England moved into a powerful position to win the series against Sri Lanka by taking a stranglehold on the second test at Lord's after an unlikely century by fast bowler Gus Atkinson and another 💖batting collapse by the tourists on Friday.
After Atkinson's entertaining 118 led England to 427 all out, Sri Lanka was skittled for 196 in 55.3 overs to face a 231-run, firs🃏t-innings deficit on Day 2 at the hom𒐪e of cricket.
England chose not to enfoꦜrce the follow-on and reached stumps on 25-1, with a lead of 256.
Having won the first test in Manchester last week, England is on track to wrap up a second straight series victory this international summer — after a 3-0 w🍷in over the West Indies last month.
