• ‘You feel you’re going to get hit at times’
In the first innings when the wicket was sleeping and the Sri Lanka batsmen were cruising it was Ben Stokes’s brilliance in the field that reignited England.
On another steamy day in the field it was the turn of a contrasting character – Keaton Jennings – to change the direction of the game. This will bring a warm glow to Trevor Bayliss, who has always emphasised how a moment or two of brilliance in the field can change the course of a match.
