. Having been dropped on 36 early in the morning session, the No 7 took full
advantage and piled on the runs as England eventually declared on 498-9 in the
afternoon session.From there the bowlers took over and reduced Sri Lanka to
91-8, still 407 behind, at stumps, with Chris Woakes taking 3-9 in seven overs.
Moeen Ali celebrates his 150 at Durham Having started the day on 310-6, England
had some good fortune as both Ali and Woakes were given early lifelines.First,
Ali sent a thick edge to Dimuth Karunaratne at gully off the bowling of Nuwan
Pradeep before a regulation edge from Woakes was completely missed by Dinesh
Chandimal behind the stumps - Shaminda Eranga the disbelieving bowler.The pair
made Sri Lanka pay for their slackness in the field and had put 92 for seventh
wicket, Ali going past 50, before Suranga Lakmal had Woakes (39) caught
behind.Broad (7) followed - nicking Pradeep through to the keeper - but with Ali
going well, England reached lunch at 408-8 and kicked on again after the
interval.Having nurdled his way through the nineties, Ali brought up his second
Test century with a lofted drive over mid-off for four and continued in much the
same vein thereafter. Steven Finn (10) provided steady support from the other
end before topping edging a Rangana Herath delivery straight up; the left-arm
spinner took the return catch to claim his 300th Test wicket but was brought
back down to earth as No 11 James Anderson promptly reverse swept him for
four.Ali launched Lakmal for six over midwicket to bring up his 150 and the
declaration came soon after with England two shy of 500.Sri Lankas openers were
left with half an hour to navigate before tea but they were unable to see it
through; Anderson bowling Karunaratne behind his legs.Kaushal Silva and Kusal
Mendis kept the runs flowing at a decent rate after tea but a fine low catch
from Jonny Bairstow broke their 34-run stand after Broad had found Silvas edge.
Chris Woakes enjoyed an excellent spell, taking 3-9 Anderson (2-31) then nicked
out Chandimal - Alastair Cook taking the catch at first slip - and a superb
spell from Woakes left Sri Lanka in the mire at 67-6.The Warwickshire
all-rounder hit his areas and had Angelo Mathews and Milinda Siriwardana caught
behind with Mendis edging a rising delivery to Anderson at gully in
between.Lahiru Thirimanne and Herath dug in for a spell but Broad (3-35)
returned to dismiss the latter; Anderson taking another sharp catch at gully and
a brilliant one-handed catch from Joe Root - reacting after James Vince was
unable to hold on at full stretch - later in the same over did for Eranga,
rounding off a near-perfect day for England.Watch day three of the second
