Nice fightback by SL
And that’s the close. England still in control of this Test, but it’s been Sri Lanka’s day. They knocked over England’s lower order and then earned themselves a lead of 106. The openers fought hard and then it was the senior duo of Sangakkara and Jayawardene. But, when England were struggling for a breakthrough, Moeen Ali struck twice in an over to lift their spirits - you could argue he should have bowled earlier. Sri Lanka have a lengthy tail, but if they can find another 100 runs we could have a fascinating end to this Test.

Sri Lanka lead by 238 runs with 3 wickets remaining
Re: 2nd Test: England v Sri Lanka, Headingley, Leeds
SL 457 all out
England need 350 all out
Re: 2nd Test: England v Sri Lanka, Headingley, Leeds
SL 457 all out

Re: 2nd Test: England v Sri Lanka, Headingley, Leeds
Tension going around!
The Sri Lankans are unhappy with the ball so the umpires are having a look at it. Angelo Mathews is unhappy about something else too so is trying to advance towards the England batsmen, Root in particular, the umpires having to hold him back almost! No idea what's been said but Mathews perturbed...
Re: 2nd Test: England v Sri Lanka, Headingley, Leeds
Win / Loss part of the game but I think Mathew is not accepting the fact.....
Definitely a bit more aggressive from the Sri Lankans, plenty of chat and now Steve Davis has had to intervene and put a stop to it...
Mathews isn't calming down here and now the umpires are coming together to have a word with the Sri Lankan captain...
Re: 2nd Test: England v Sri Lanka, Headingley, Leeds
I think this is the main reason for Mathew :p
Umpire reviews remaining England 2 (2 successful, 0 unsuccessful); Sri Lanka 2 (0 successful, 0 unsuccessful)
Re: 2nd Test: England v Sri Lanka, Headingley, Leeds
can't predict what going on!
Some real fire being applied by Sri Lanka trying to unsettle the batsmen...
And still the sledging continues...
