Sri Lanka Vs England Live Cricket Score - 3rd Test - Full Scorecard

D Perera to Burns, OUT! Bowled 'em! Burns misses a straight one and the ball hits the off stump. Burns has looked tentative this morning with his footwork. He plays on the back foot to one that he should've probably been ahead to. The ball is flatter and skids on after landing to hit the off pole. Rory rocks back to cut it but is beaten. Sri Lanka celebrate as they draw first blood.

M Pushpakumara to Jennings, OUT! What an inspired fielding change by Lakmal. Leg slip had just been placed there after the previous ball and Jennings guides it straight into his arms. The ball was on middle and Jennings looks to turn it away fine with the spin. To his dismay, there was Roshen Silva waiting for just that who takes a good low catch. Walked right into the trap there is Keaton. Jennings waits for a bit, no idea why. The umpires then ask him to keep marching towards the dressing room. Good start for Pushpakumara, wicket in his first over.

Sandakan to J Bairstow, OUT! Bowled 'em! Leg spinner on off, spins back in. Bairstow gets low and looks to heave this one away. Doesn't get to the pitch of the ball, not in perfect shape, takes his eyes of the ball and finds his stumps broken. Wonder how much fatigue was in that shot? But a wonderful innings comes to an end. Out of the side and made the most of his position to almost cement his spot. Has given England the upper hand with his great 100. Second wicket for Lakshan Sandakan.

Sandakan to Joe Root, OUT! Wicket against the run of play and at a totally unexpected time. The ball was flighted and going the other way, Root goes for a slog above mid-wicket but top edges this one high in the air. Gunathilaka has all the time in the world to come underneath it and pouches it comfortably. Root will be fuming, misses a fifty but mainly will be sad because of the way he has been dismissed. Nevertheless, a good partnership comes to an end.

L Sandakan to Ben Stokes, OUT! The stand is broken on 99. Stokes has been drawn on to the front foot and has been caught at slip. Third good ball on the trot from Sandakan and Stokes has come ahead to drive it. Looped up outside off, Ben just manages to get an outside edge which is gobbled up easily by Dhananjaya de Silva at slip. The southpaw is disappointed and Sri Lanka have got another wicket against the run of play.

Sandakan to Buttler, OUT! This ones' stuck in Sandakan's hands. The ball is a nothing one on off but holds up slightly in the pitch. Jos is early into his push shot and the ball lobs right back at the bowler. Sandakan in his follow through does well to put his left arm up and the ball gets stuck. This is his fourth wicket. Are Sri Lanka quietly making a comeback in this last session?

D Perera to Ali, OUT! Ali walks right into the trap set for him. Four dot balls in the over and he goes for a big one and just chips it straight to the fielder set for this exact shot. The ball is looped up generously by Perera and Ali dances down the wicket to hit it over the fence. Perhaps wanted to go over long on but in the end, just chips it straight to long off where Matthews makes no mistake. The Sri Lankans are very happy to have got the main man this early who had just started to time the ball well.

M Pushpakumara to Foakes, OUT! Dickwella holds onto one and Foakes has to depart. A bit on the shorter side outside off, Foakes looks to cut it way. Extra bounce on this one and he gets a nick to the keeper who makes no mistake. They appeal and the umpire raises his finger. England lose their seventh wicket and some smiles for the hosts towards the end of the day.

L Sandakan to Broad, OUT! Bowled 'em! Broad misses this one completely. The ball was looped up full on middle, Broad goes for the paddle sweep and misses the ball that goes on to hit the middle stump. 5-wicket haul for Sandakan, his second in Tests.

D Perera to Leach, OUT! What a catch! Angelo Mathews has taken a stunner. Tossed up ball around off, Jack Leach comes down the pitch and looks to go big. Gets more height towards long off. Mathews there runs back, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a stunner before tumbling over. ENGLAND ALL OUT FOR 336.

