Live Cricket Score: Sri Lanka vs England, 3rd Test, Day 2

Stumps, Day 2

Bad light forces the players off the field and that's that for today.

Such was the complexion of Sri Lanka's post-Tea capitulation that four outstanding catches by Keaton Jennings at short leg and a ravishing second-wicket partnership of 164 runs by Sri Lanka stood enviously pale in comparison. Ben Stokes and Adil Rashid, the two bowlers at the bottom of Joe Root's pecking order today, forged a memorable bowling coalition to bring down Sri Lanka in a whirlwind during the second day's play, helping England take a lead of 96 runs in the first innings. What does Day 3 have on offer? Join us back tomorrow, ta-ta!

240 all out

At least the score has a nice ring to it. Imagine the ignominy of being bowled out for 241... Adil Rashid picks a five-wicket haul here but don't forget Stokes, who's bowled six straight overs after Tea to bounce Sri Lanka out.

That's the wrong kind of Tea Sri Lanka had during the break. From 183/2 to 240 all out.

Stokes has another

What's happening? Sri Lanka haven't looked like the Sri Lanka they have in the last few hours. Another short ball -- another, yea -- and he's gotten Dickwella strangled down leg. That was the plan. And England now well set to take a sizeable lead.

Injury concern for Foakes

A ball bounced short and hurt him on the fingers.. the physio is out on the field (as if England don't have substitutes!). But all looks fine. Magic spray (and your drive to keep wicketkeepin') often does wonders.

Another at short leg!

Jennings has his fourth catch at short leg. And Rashid picks another too. Roshen Silva gets forward to defend a wrong 'un and offers a sharp chance that's taken one-handed by Jennings.

Reaction time for the catch: 0.35 seconds

Sri Lanka on a slide. 205/5 now.
