Danushka Gunathilaka 6(20)
5.5
Moeen Ali to Gunathilaka, out Caught by Stokes!! Sri Lanka lose their first wicket. The slow off-break at 80kph from round the wicket, Gunathilaka presses forward to block and gets a healthy outside edge that settles into the bucket hands of Stokes at first slip. A lollipop of a catch. Pitched marginally outside off and the ball spun ever so lightly to catch the nick. Gunathilaka could have let it go - he probably anticipated it to slide in. The left-hander thudded his bat onto his pad before walking back to the pavilion. Gunathilaka c Stokes b Moeen Ali 6(20)
5.4
Moeen Ali to Karunaratne, 1 run, push-driven to long-off
3.5
Moeen Ali to Gunathilaka, no run, optimistic appeal for lbw as Gunathilaka is struck on the front leg. Pitched outside leg, could have straightened a tad, but that doesn't matter. Gunathilaka was half-forward to block and missed it

2.5
Broad to Gunathilaka, no run, full and on the stumps at 140kph, blocked with a straight bat
2.4
Broad to Gunathilaka, 2 runs, 142kph, but Broad errs in line. Sprays this on the pads and Gunathilaka works it through mid-wicket for a brace
2.3
Broad to Gunathilaka, no run, fuller and closer to off, it was in that nagging zone outside off, angled across the left-hander and Gunathilaka hung his bat out. Whizzes past the outside edge
2.2
Broad to Gunathilaka, no run, away-slanter, Gunathilaka spots the line and shoulders arms
2.1

1.6
Moeen Ali to Karunaratne, no run, very full and almost in the blockhole, jammed out towards mid-on
1.1
Moeen Ali to Gunathilaka, no run, optimistic shout for LBW. Mo is not interested. Drifts and keeps gaining in angle, Gunathilaka prods forward and is rapped on the pads, sliding down leg clearly
0.6
Broad to Gunathilaka, 3 runs, shortens the length and offers room outside off, Gunathilaka stands tall and punches it in front of square. Long chase for Burns from deep backward point and he gets there in time, saved one
0.5
Broad to Gunathilaka, no run, too far outside off, Gunathilaka waves it through to Foakes
0.4
Broad to Gunathilaka, no run, slanted outside off, Gunathilaka lifts his bat and lets it go
0.3
Broad to Gunathilaka, no run, Root appeals for a caught behind. Nothing from Foakes or Broad. The latter even gestures he didn't hear anything. After consulting Foakes, Root opts against the review. In the channel of uncertainty, Gunathilaka prods forward and is beaten by the late movement. Lucky not to have edged that
0.3
Broad to Gunathilaka, wide, this was way outside off, Foakes had to dive in front of second slip to get a glove to it. Right call this time
0.2
Broad to Gunathilaka, no run, this is even wider than the first delivery and umpire Ravi doesn't signal a wide. Broad's stare on that previous decision having a impact. No chance for Gunathilaka to play that
0.1
Broad to Gunathilaka, no run, sprays it down leg, Gunathilaka can't meet with the glance. Missed a scoring opportunity
0.1
Broad to Gunathilaka, wide, Broad is not happy with the decision. It was a tight call. Slanted outside off and it would have been a wide in the shorter formats, but don't think it is in Test cricket. Gunathilaka leaves
