England dominated the morning session, reducing Sri Lanka to 113/7. However, a resilient lower-order fightback by captain Dhananjaya de Silva and debutant Milan Rathnayake helped visitors recover to post 236 all out on day one.

Against Sri Lanka, Jamie Smith picked up exactly where he left off, unbeaten on 72 at the close of Day Two at Old Trafford. He has both helped ensure England's top-order wobble didn't develop into something more terminal and now has the chance to bat his side into a position of real dominance.

Sri Lanka – just 82 runs ahead with only the tail to come after the partnership of Dinesh Chandimal and Kamindu Mendis – remain, barring the extraordinary, heavy favourites to lose, however, they have pushed England hard for almost the entirety of this Test.

For while Joe Root remains at the crease England, always have hope and so it proved once more against Sri Lanka on the opening day at Lord's.

Gus Atkinson's century puts him on all three Lord's honours boards: for five wickets in an innings, 10 wickets in a match and now for making a hundred.

In less than half a day's play England racked up 221 runs, going at exactly 5-an-over vs Sri Lanka, with Ollie Pope responding to critics with a century

For England this defeat should serve as a real wake up call, they played poorly here and their sloppiness was punished. Whether through arrogance, a lack of concentration or an inability to adapt to circumstances they were at times fairly shambolic in this Test and thoroughly deserved to be beaten by a Sri Lankan side that finally put together the glimpses of quality they have shown at earlier points in the series.
