Sri Lanka made an impressive start in the second Test against England at Lord's on Thursday, dismantling the home team's top order before lunch.

England closed the first session on 97 for three, with Joe Root and Harry Brook attempting to rebuild after a couple of early mistakes from their teammates.

Lahiru Kumara's return to the side paid dividends as he dismissed Dan Lawrence cheaply, while poor shot selection proved costly for stand-in captain Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett.
