    The crowd are up and about, they know they're close to heralding the England skipper.

  2. Eng 225-3

    Harry Brook to 99...

  3. Eng 223-3

    A single brings the attention back onto Harry Brook.

  4. Eng 222-3

    A good slower ball from Eshan Malinga almost bowls Jacks.

  5. 6 runs

    Eng 222-3

    Will Jacks' first six is a flat-batted whack over mid-wicket. I really like him in this role.

  6. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    He's just trying to keep it out of Harry Brook's swinging arc. By bowling that wide line it means if he wants to hit it on the on side then he has to drag it. But you're playing with fire.

  7. Eng 216-3

    Brook 97, Jacks 2

    The record is gone for Harry Brook as, amid three wides, Dasun Shanaka limits the scoring off the bat.

  8. Eng 210-3

    Good fielding keeps Harry Brook to two. He needs a six to equal the record.

  9. Eng 208-3

    Only four. Give it up, Harry...

  10. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    200 comes up in grand fashion!

  11. 6 runs

    Eng 204-3

    There's one of those sixes for Harry Brook.

    Will he know? I doubt it...

  12. Eng 197-3

    A great over from Dusmantha Chameera leaves Harry Brook needing three sixes from his next three balls to break the record for England's fastest century.

  13. Will Jacks has been promoted to number five. He played superbly as England's finisher in the World Cup earlier this year.

    WICKET

    Banton c Shanaka b Chameera 10 (Eng 195-3)

    Pulled to long-on. Tom Banton was running well but never really found the middle.

  15. Eng 195-2

    Brook and Banton are pushing and turning for two every time. Brook is calling for these. It's unselfish running from the skipper because he could easily put himself in trouble.

  16. Sri Lanka haven't had much to cheer...

  17. Eng 191-2

    We almost, almost, had an over without a boundary. That's until Harry Brook bashed another straight again.

    Brook is 81 from 34. Phil Salt's record was from 39 balls.

  18. How's stat?!

    England batters' strike-rate v spinners this evening:

    • Front foot - 196
    • Back foot - 204
    • Down the track - 200

    No place to hide for the spinners this evening.

  19. Eng 184-2

    A dot ball to Harry Brook! He wants it to be called a wide.
