35th over: England 85-3 (Jennings 50, Stokes 2) Perera is replaced by Akila Dananjaya. After missing a couple of attempted sweeps, Jennings gets one away to reach a serene and important half-century, his first in 20 innings. He’s played really nicely.
34th over: England 84-3 (Jennings 49, Stokes 2) Herath, bowling around the wicket to the left-handes, has consecutive LBW appeals against Jennings turned down by Marais Erasmus. The first was outside the line; the second was closer but probably pitched outside leg.
