In the ongoing England vs Sri Lanka Test 2024, England takes control as Angelo Mathews falls. Catch the latest updates on England'...
England finally saw off Angelo Mathews as they pressed for victory over Sri Lanka in the first Test at Old Trafford on Friday.
Two balls later, however, part-time spinner Joe Root, completing Wood's over, induced tailender Milan Rathnayake to hole out in the deep after the debutant paceman had made an impressive 72 in the first innings. Dinesh Chandimal, who retired hurt on 10 after a 93 mph delivery from Wood jagged back into his right thumb, was unbeaten on 20.
Mathews, whose superb 160 at Headingley back in 2014 guided Sri Lanka to a series win in England, faced 145 balls, including two fours and a six. England, being led for the first time by stand-in skipper Ollie Pope, were dismissed shortly before lunch but that left Sri Lanka with an awkward 15 minutes to bat before the interval.
Dimuth Karunaratne batted well for his 27 before being dismissed by Wood's first ball Friday when the opener inside-edged a lifting delivery onto his body. Earlier, England resumed on 259-6, with Smith -- in just his fourth Test -- unbeaten on 72 after falling agonisingly short of a century last time out on international duty when making 95 against the West Indies at Edgbaston in July.
