Bairstow gone LBW, beaten by Embuldynia Embuldeniya (I think I’ve learnt to spend his name now)
Given out by the on field umpire, Umpires call on review, just clipping off stump.

Standing on the Fort all day & singing Jerusalem
What a crazy match this has been.

He’s been joined by another England supporter now and a Sri Lankan waving 2 flags, all socially distanced of course.
Squeaky bum time!
Root gone, dragging on to his own stumps, bowled by R Mendis not Embuldeniya
