Bairstow century rescues England: 3rd Test, Day 1 (Lords)

Jonny Bairstow's second century of the series helped England recover from another top-order collapse to reach 279-6 after Sri Lanka had reduced them to 84-4 just after lunch.

A gritty 85 from skipper Alastair Cook and Bairstow's third ton in six Tests dragged the hosts out of a hole as Sri Lanka bowled with discipline in good batting conditions.

England 279 for 6 (Bairstow 107*, Cook 85, Woakes 23*) v Sri Lanka.
