The experienced paceman continued to leave his mark in the Test by dismissing Suranga Lakmal with the outswinger and returned his best figures for an innings away from home.
Earlier, Sri Lanka had started the day at 229 for 4, but Anderson bowled a fine spell and picked up the key wicket of Angelo Mathews. Anderson than dismissed Ramesh Mendis, on his Test debut.
