England's lead is 139 runs, massive in the context of the match and with Sri Lanka having to bat last. England's top order have the chance to put this match completely beyond Sri Lanka, if they atone for their first-innings mistakes. How will they fare? We'll be back with their innings soon.

Leach to Herath, 1 run, tossed up on leg-stump and that is turned away to fine leg quite expertly. Nothing that suggested 'tail end batsman' about that
