.

Stokes hasn't made a hundred since v the WI in August 2018. No real sense he is under selectoral pressure though.
Overall average, 33.9.

Sixth reverse sweep. Don't think I have seen any England batsmen play so many reverse sweeps in an innings.
Before he got 50 he played none.

Clean bowled. Ben missed it totally. No edge on that.
Well played. Good ball by Dilruwan as well.
181/4.

An important knock by Stokes. Driving the nail into the Sri Lankan coffin.
Nobody has a stance quite like the mighty Shivnarine....

I think Jennings is relishing the role of senior opener.
Maybe all Cooks partners in the post Strauss era struggled in his substantial shadow.
As Sussex said he'll probably revert to shite against a quality seam attack.

Lead to 330 and counting.
Loads of time in the game, but England will have one eye on the weather. If Buttler's still there after tea, quick dart to 400, and then declare?
