England Vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test Live Streaming: When And Where To Watch ENG Vs SL 2nd Test LIVE In India Online And On TV

Sri Lanka will look to keep their hopes alive in the three-match Test series against hosts England when the two sides face off in the second Test at Lord’s in London from Thursday (August 29). The visitors put up a terrific fight in the first Test at Old Trafford in Manchester last week before going down by five-wickets and now trail 1-0 in the series.

One of the stars for the Lankans in the opening Test was all-rounder Kamindu Mendis, who is averaging 92.16 in his last 4 Tests. Mendis had shown signs of brilliance, stepping in for the COVID-19-positive Dhananjaya de Silva against Australia in Galle. He scored 61 in his first outing, helping Sri Lanka win by an innings and 39 runs.

Mendis is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the ongoing series with 125 runs in the two innings which has come at a strike rate of 60.10 and at an average of 62.50.

“I knew that the batting was packed, but what I tried to do was to do as best as I could in the chance that I had. I had to exit the team after that, but I don’t see that as a mistake,” Kamindu Mendis said ahead of the 2nd Test.

“You have to take various decisions to balance a team, and I came into that side only because Dhananjaya had Covid. When he returned, I had to make way. That’s fair. Even though I didn’t get to play, I was in the squad and travelling with the team, pretty much every tour. Going on so many tours with experienced players on those tours also helped me play well in my first few innings,” the batter added.

England won the first Test of the series. Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat first. Struggling at 113 for 7, it was knocks from skipper Dhananjaya de Silva (74 in 84 balls, with eight fours) and Milan Rathnayake (72 in 135 balls, with six fours and two sixes) that pushed SL to 236 all out. Despite a poor start and a tricky score of 67 for 3, fine performances from middle-order batters Joe Root (42 in 57 balls with four boundaries), Harry Brook (56 in 73 balls with four boundaries) and centurion Jamie Smith (111 in 148 balls, with eight fours and a six) helped England attain a lead of 122 runs as they were bundled out for 358 runs.

In their second innings, Sri Lanka once again found themselves in a troublesome position, with the score reading 95 for 4. However, veterans Angelo Matthews (65 in 145 balls, with two fours and a six)  and Dinesh Chandimal (79 in 119 balls, with seven fours) formed a 78-run partnership to push SL towards a lead. Later, keeping his fine form, Kamindu Mendis slammed his second Test ton in five innings, scoring 113 in 183 balls, with 15 fours and a six. SL put up a total of 326/10, giving them a respectable lead of 204 runs.
