Follow live text, in-play video clips and radio commentary as England host Sri Lanka in the second Test at Lord's.
Decent recovery from Rathnayake, with just a single from it to Dan Lawrence, who gets himself off the mark with a single to mid-wicket.This is Sri Lanka's ninth Test at Lord's, they've drawn the last five. England last beat them here in 1991.
But, to the best of my knowledge, available stats do not take into account the overhead conditions. Ollie Pope was adamant that this is a venue to look up, not down. The blue sky suggests bat first, right?It's been well documented how little Test match cricket Sri Lanka have played in the build-up to this series, so it'll be interesting to see how their bowlers get on after an intense opener.
The anthems follow, and we're ready to go. Dan Lawrence and Ben Duckett make their way to the middle.It will do a bit in the first hour, it always does. But I am very surprised to see Sri Lanka bowl.
