Key Stats
65.2 Jack Leach to Dilruwan Perera
OUT! L.B.W. Jack Leach to Dilruwan Perera. Stock ball yorker, off stump on the front foot pushing, hit pad to. Hit Dilruwan flush on the boot, and up goes the finger! England have come out all guns blazing after the tea break. Dip from Leach does the trick. The bat comes down late, hits the big toe before the bat, and he's plumb in front. No review necessary for that.Just as Akila walks onto the field, the heavens open, and on come the covers. Disappointing that things have come to a halt. Hopefully that won't be the end of the day's play.Unfortunately that will be stumps. Luckily we have tomorrow to finish things off, though. Three wickets needed for England, or 75 runs required for Sri Lanka. Can Dickwella marshal the tail to victory? Or will the English spinners seal the series for the visitors? It has been a fabulous Test Match either way. Join us for the thrilling conclusion tomorrow morning.

APPEAL! Moeen Ali to Dilruwan Perera. Off break length ball, off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to short leg for no runs, fielded by Jennings, appeal made for L.B.W. Half a shout for LBW, but height is the issue here. Root asks Moeen, he says it's too high. HawkEye suggests the same.

A clear bounce before it goes into the hands.

62.3 Moeen Ali to Angelo Mathews
OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Moeen Ali to Angelo Mathews. Off break length ball, off stump on the front foot working, hit pad to. My word. The scenes in Pallekele. Mathews has played so well, but gets out third ball after tea. Moeen rips one from round the wicket, passes the inside edge, and thumps into the front pad. Crucially, the umpire raises the finger. The review came, and it shows umpire's call on hitting the wickets. Clipping the top of leg! To make things even more intense, it looks like there is rain just around the corner.

Sri Lanka get through to tea, and you would say they are now in the ascendancy. Angelo Mathews is playing a heroic knock, and the others are chipping in with handy scores too. England becoming increasingly frustrated, and are perhaps trying too hard to search for the wickets. Just 82 more required. Thrilling final session to come.
