Bit of a collapse. Handy score though.

I'm writing off SL. 119 needed off 8, 5 down. Haven't even needed Rashid.

Presume he'll bowl now. Need a fifth bowler.

Curran gets another. Wasn't sure he'd get a bowl.

Still no spin. Going to have to bowl spin at the end.

If it goes that far.

Wicket maien for CJ.

peasy in the end

Kusal Mendis, Danushka Gunathilaka and Niroshan Dickwella have all been suspended by Sri Lanka Cricket for quarantine crimes. Walking around Durham.

Startling contrast between bowlers this morning.

Woakes 5-4-6-2
Willey 4-0-35-1.

Wood is playing so England have got the 3Ws on the field.

Amazing stuff from Woakes, he turns the game again. 9-5-13-4.

Credit to Willey for the three wickets too.

170-8 off 40.

Didn't bat their overs out. Hussain and Atherton must be going crazy.

Another comfortable win, thanks to Willey and Woakes. Not really an impressive chase though.

did the ground look good? was it the 50% capacity?

at least the weather was brilliant for it

Did Beefy express his surprise that people hadn't gone indoors to watch the football, like he always used to? Spot the person who has never had to fork out to go to a cricket match in his life

Roy is playing ahead of LL. Woakes is out, presumably not dropped. Tom is in.

I guess Wood is due an injury.

3 in 2 overs for Sam. England bowlers are having a good series.

Time to give Mo a bowl.
