10.06am So England have a lead of exactly 300. Sri Lanka will need 301 to level the series. Both teams did their job this morning. Sri Lanka got the one wicket they required in 20 minutes or so, but England added precious runs. Now it will be up to the bowlers to complete the work that's been done over the previous innings so far.
