60.3 to KP Pietersen, and the plan has worked, it's a brilliant piece of work at slip, but wait, there's controversy. Pietersen went for a drive at a wide ball, nicked to the third slip, Silva, who dived to his left and grabbed the catch low to the turf, it bobbles up and Sangakkara comes from first slip to take the rebound. Pietersen waits as the umpires consult, Harper raises his finger, but TV replays show the ball appears to have brushed the ground before the initial take by Silva. Pietersen waits inside the boundary, as he did at Lord's earlier this year against India, but there's no overturning this decision and he's off. 171/3
93.5 to PD Collingwood, Collingwood left it, Vaas foooled him with the one that came back in, it pitched well in line and would have gone on to hit middle and off. 269/6
2437833.251099004
82.3 to AN Cook, a huge wicket there, Cook trudges off dejectedly and somewhat unamused as the finger is raised for one which pitched pretty much on leg, if not just outside, and would have whirred well on its way outside leg. 237/4
82.4 to RS Bopara, no doubts about that one - too good for Bopara who is beaten immediately with a coruscating yorker, moving away, and he's too late with a vain stab down of the bat. 237/5
96.2 to SCJ Broad, straight and true as you like, rapping Broad low on the pad, the batsman playing down the wrong line. 272/7
2337903.43989001
47.2911652.4522313000
39.2 to MP Vaughan, gone! and what a stroke of luck for Sri Lanka, and poor luck for Vaughan as he flicks this neatly off his pads put straight at short-leg, who somehow manages to hold onto it between his legs...that's a remarkable moment, and gains Sri Lanka a wicket out of nowhere. 133/1
59.1 to IR Bell, and Murali is the man again...round the wicket to Bell, who tries to work it to leg but edges into his thigh pad and the ball balloons up to short leg. For the second time today Mubarak shows outstanding reactions, diving away high to his right...this time there was no luck in the wicket. 168/2
122.6 to RJ Sidebottom, gone this time, finally the stand is broken, rips an off-break across Sidebottom who gets the edge which is well taken by Mahela Jayawardene, diving to his right at slip after a bobble. The ball went close to the wicketkeeper. 346/8
124.1 to SJ Harmison, another for Murali, low full toss and Harmison tries to sweep but gets a top edge to short fine-leg...how Prior will be wishing he'd taken the strike. 350/9
126.2 to MJ Prior, the end of the innings, Prior goes for the slog sweep and gets a top edge, Murali calls for it himself and catches it safely at about midwicket. Another five wicket haul for him and a fine innings from Prior. 351/10

6.4 to WU Tharanga, gone! first blow for England, outside off stump and Tharanga pushes away and sends a thick edge to Prior, who takes a superb one-handed catch in front of first slip. Vital early breakthrough.. 20/1
8.5 to KC Sangakkara, gone! what a huge wicket, and a huge moment in this Test. Outside off stump, a probing line and Sangakkara has a nibble, gets the edge, and another good catch from Prior. 22/2
80.4 to MG Vandort, a breakthrough almost out of nowhere, Vandort plays across a delivery which is heading towards middle and leg, big shout from Sidebottom and Harper raises his finger...looks like it would have taken leg stump and it's a vital wicket, can England make it count?. 249/3
3659512.631567000
146.5 to WPUJC Vaas, another one falls to a short delivery, banged in, Vaas tries to hook but gets his timing wrong and the ball loops off the back of the glove/wristband to slip. Vaas stands his ground but Broad is already celebrating his first Test wicket. 425/7
41.5911132.6519415001
124.4 to LPC Silva, and that came from nowhere ... Harmison bends his back, bangs it in, it climbs, Silva can't get over it, the ball takes the shoulder and loops to Bopara who takes a gentle but low catch at point. 377/4
136.3 to J Mubarak, and the effort pays off this time, banged in, Mubarak can't get over it and the ball loops slowly off the glove to Bell at backward point. 399/5
186.5 to HAPW Jayawardene, finally the breakthrough, extra bounce does the trick as Jayawardene tries to lift it over the slips but gets a top edge through to Prior...a deserved third scalp for Harmison. 548/9
50715123.0221511200
143.2 to DPMD Jayawardene, he tries to repeat the slog over midwicket from the previous over but gets a big top edge and the ball goes a long way up and Collingwood at first slip just has to wait for gravity to do its job. 420/6
155.1 to SL Malinga, another wicket for Panesar, on middle and Malinga tries to turn to the leg side, misses and is hit straight in front of the stumps. Easy decision for Aleem Dar. 450/8
