24th over: England 81-3 (Burns 36, Buttler 10)
23rd over: England 79-3 (Burns 35, Buttler 9) Buttler laps Pushpakumara for consecutive twos before being beaten by a slower delivery that rips past the edge. He responds with two more two from a reverse sweep and a lap sweep. England were criticised for their skittish approach on the first morning at Galle but I think they’ve judged it very well here. There are booby traps everywhere on this pitch so they can’t just try to bat time.
