and prabath jayasuriya produced two classic spinning deliveries to clean bowled harry brooke and chris woakesays, sri lanka stayed in the game and england needed jamie smith in his first test match summer to really dig deep to finish 72 not out. remember, in the absence of ben stokes, an unbalanced england line—up, smith already seems like a crucial component. so, england will resume with the chance still to build a significant lead, but they know they're in a real game and session by session. sri lanka are adapting. so england's lead 23. smith will start day 3, on 72. he'll have gus atkinson alongside him. asitha fernando will be hoping for another fruitful day after taking 3 for 68 so far in the innings. it's also day 2 of the first test between pakistan and bangladesh in rawalpindi. the hosts declared on 448—6, thanks to a 1m from saud shakeel and an unbeaten 171 from mohammed rizwan. bangladesh are 27 without loss in reply, trailing by a21 runs. chelsea have a 2—0 lead following the first leg of their conference league playoff with servette. christopher nkunku opened the scoring with a pe
