Sri Lanka battle back after Bairstow's 167*

10-Jun-2016•ESPNcricinfo staff

Déjà vu all over again

Early inroads, a dropped catch (or sometimes more than one) and then the opposition middle order leading a recovery. It's a familiar script for Sri Lanka

09-Jun-2016•Andrew Fidel Fernando at Lord's

More haste, less speed would aid England's top order

England are a fun, often thrilling, side to watch - as typified by Jonny Bairstow's Lord's hundred - but they are not making it easy for themselves by frequent top-order wobbles

09-Jun-2016•George Dobell at Lord's

Bairstow's golden year, Cook's further milestones

Stats highlights from first day's play of the Lord's Test where Cook and Bairstow rescued the England against Sri Lanka

Bat-first advantage, Anderson's barren run

Lord's has been a ground that encourages batting first in recent years

'Getting Sri Lanka back on track is a long, slow process'

Graham Ford, the team's coach, wants the island's special brand of cricket firing through his young team again

07-Jun-2016•Interview by Andrew Fidel Fernando

The summer stats quiz (aka the England-Sri Lanka numbers you don't know)

Or how to infuse extra meaning into Anderson's five-fors and Sri Lanka's sub-100 total

02-Jun-2016•Andy Zaltzman

Cook: Numbers that speak of patience and grit

By reaching 10,000 Test runs, Alastair Cook has scaled a summit that 623 England players who made their Test debut before him couldn't.

Chandimal helps SL reclaim their identity

With his effervescent character and homespun technique, Dinesh Chandimal embodies something of the island spirit - as well as the fight his team had lost

30-May-2016•Andrew Fidel Fernando at Chester-le-Street

Sri Lanka, slow pitch sound familiar warning

Led by the ever-excellent James Anderson, England wrapped up a comfortable win - but the challenge of this winter's subcontinental tours looms

30-May-2016•George Dobell at Chester-le-Street

Chandimal makes England work for victory

30-May-2016•ESPNcricinfo staff

Sri Lanka find their fight ... and their off stumps

Today Sri Lanka began to pee on the raging fire they had started on day two, but flames are still licking the walls and roof

29-May-2016•Andrew Fidel Fernando at Chester-le-Street

Finn struggles for rhythm but deserves to be given a break

Steven Finn hasn't generated the pace with which he made his name and there is some talk that he could be the man to make way once Ben Stokes is fit

29-May-2016•George Dobell at Chester-le-Street

And on the third day, Test cricket rose again

Sri Lanka have been so poor, they might have mistaken for harbingers of Test cricket's doom. But the maligned sport just keeps grinding along

29-May-2016•Jarrod Kimber at Chester-le-Street

Mathews' third fifty in six follow-ons

Stats highlights from the third day's play at Chester-le-Street where Sri Lanka showed some resistance after following on.

Sri Lanka battle in the follow-on

29-May-2016•ESPNcricinfo staff

Carefree Moeen finds his flow again

Moeen Ali's unbeaten 155 was the sort of innings to make hearts beat faster, as well as a reminder that statistics only tell half a tale

28-May-2016•George Dobell at Chester-le-Street

Everyman Herath waddles into history

He became the second-oldest man to reach 300 Test wickets - and possibly the least fit - but Rangana Herath's story is the best of what sport has to offer

28-May-2016•Andrew Fidel Fernando at Chester-le-Street

Leaden Mathews leads SL nowhere

Far from a towering, inspiring, regal presence, Angelo Mathews just stood and watched as England steamrolled his side once again
