Big problem for England they have lost their fifth wicket. Moeen Ali departed after a promising 32 holding on to Sanga from a Dilshan delivery. Taylor got out to Senanayake for 10 and just as Root and Bopara was looking to stay on and build a partnership, Bopara departed after Lakmal got him to edge it to Sanga who took a decent catch.
