8.25pm Normally, we would've seen Kusal Perera walk out to open. Doubt that will be the case now. Sri Lanka could've done with his bruising approach upfront in this small chase. Now, they will need to find another batsman to play that role or graft his way in. There's plenty of time, literally all the time in the world to get these runs, but it won't be easy facing Gabriel, Holder, Roach and Cummins under lights. It should be a fascinating final session.

Kumara to Roach, 1 run, OUT, mix-up, miscommunication and I think Gabriel is gone. Worked towards square leg, chances himself with a second but Gabriel is late to turn, and so is sent back when he does. The throw is flat and by the time he dived back, he was well short of the crease. Sri Lanka need 144 to level the series.
