18.5: Sonny Baker to Dilshan Madushanka, OUT! TAKEN! Sonny Baker gets his second wicket and hammers the final nail into the coffin of the first innings. Sri Lanka have been bowled out for 124. Pitches it fuller, on the fourth stump. Dilshan Madushanka clears his front foot, trying to slog it across the line, but ends up getting the connection from the upper half of the bat. The ball loops up high toward mid off, where Harry Brook has to take a couple of steps to his front to scoop it near his chest. 

18.4: Sonny Baker to Dilshan Madushanka, Hard length, outside off, Dilshan Madushanka looks to cut it away, but chops it down the deck off an inside edge.

18.3: Sonny Baker to Dilshan Madushanka, Back of a length, angling in, on off, Dilshan Madushanka defends it off his back foot.

18.2: Sonny Baker to Dilshan Madushanka, Baker tries to offer a yorker but spills a low full toss, on middle. Dilshan Madushanka tries to push it back to the bowler, but ekes out an inside edge and gets thumped on the pad.

18.1: Sonny Baker to Dilshan Madushanka, Huge appeal for LBW, but the umpire shakes his head as it is clearly going down the leg side. Overpitched, slanting in, on middle and leg, Dilshan Madushanka misses his flick and wears on the pad.

17.6: Jofra Archer to Nuwan Thushara, Just beats the off stump! Good-length delivery, with pace, just outside off. Nuwan Thushara makes room and tries to defend. The ball just glides past the off stump after beating the outside edge of the bat.

17.5: Jofra Archer to Wanindu Hasaranga, OUT! HIT WICKET! A bizarre dismissal. When it rains, it pours, quips Kumar Sangakkara, and that really sums up the Lankan innings. Pace taken off by Archer, on a good length. Hasaranga has a swipe across the line but he fails to pick the change of pace and is through his shot early, which results in him failing to make any connection. The follow-through of his bat goes ever so close to the stumps, and it ends up clipping the top of the woodwork when Wanindu sinks to a knee.

17.4: Jofra Archer to Wanindu Hasaranga, On a length, around off and middle. Wanindu Hasaranga heaves it from the inner part of his bat to deep square leg. He turns down the single.

17.3: Jofra Archer to Wanindu Hasaranga, FOUR! Oh, what a shot that is! Archer pitches it much fuller, on middle. Wanindu Hasaranga clears his front foot to drill it away toward the left of the mid on fielder and gets a crucial boundary.

17.2: Jofra Archer to Eshan Malinga, OUT! ESHAN MALINGA IS RUN OUT! Another one bites the dust. Angled in on a good length, on off. Malinga stays back and stabs it beside the strip on the off side before scampering through for a quick single. Archer can't get to the ball but Liam Dawson swoops in from a catching cover and picks the ball up cleanly. He opens up his body to be able to have a shy at the bowling end. He scores the direct hit with an underarm throw, with Eshan being well short.

17.1: Jofra Archer to Wanindu Hasaranga, At 135 kph, on a length, Hasaranga swings for the hills. The ball flies down to deep third off a thick outside edge. Adil Rashid sprints to his left and so nearly gets beaten by the spin. He overruns the ball but manages to stick out the right hand and make the stop. Just a single.

16.6: Jamie Overton to Eshan Malinga, Short of a length, pitching it well outside off and shaping away. Eshan Malinga rocks back and tries to slap it over cover, but gets beaten on the outside edge.

16.5: Jamie Overton to Tharindu Ratnayake, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Jamie Overton has his first wicket. It is the off-cutter by Overton, angled across off from over the wicket, on a length. Ratnayake hangs deep in the crease and clears his front leg. He has a big heave across the line with his body weight on the back foot. The ball catches an inside edge and deflects back onto the stumps. Sri Lanka are now 7 down for 119.

16.4: Jamie Overton to Wanindu Hasaranga, Full and angled in at the pads. It was there for Hasaranga to cash in with fine leg up inside the circle. He opts to just nudge it towards square leg and pick up a single.

16.3: Jamie Overton to Tharindu Ratnayake, On a back of a length, on off. Ratnayake takes a step towards the leg side initially but manages to reach out. Slaps it to deep point and gets to the other end.
