Chris Woakes started and finished a Sri Lanka collapse on the third day of the third Test against England at Lord's on Saturday. Sri Lanka, well-placed at 162 for one overnight, were dismissed for 288 - 128 runs behind England's first innings 416. Woakes, who took a wicket with his first ball Saturday, ended the innings with the opening delivery of a new spell on the stroke of tea when Shaminda Eranga was caught in the slips by James Vince.
Warwickshire all-rounder Woakes finished with figures of three for 31 in 17.1 overs. Sri Lanka, bidding to avoid a whitewash at 2-0 down in this three-match series, resumed Saturday with Kaushal Silva 79 not out and Kusal Mendis 25 not. But they both fell for their overnight scores as Sri Lanka collapsed in overcast conditions that made batting harder than had been the case on Friday.
Sri Lanka had not added a run when Woakes had Mendis lbw with his first ball Saturday to end a partnership of 54. It was just reward for the paceman, who saw Jonny Bairstow drop a simple catch off his bowling to reprieve Dimuth Karunaratne, eventually out for 50, on Friday. But wicket-keeper Bairstow, whose 167 not out on Friday was his Test-best score, made no mistake Saturday when he Silva edged Stuart Broad straight to him. Two years ago, Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews made a Test century at Lord's.
