Woakes is batting like Stokes, dealing in boundaries and playing like shite.

He played a gorgeous straight drive last night. He looked less like a bowler having a bat when he played that.

Mo looks like a million quid when he middles it. But he seems to poke one through the slips/gully every twenty ball.

Typical left hander.

Woakes starting to get runs.

I'm itching for us to declare so we can get stuck into them.

Obviously they want Ali to get his 50 first.

No rain forecast. Might as well bat until tea.

Since tea yesterday the ball has seamed beautifully, should be ideal for Broad and Finn.

Not sure I really understand this captaincy from Mathews. Allowed England at least 100 runs more than they could have got.

Well done to Moeen.

Second ton scored from number seven in the series.

Kusal showing a little resistance at least.

53/3. Harker will be getting twitchy.

Second Test. England v Sri Lanka at Riverside. 27/5/16.
