Another good anticipation catch by Keaton at short leg second of this series off whatever I have watched.

Jack gets Gunathilaka for 18. SL 31/1 in 11.4 overs.

Joe drops second catch at slop of Broad's bowling. Dhananjaya Silva survives on 42. Very poor fielding by Joe. Can't drop such regulation catches.

SL lucky to be 94/1 courtesy Joe Root.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Stuart must be about to burst.

[Durhamfootman]

catches win matches, Joe

Direct hit by Rashid. Run out. SL 224/9

Drop Stokes!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Four wickets for Rashid. Can anyone remember England winning a series before around a three spinner attack? I suppose it's been rarely tried.

Three for Gentle Ben, ensuring he gets picket for the team of the series in one of the pace slots.

4 catches for Keaton at short leg. He has had a significant impact on this series by his batting and chanceless fielding at short leg.

[Arthur Crabtree]

He and Stokes. Must be the Durham fielding coach.

He and Stokes. Must be the Durham fielding coach.

Ben 1 was mixed bag in fielding. He took few good catches in slips and dropped two in first test. Keaton has been chance less in a more tougher position.

But yes, he is a top class fielder more often than not.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Apparently Foakes looks injured. If only England would be allowed a sub keeper.

4 catches for Keaton at short leg. He has had a significant impact on this series by his batting and chanceless fielding at short leg.

He's a hopeless slipper but a very decent short legger, tends to mess up when he has time to think about the catch.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good point. He does miss them in the slips. As James Anderson will testify.

[meninblue]

SL 240 all out. Rashid 49/5.

96 runs lead is match winning given the spin that will be on offer when SL bat last and England has three spinners. England huge favorites imo.

240 all out from both 222-5 and 173-1, collapses of English proportions!
