A maiden test century from Jamie Smith, who was caught on 111, helped England end their first innings with a lead of 122. Things got worse for Sri Lanka as they lost two quick wickets in the three overs they had to face before lunch. However, The Tigers did regroup and fight back as day three went on. Angelo Matthew dug in and got 65 before being caught by Matthew Potts off the bowling of Chris Woakes. Kamindu Mendis ended the day on 56 Not Out. Dinesh Chandimal returned to the crease after originally retiring hurt.
It all means that the visitors start day four with an 82-run lead, but are six wickets down. Ollie Pope’s side are very much in the ascendancy. Ultimately, the morning’s aim is straightforward - get the remaining wickets as quickly as possible. With the Manchester weather always unreliable, maximising the time available to knock off the runs required is crucial. However, they will have to take those wickets without Mark Wood. The paceman will not take to the field today after straining a muscle.
