Wicket a little overdue. SL slight favourites I think.

Intriguing situation though.

Niroshan as usual not believing in Tuk Tuk. Reverse sweep on 3rd ball he faces. 4 though.

Rain stops play. Covers on the wicket.

Great intervention from Mo, with the two crucial wickets.

Still feels like there will be a close finish.

A rain break normally assists the bowlers, but England could have done with a few balls at the new batter first.

Might be a new ball at the denouement of the game?

Dubious catch claimed by Gentle Ben?

Sounds like there won't be any more play today, and there will be thunderstorms tomorrow...

Interesting ball tracker on that last wicket. Ball hits the foot on the full and ball tracker I guess has to assume going on straight from there to hit outside edge of leg stump, even though if it has pitched it would more than likely have spun and hit middle and off.

Happy series for Scrumpy Jack. Joint top wicket taker with 12 and leading the averages at 20. Had to wait his turn and then a bit more.
