5.25pm: So, a decent eighth-wicket romp, worth 63 in 9.2 overs, has helped Sri Lanka up to what they will hope is a defendable score. Tharanga in particular used all his old-school nous to prevent the innings subsiding after Dinesh Chandimal and Angelo Mathews had provided the middle-order ballast. Are they a little light? England will be confident but we'll refrain from counting chickens/exit polls for now. Join us again in half an hour for the thrill (we hope!) of the chase...
"Good fightback by the Lankans," chirrups teja. "Stage is set for another cracking match"
