Good comeback. Straight after being whacked for six, Liam Dawson throws it down wider. Dasun Shanaka gets an under-edge and Jos Buttler takes a smart catch.

Shanaka has got the power. He's probably the most powerful hitter in the Sri Lankan team and he got the ball exactly where he wanted.
A rare poor ball from Liam Dawson - a shin-high full toss - is pumped over mid-wicket by Dasun Shanaka. The Sri Lanka fans in the crowd like that one.
England have still fielded pretty well even with that drop...
The outfield had already looked slow after a lot of morning rain. That slip hints at why.
Old Trafford has had drainage issues before.
Three runs from another impressive Jamie Overton over.

Oh dear!
Tom Banton moves towards a regulation catch at long-off but at the crucial moment he slips. He ends up flat on his back on the greasy surface.
It's wet down there in front of the dressing rooms in particular.
These two, Kamindu Mendis and former skipper Dasun Shanaka, may be Sri Lanka's last chance of a competitive score.
Harry Brook has a slip in for new batter Shanaka but after he gets off strike Mendis reverse hits Adil Rashid over third for four.
Mendis 18, Shanaka 1
The call wasn't great, the fact the striker didn't move was poor. Even Charlith Asalanka's dive could have been better.
Poor cricket all round.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt almost felt like Jacks had missed the stumps, the bails took a time to fall off. It was Asalanka's call, the striker didn't have any interest in that run. A really good throw from Adil Rashid.
Asalanka run out (Rashid) 13 (SL 84-4)
It's out! The confusion between the batters resulted in Charith Asalanka being sent back and an accurate throw from Adil Rashid did the job. Will Jacks wasn't initially convinced but the Sri Lanka captain is short by a yard.
Asalanka is short of his ground here...
Is this a run-out? I'm not sure Will Jacks even broke the stumps cleanly...

Image source, PA MediaYou thought something had to give with Asalanka, he was chewing up balls. You have to say that's a really good shot.
That energy drink has, indeed, done the trick for Charlith Asanlaka. He heaves Will Jacks over wide long-on immediately after the break.

Asalanka needs to get his intent up - all the other batters have tried to take the game on.
Three from Jamie Overton's first over of seamers banged in front his height. Charith Asalanka has taken 12 balls to get to seven. That's something for him to think about over his energy drink.
There are plenty of eyes on England today...
