Karunaratne’s exit led the umpires to call lunch with Sri Lanka

Gus Atkinson
Olly Stone and Matthew Potts both took two wickets in an over as Sri Lanka slumped to 129-7 at tea on the second day of the second Test at Lord’s on Friday after fellow England paceman Gus Atkinson’s sparkling maiden century.
At tea, Sri Lanka—already 1-0 down in a three-match series—were a mammoth 298 runs adrift of England’s first-innings 427 that featured Atkinson’s blistering 118. Sri Lanka openers Nishan Madushka and Dimuth Karunaratne both played on for seven, to Chris Woakes and the recalled Stone respectively.
