Second Innings 1/0 ( 0.2 overs ) (f/o)

Sri Lanka trail by 206 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 2nd innings as bad light stopped play early in the second day. James Anderson  produced an excellent display of swing and seam to claim 5-16, his 19th five-wicket haul in Test cricket as Sri Lanka were asked to follow-on by Alistar Cook after being bowled out for 91, with Stuart Broad chipping in with 4 for 21 in ten and Jonny Bairstow 140  and claimed five catches behind the stumps, as Sri Lanka failed to cope with typically cold and overcast day.

Sri Lanka were all out for 91 in their first innings their lowest score in Tests. Still  three days left in the match, as England are well on their way to securing  sweet revenge for 2014.
