1.40pm tea Great innings for Sri Lanka who recovered from a tricky start to take 92 from the final 10 overs and have posted a very handy total indeed. Kumar Sangakkara has been the star with a wonderful century. England had their chances but have let Sri Lanka slip away badly to a big total that will take plenty of chasing. England need to win to stay in the series remember and their chase begins in 25 mins when Gnasher will return...

Jordan to Chandimal, OUT, yorker length and aiming off side. Very full and very straight - amazing how simple the game can be sometimes. Chandimal misses leaning across having backed to leg and loses his off stump

Jordan to Mendis, FOUR, back of a length, tried to follow the batsman backing away but he's able to swing it away and finds the gap wide of long leg
Final over to be bowled by Jordan, not Finn. Can Sri Lanka sneak up to 300?
