Niroshan Dickwella is the new man in.
54.3 A Rashid to Mathews, OUT! Big wicket for England. Adil gets his man. A loopy delivery from Rashid on middle, Mathews leans forward and tries to defend it off the front foot but he gets a thick outside edge as the ball turns away. Foakes catches it on the second attempt. Second wicket for Adil and he has got two crucial ones. He was struggling before the Lunch break but post Lunch, he has been brilliant. Mathews, Sri Lanka's best batsman of the first game has not made an impact this time and now 285 looks farfetched. 165/6

52.3 A Rashid to Silva, A huge appeal but not given! Excellently bowled! He kept bowling the leg spinners and now bowls the googly. Silva had no clue which way it was going as he comes forward to defend. He misses and the ball hits him on the pads. An appeal follows but the umpire shakes his head. England think about a review and opt against it. Rightly so as Hawk Eye shows it to be missing the stumps. 162/5

48.3 A Rashid to Silva, Fuller on middle, the batsman has pushed it through point for a single. Silva is off the mark with that. 153/5
48.2 A Rashid to Silva, A tad short from the bowler, Roshen rocks back and punches it off the back foot but straight to the cover fielder. 152/5

Roshen Silva comes to bat.
46.2 A Rashid to Silva, OUT! GONE! Rashid strikes! Lovely, lovely bowling this is. Once again he tosses it above the eye and this time lands it around the off pole. It pitches and spins away. Dhananjaya has to play at it and hence is forward to defend it. The ball just about kisses the outside edge and goes into the mitts off the keeper. Foakes takes it and appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Big blow for Sri Lanka as Dhananjaya was set. Half the side back in the hut for Sri Lanka. 146/5
46.1 A Rashid to Silva, BEAUTY! This is nicely tossed up and it is also much slower. Pitches around leg and then turns square, beating the outside edge of Dhananjaya's bat. Just unplayable. 146/4

We are back for the afternoon session. Angelo Mathews and Dhananjaya de Silva will resume their innings. Adil Rashid will start the proceedings. Here we go…
… Day 2, Session 2 …
The hosts still trail by another 146 runs, they have a set batsman out there and one who showed good form in the first Test match. They would hope the two can bat long and take them close to the deficit. England on the other hand, will want to take a few wickets quickly and get into the lower order of this Lankan line-up.
Just as everything was going Sri Lanka's way, a moment of brilliant from Ben Stokes found Karunaratne short of his crease. A few overs later, Stokes was once again into the act as he pulled of an excellent catch to get rid of Mendis. Mathews and Dhananjaya, who also pbaded his fifty, then survived the last few minutes and ensured there were no more wickets to fall before the break.
An excellent session of cricket and you have to award it to the English side due to the two quick wickets in the end. They started off well by picking the nightwatchman early but it was all Sri Lanka after that. Karunaratne and Dhananjaya looked at ease and the two stitched a 96-run stand. The former got to his half ton and looked set for a biggie.
43.6 J Leach to Silva, A shorter delivery to end the session and it has been pushed back to the bowler. LUNCH ON DAY 2! 139/4

Angelo Matthews walks out to the middle.
41.1 J Leach to K Mendis, OUT! EDGED AND WHAT A CATCH! It is that man Stokes again! You just can't keep him out of the game at the moment. Mendis walks back without troubling the scorers and all of a sudden, Lanka are in a spot of bother here. Leach gets his second. A tossed up delivery on off, it pitches and turns away. Mendis plays inside the line, the ball takes the outside edge, goes just past the keeper's gloves but Stokes at first slip, sticks his left hand out and the ball stays in. Excellent reaction catch and England are pumped up. There are still a few more minutes to go for Lunch, can they take another? 136/4
40.6 Ben Stokes to Silva, FOUR! Consecutive boundaries for de Silva. It was again dragged in short and the batsman pulls it through mid on for a boundary. 9 came from the over of Stokes. 136/3

