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...

Woakes to Tharanga, 1 bye, fired across, slightly wide and rising over Tharanga's horizontal swish, they run anyway and Buttler misses with a shy at the stumps

"Good fightback by the Lankans," chirrups teja. "Stage is set for another cracking match"
