    8.2 full and fast, a foolishly pre-ordained swipe across the line, as if expecting something shorter, but Plunkett's extra zip is onto him before he can get his shot in order. The ball spirals into the sky, plops into Jos Buttler's gloves behind the stumps, and that is a handy breakthrough! 32/2

    0.5 attempted leave, fat inside-edge, back goes off stump! Very cagey from Danushka, half forward, tentatively combatting the swing but so much indecision in the space of 22 yards! 3/1

    21.2 short ball, Mendis takes it on... and sends it sailing straight into the grateful hands of deep square leg! He deserved the praise for a composed fifty but that was a little bit daft from Mendis, trying to shift the scoring rate on but holing out rather tamely in doing so 88/3

    35.5 very full, too straight to work to leg with a cross-batted wipe. Chris Jordan steadies himself at third man and that was never going to be dropped! Understandable ambition from Chandimal but he picked the wrong shot for the wrong ball 168/4

    43.1 smashed across the line as Jordan drops back of a length, a steepling top-edge, and Buttler makes good ground on the leg side to snaffle a vital chance! 209/6

    36.5 flipped off the pads, high and hideous to Jonny Bairstow at deep midwicket. The intent was fine, but he got right underneath the shot and Plunkett has another key breakthrough. He's made a big impact today in his three spells. 171/5

    48.6 bowled him! Line and length, nipping off the deck, trimming the bails on the top of middle stump and Thranga has a wipe across the line and connects with thin air! 242/9

    44.6 turns sharply, and deflected to short third man. No run remotely possible there, but this is excruciatingly tight as Shanaka is sent back, quite rightly, by Tharanga. Buttler whips off the bails and there is a solitary frame in this decision. And after a long deliberation, Bruce Oxenford says out! In all honesty, I'm not convinced the bail was entirely out of its groove, but it's a total judgement call when things get that tight. And the worst bit of judgement was the attempted run in the first place! 215/7

    48.5 short but not that short, pulled ambitiously through the leg-side, Root and Bairstow circle beneath it, Bairstow makes the call, guzzles the chance, and Sri Lanka's faltering charge falters once more 242/8