J Leach to D Gunathilaka, OUT! Keaton Jennings take a beauty, AGAIN! He has made short leg his own. Given air on middle and leg, Dimuth once again looks to go big on the on side. Uses his feet but gets it off the inner half and onto his pad. The ball goes towards Jennings at short leg. Now then, seeing Gunathilaka charging down, Keaton moves along with him. The ball hits his body and Jennings holds onto it. You can argue that he was lucky, but to be brave and stand tall in that position is something else. Very well taken. Danushka was always looking a little uncomfortable out there in the middle.

A Rashid to Karunaratne, OUT! Third catch for Keaton Jennings. Loopy ball on off from Adil. Karunaratne prods forward to block it but gets an edge which goes straight in the hands of Keaton at short leg. For a change, this one is quite simple. Dimuth walks back after a very good knock and England strike straight after Tea.

A Rashid to Silva, OUT! Finally a wicket for England! Jennings is surely making a name for himself as a short leg fielder. And this is so much more better because of the concentration level that a player needs to keep in such conditions and during such a time in the game. Coming to the ball, it was a flatter one on middle, Dhananjaya who has been motoring along so well guides it straight to short leg. Jennings is nice and low and pouches it beautifully. The stand of 142 comes to an end. Important breakthrough for the visitors. A good innings though, by de Silva.

A Rashid to K Mendis, OUT! Catching practice being given here. The ball was short and turning away outside off. Kusal looks to guide it down to third man very late but guides it straight into Stokes' hand at slip. Rashid is spinning this game back into England's favor here! That's his fourth.

Ben Stokes to Mathews, OUT! The catch is clean but not from Jennings. Is that allowed? Mathews has to take the long walk back and Sri Lanka lose another quick wicket post Tea. Stokes bangs it short again outside off, Mathews looks to pull it but gets it off the toe end and onto his shoulder, lobs up towards the keeper. Foakes moves to his right then dives low and takes a good catch. The umpires take it up to check weather it is clean and replays do justice. Great passage of play for England.

A Rashid to R Silva, OUT! Jennings again! This is what we are talking about! Only he is allowed to take them. Another blinder. What a game he is having and just making his compilations of catches at short leg look even better. Googly from Adil on middle and leg, Silva looks to stonewall it but it goes towards Keaton. Jennings with cat-like reactions stretches his left arm out, the ball is almost behind him but he still manages to hold onto it. Great stuff. Rashid gets his third while Keaton gets his fourth.

Ben Stokes to Dickwella, OUT! A very soft dismissal. This one is short and going down leg. Dickwella tries to guide it down to fine leg but gets the slightest feather off the bat and the ball carries to Foakes who takes a good low catch. Sri Lanka have lost wickets and undone all of Dhananjaya and Dimuth's good work. England will be looking to go for the kill now.

Ben Stokes to Perera, OUT! Another one for Big Ben! His third of the innings. Short ball from around the wicket and Perera wants to keep it down but the ball goes off his glove and to Foakes who takes a good diving catch to his right. This ploy of bouncing batsmen out from around the wicket has worked like magic. Sri Lanka eight down and once again, England have somehow clawed their way to a position of strength.

Ben Stokes to Sandakan, OUT! Comedy of errors by the Lankan tail enders here. Just finding different ways to get out it must be said. This ball is short and outside off, Sandakan drops it with soft hands onto the off side towards mid off. Rashid misfields and then the Lankan batsmen set off for a single but he hits the stumps with a direct throw from mid off. Sri Lanka have completely derailed here!

Rashid to Pushpakumara, OUT! Pitching in line! Three reds and Pushpakumara has to depart. Five-wicket haul for Adil Rashid and also his career best innings figures. Leg spinner on leg, Pushpakumara is back looking flick it but misses. He gets hit on his pads and the visitors appeal. The umpire raises his finger. Sri Lanka opt for the review, since they have two in the bag. Three reds and Sri Lanka are all out for 240. ENGLAND TAKE A LEAD OF 96.

