  • New number three Ben Stokes fell for 19 and captain Joe Root was dismissed cheaply again as England slipped to 120 for 4 in the opening session of the second Test against Sri Lanka on Wednesday.

    The tourists elected to bat in their bid for a series-clinching win but lost four wickets before lunch on a pitch already assisting spinners.

    Jos Buttler, on 38, and Moeen Ali (4) were the not out batsmen with paceman Suranga Lakmal and spinners Dilruwan Perera, Malinda Pushpakumara and Akila Dananjaya all taking a wicket each. However, Sam Curran has not only shored things up but moved the game on past 250 with a superb half-century.
