England's seamers took control of the second Test against Sri Lanka at Lord's, as the visitors struggled to 124-7 by tea on Day 2. This followed a brilliant maiden century by Gus Atkinson, who added to the home team's total of 427 all out.

Sri Lanka's response faltered, hindered by disciplined bowling from Chris Woakes, Olly Stone, and Matt Potts, who each took two wickets, and Atkinson, who claimed another. Kamindu Mendis was the top scorer for Sri Lanka with an unbeaten 26.

Atkinson's knock of 118 was the highlight, featuring 14 fours and four sixes. Resuming at 32-2, Sri Lanka's batting crumbled, leaving them to fight off the follow-on and facing potential series defeat after losing the first test in Manchester.