D Perera to Burns, OUT! Plumb in front and follows suit of his opening partner. The ball is looped up on middle and Burns completely misses his flick to be rapped in front of middle. Looks back at Bairstow, his partner perhaps ask him if there was an inside edge, Rory shakes his head and continues walking. Second wicket for Perera. The umpire checks for the front foot and it is very close but fine.

Perera to Jennings, OUT! Gone first ball! Sri Lanka couldn't have asked for a better start. A drifter from Perera and lands on middle. Jennings is ahead to defend and plays down the wrong line. Gets hit on the pad, and the umpire's finger goes up after a bit of thinking. Keaton considers reviewing but in the end, just continues walking. The replays show that the ball was just clipping leg stump and the decision would've stayed if he had reviewed.

D Perera to J Bairstow, OUT! Dilruwan gets his third! Shorter and on middle, Bairstow looks to flick it away but finds short leg. Kaushal Silva, the substitute fielder takes a smart catch. Jonny who got a beautiful hundred in the first innings walks out cheaply this time! Sri Lanka slowly but surely clawing their way back in the game. Need to keep up the pressure though. England effectively 131/3.

Pushpakumara to Root, OUT! The previous ball drops short but this one carries surely! Another one bites the dust. This time, it's the skipper. A huge wicket for the hosts. The ball is on middle and straightens after landing. Root closes the face of the bat too early and the ball takes the leading edge back to the bowler. Pushpakumara dives to his left and takes a great catch. England seem to be in a hurry here. From being 99-0, they are now effectively 135-4! We seem to be having a game on our hands.

D Perera to Stokes, OUT! No third time lucky for Stokes! And guess what? Dilruwan has his leg well inside the popping crease on this occasion. The ball was looped up outside off, Stokes comes charging down and wants to go for a maximum over mid on but his connection is poor and the ball goes towards long on. Pushpakumara there dives forward and takes a good low catch. Stokes knew it straight away that he wasn't clearing the fielder. And must be disappointed considering that is an unwanted shot at that stage after getting a four off the previous one. England are now effectively 224-5.

L Sandakan to Buttler, OUT! Brilliant bowling by Sandakan and finally a wicket for him. Sees Buttler charging down the wicket so darts this way down leg. Buttler who comes using his feet so well finally misses one this time. That spun enough for Jos who tried adjusting to it. Dickwella moves to his left and collects it well. Takes off the bails and Buttler who tries to come back knows he is short of the crease. Sri Lanka need to capitalize on this now.

L Sandakan to M Ali, OUT! Excellent catch! Another one for Sandakan after the break and no overstepping again. Leg spinner outside off, Moeen tries to cut it late but Dhananjaya at first slip dives to his left. Goes in with soft hands to the ball which enables it to stick. The lead is worth 267 now.

M Pushpakumara to Rashid,OUT! The on field decision will have to be overturned. Finally a good review for Sri Lanka. The ball was outside leg and turns away from Rashid who cleared his front leg and comes ahead to defend. The ball bounces more and grazes his glove on the way to the keeper. It is a smart catch from Dickwella. Eighth one down for England. They are now effectively 311-8. The funny part in this review was that Dickwella didn't look like he had much of a say. The slip fielder told Lakmal to take it upstairs.

M Pushpakumara to Broad, OUT! One to go now. Muted celebrations among the Lankans. Comes around the wicket, Broad plays ahead to this one and gets an inside edge that goes into the waiting arms of Kusal Mendis at short leg. This match has been about close-in catching. England are 313 ahead now.

D Perera to Leach, OUT! Finally, the England innings comes to an end. Dilruwan Perera gets his 5th wicket. The eighth time he has achieved the feat in Test matches. Also his 100th wicket in home Tests. Flatter ball around off, Leach goes back to play it with a straight bat but gets an outside edge back to the keeper. Dickwella takes a good catch. SO, ENGLAND are ALL OUT FOR 230.
