Commentary
40.1
Gus Atkinson to Pavan Rathnayake, 1 run, full on the stumps and Pavan Rathnayake drives it along the carpet to sweeper cover
The required rate is below nine an over, so that’s not an issue. Wickets, however, will be key for both teams from here on.
39.6
Sonny Baker to Pavan Rathnayake, 1 run, whips this to deep mid-wicket and retains the strike. 300 up for SL
39.5
FOUR! Sonny Baker to Pavan Rathnayake, FOUR, shot! Fullish angling in and Pavan Rathnayake backs away a bit and lifts it towards deep extra cover for a good-looking boundary
39.4
Sonny Baker to Sahan Arachchige, 1 run, much better line and length from Sonny Baker! Doesn't give him the line to open up the off side and the left-hander hits it along the ground to long-on
39.3
Sonny Baker to Sahan Arachchige, no run, back of a length angling in and it goes over the leg stump as Sahan Arachchige fails to connect the scoop. Hang on, the replays show it came off the gloves but no one appealed
39.2
FOUR! Sonny Baker to Sahan Arachchige, FOUR, gets the width and the left-hander rocks back and slashes it to deep backward point for a boundary. Sri Lanka are keeping the required rate very much in check
39.1
Sonny Baker to Sahan Arachchige, no run, half-volley on the stumps and Sahan Arachchige drills it to mid-off. This was there to be put away but Sahan Arachchige fails to find the gap or go over the top
38.6
Gus Atkinson to Sahan Arachchige, 1 run, very full on the off stump and Sahan Arachchige drives it firmly to extra cover and eventually had to put in a dive to complete the run
38.6
Gus Atkinson to Pavan Rathnayake, no ball, 1 run, high full toss, and the right-hander swings hard but fails to make proper contact. The ball drops safely in the vacant mid-on region. The umpire calls it a no-ball for height, and a free hit is coming up
35.4
OUT! Sonny Baker to Janith Liyanage, out Caught by Harry Brook!! Janith Liyanage c Harry Brook b Sonny Baker 27(17) [4s-1 6s-3]
Sonny Baker to Janith Liyanage, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
35.3
FOUR! Sonny Baker to Janith Liyanage, FOUR, brilliantly done! Back of a length, and the right-hander arches back to upper-cut it over short third for a boundary. What a quality shot
35.2
Sonny Baker to Pavan Rathnayake, 1 run, fullish and angling in, driven square of the wicket for a single
35.1
FOUR! Sonny Baker to Pavan Rathnayake, FOUR, shot! Makes a bit of room for this length delivery and opens the bat face to time it through deep point for a boundary
Sonny Baker [6.0-0-48-1] is back into the attack
34.6
Liam Dawson to Janith Liyanage, no run, has Pavan Rathnayake been run out at the non-striker’s end? The bowler looks confident. It’s an arm ball on the pads. Janith Liyanage misses the flick as the ball deflects off the pads towards short fine leg. Rathnayake is well down the crease, but gets no response from his partner. The throw comes to the non-striker’s end, and Dawson breaks the stumps, but Rathnayake just makes it back in time
34.5
Liam Dawson to Pavan Rathnayake, 1 run, full on the leg stump, Pavan Rathnayake eases it to long-on for a single
34.4
FOUR! Liam Dawson to Pavan Rathnayake, FOUR, marginally short and Pavan Rathnayake rocks back and launches it towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary
34.3
Liam Dawson to Janith Liyanage, 1 run, arm ball drifting into the leg, Janith Liyanage punches it past the diving mid-wicket fielder and jogs to the other end
Janith Liyanage, right handed bat, comes to the crease
29.2
Liam Dawson to Dasun Shanaka, out Lbw!! Review taken by England for an lbw! But was there bat involved? Nope, there wasn't any bat involved. That's an excellent review by England. Dasun Shanaka was down the wicket to have a wild swing, but connects thin air. Gets hit on the shoe, and the replays confirm three reds. Nothing on UltraEdge, and it was crashing into the leg-stump. Dasun Shanaka can't believe it as he starts walking back to the pavilion. Dasun Shanaka lbw b Liam Dawson 4(11)
Liam Dawson to Dasun Shanaka, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!
29.1
Liam Dawson to Dasun Shanaka, no run, loopy delivery on middle and leg, pushed back to the bowler by Dasun Shanaka

Sonny Baker to Pavan Rathnayake, 1 run, good length delivery around middle and leg, Pavan Rathnayake heaves it towards wide mid-on for a single. A direct-hit at the bowler's end attempted, but it misses. The non-striker and bowler collided at the bowling end, hence the physio is out to have a check. Also, if this had hit the stumps, it would have been curtains for Mendis
