England in charge after maiden Atkinson century: 2nd Test, Day 2 (Lords)

Newcomer Gus Atkinson continued his dream start to his career with a maiden century as England dominated Sri Lanka at Lord’s.

Paceman Atkinson’s 118 lifted England from 215-6 to 427 all out.

Olly Stone took two wickets in an over and Matthew Potts repeated the dose in a calamitous spell when Sri Lanka crashed from 83-3 to 87-6. Only Kamindu Mendis stood firm with a resolute 74 as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 196.

England 427 (Root 143, Atkinson 118, Asitha 5-102) and 25 for 1 lead Sri Lanka 196 (Kamindu 74) by 256 runs.
