Prabath Jayasuriya to Ollie Pope, OUT! CAUGHT! The change of angle has done the trick for Prabath Jayasuriya! The plan comes to fruition for Sri Lanka. Jayasuriya serves it on a fullish length from over the wicket, on middle, Ollie Pope goes for the reverse sweep but this comes off the toe end of the bat. It pops up tamely towards first slip where Dhananjaya de Silva takes the simplest of catches. After completing the catch, the Sri Lankan skipper points his finger towards the bowler, saying 'I told you'.

Milan Rathnayake to Dan Lawrence, OUT! LBW! This looks straight but Dan Lawrence has reviewed it straight away! Did he get some bat on it? Or is it going over? Rathnayake bowls it with a scrambled seam and gets the ball to nip back in off a nagging length, on off. Dan Lawrence is caught on the crease as he looks to defend with a straight bat and gets beaten on the inside edge to ping him on the flap of the back pad. There is no bat involved on UltraEdge and the ball is clipping the middle stump on Ball Tracking. It is umpire's call and therefore, the on-field decision will stand. Sri Lanka have their third wicket with England still requiring 135 more runs.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Harry Brook, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Big wicket for Sri Lanka! They have been provided with a much-needed breakthrough by Prabath Jayasuriya. Jayasuriya bowls it flatter and fuller just outside off, drifting it in. Harry Brook strides out and looks to push it past the bowler but he gets the connection from the inner edge. It goes uppishly to the left of the bowler. Prabath Jayasuriya stays low and picks the catch near his shoelaces to give his team an opening. England lose their fourth wicket in the form of Harry Brook. They are now 119/4, requiring 86 more runs to win.
