Ramesh Mendis to Joe Root, OUT! ROOT IS BOWLED! Mendis jumps in joy, he has hunted down the big fish. 80 needed more and you can say - GAME ON! A tossed up ball landing full around off, Root gets across the stumps for the sweep shot but fails to connect. It spins past his bat and disturbs the leg stump. Perhaps a bit of glove as well, as the ball deflects onto the stumps. Yes, the replays confirm that. Joe got too much across the stumps there. Sri Lanka have an opening.

Dan Lawrence walks in next.
