Day 2 Stumps: Sri Lanka spinner Lasith Embuldeniya made early inroads into the England innings on day two of the ongoing second Test, but skipper Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow ensured the visitors stayed on track at the Galle International Stadium on Saturday.
In the second session, Anderson took two wickets quite early as he dismissed Niroshan Dickwella (92) and Suranga Lakmal (0). With Dickwella’s wicket, Anderson registered his 30th five-wicket haul in Test cricket. He is now the second pace bowler after Richard Hadlee to have picked 30 fifers in Test cricket.
In the end, Perera added some crucial runs to the hosts’ total and he went on play a knock of 67 runs. While Anderson picked six wickets, Wood took four wickets while Dom Bess and Jack Leach went wicketless — the first time a spinner has not taken a single wicket in an innings of a Test at Galle.
Brief Scores: Sri Lanka 381 (Angelo Mathews 110; James Anderson 6-40); England 98/2 (Joe Root 67*; Lasith Embuldeniya 2-33).
Earlier James Anderson bagged a six for while Niroshan Dickwella (92) and Dilruwan Perera (67) played crucial hands to lift Sri Lanka to a sizeable score of 381 when Tea was called on Day 2 of the Galle Test.
When the afternoon session commenced, Dickwella and Perera would have hoped to add crucial runs. However, with Dickwella just eight short of a well deserved hundred, he cracked one to Jack Leach at mid-off who pouched a fine catch. The wicket also turned out to be Anderson’s second five-wicket haul in Galle. 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.
