END OF OVER:
50 | 5 Runs 1 Wkt | SL: 286/9 | RR: 5.72

  • Farveez Maharoof31 (30b)
  • Chris Woakes10-0-56-2
  • David Willey10-0-56-2

5.20pm: That felt like a laboured effort from Sri Lanka but we will reserve judgement until England have had a bat. SL were 56 for 3, then 197 for 6, so they won't be too disappointed with making 286, Mathews doing the bulk of the heavy lifting... but England fill fancy chasing it, on a ground where they hunted down 350 this time last year. Anyway, symmetry fans will be delighted to see Willey and Woakes finished with identical figures, and I'll leave you with some much-anticipated pics of the action. Join us again in half an hour for the second dig...

Woakes to Maharoof, 1 run, OUT, no... it's pitched up towards the blockhole and punched down the ground, they desperately try and come back for two but Lakmal is well short as the throw comes in and Woakes breaks the stumps

One ball left, can Maharoof conjure a boundary?