40.3 Ben Stokes to Silva, FOUR! De Silva Brings up his 4th Test Fifty. It was dragged in short, he went for the pull and times it nicely through mid-wicket and the ball races to the fence. He needs to continue for a longer period of time. He has been playing well and looks determined to score a big one now. 132/3
40.2 Ben Stokes to Mendis, Back of a length on middle, Kushal punches it off the back foot through covers. They take a single. 128/3
40.1 Ben Stokes to Mendis, Starts off with a short delivery. Mendis ducks underneath it. 127/3

Kusal Mendis is the new man in. Also, Jack Leach is back on.
38.6 J Anderson to Karunaratne, OUT! Yes, England have got the breakthrough. This was probably the only way this partnership could have been broken. A sorry end to a brilliant 96-run stand. A back of a length ball around off, de Silva guides it towards Stokes at point and sets off for a run. The ball bounces nicely for the fielder, he collects it with one hand and then scores a direct hit at the striker's end. The players appeal, they actually start celebrating as they feel Karunaratne is short. The umpire waits to see if there is an overthrow and then takes it upstairs. Time for the replays and it finds Dimuth short. Outstanding work from Stokes, he just had one stump to aim at and nails it. End of a good innings by Karunaratne. Sri Lanka trail by another 158 runs. 127/3
A direct hit and have England got the breakthrough? Karunaratne is the man in question. This looks very close.

We are all set to go! Dimuth Karunaratne and Malinda Pushpakarma will resume their innings. Moeen Ali will start the proceedings for today. Here we go…
Pitch report – Russel Arnold and Brad Hogg say the wicket is quite dry. Reckon the pitch will open up even more and more turn will be evident. Mention Sri Lankans need to bat well.
After some entertaining cricket on Day 1, we welcome you to the coverage of Day 2. Yesterday, we saw runs flowing and wickets tumbling as well. The English side have the upper hand at the moment and they would like to push ahead their advantage. Sri Lanka on other hand, will need partnerships but it is not going to be easy on a wicket which is gripping and turning. The ball is relatively new and one would believe it is now when the batters will face most of the problems. It should get a little easier as the ball gets a little soft but the hosts would hope they have quite a few wickets in hand at that time. The first session is quite important and that should probably show which way the game will be heading.
… Day 2, Session 1 ….
The story of today was quite similar to the one of the first day of the first Test. And on Day 2 we saw the English side blow the hosts away. Will we see the same on Thursday or will Sri Lanka fight back? Judging by how the wicket played right at the end, one would say England will continue their dominance. We will find out at 1000 local (0430 GMT). Do join us.
Earlier in the day, England elected to bat after winning the toss. They were in trouble at 89-4 but Buttler's counter-attacking innings took them to safer shores. Sri Lanka did manage to fight back and they once again had England down and out at 171 for 7 but could not capitalize and the tourists, courtesy Curran's brilliance, got somewhere close to 300.
England's session and you can also say it will be the visitors who will sleep better tonight. After Sam Curran's heroics, the English bowlers had 12 overs to have a go at the Lankan batsman today and they haven't come out empty-handed. They have got the wicket of Silva and it is Leach who has provided the breakthrough by bowling a beauty. However, Pushpakumara and Karunaratne then ensured there were no more wickets to fall and played the day out.

11.3 J Leach to Pushpakumara, Uppish but safe! Luckily for Malinda that hit Buttler. This was driven uppishly on the off side. Buttler at silly point tries to cling onto it but can't. Had he moved out of the way, that might just have carried to short covers. 26/1
11.2 J Leach to Pushpakumara, BEATEN! Floats it up on off, this pitches and turns away, MP gets beaten. 26/1
11.1 J Leach to Karunaratne, Uses his feet and it is driven down to long on for a run. Malinda now has to do what he has been sent out to. Play out the 5 balls remaining and protect the batsman. 26/1
