After a Thrilling Draw in the first test in Lords, England straight away put the upper hand in the second day to grab lead in the series at Leeds. After bowling out Sri Lanka for 257 England openers play out remaining overs to ensure to go into 2nd Day with no harm done.
Here are the twitter reactions of the game.

Shane Warne will answer this.
Ideal scenario here. First ball – 5 slips, 2 gullys, silly point, forward short leg. Second ball – everyone including Prior on the rope.

Silve has been an impressive pick.
Silva looks like a really impressive compact and patient opener. Hope Sri Lanka give him a prolonged chance in the position.

England Substitutes better suit in the main team.
The England substitute fielder is the most English-looking and substitute fielder-looking person in history. #ENGvSL

Broad Wanted to review but Cook didn’t.
England decided against a review but it looks as though it is a missed opportunity! http://t.co/LeU0ujFmv9 #EngvSL pic.twitter.com/ttKo74ZpIv

He make many fake calls behind the stumps.
Sangakkara : It was my call, you had to just respond. Karunaratne : You make too many fake calls to respond to one. Sorry. #EngvsSL

Great Stat and he picks his 350th Test Wicket on 30003rd ball.
James Anderson has become the 14th bowler to bowl out 30000 ball in his INTL career. First from England. #EngvSL @SkyCricket

Strauss has been trolled.
Strauss “I’m not sure I like this angle from Plunkett” Batsman bowled 2 seconds later “Beautiful line, beautiful length” #EngvSL

The 11k Test Runs War.
Jayawardena, Sangakkara and Chanderpaul are playing games a tug of war in the eleven thousands.
— Dan. (@StumpdOffaWide) June 20, 2014
Would be greater if Chanderpaul equals with the both.
Ultimate STATGASM would be if Jayawardene & Sangakkara synchronized retirements so that they both finished on the same no of Test runs.

Sangakkara edges and interesting walked and in mean time Prior droped the catch.
Cook is such a boring captain that even Sangakkara walked not wanting to play more. #SomethingNeedsToBeDone #EngvsSL
— CricCrazyMaNiks™ (@CricCrazyNIKS) June 20, 2014
Looks like England are least bothered about Sangakkara’s wicket.
First that run out and now a dropped catch, what the hell England…why u love so much to see Sangakkara bat..!!

Aakash was an expert in that. Indian batsmen need his tips.
If the Sri Lankan tour is anything to go by, all Indian batsmen must start practicing one shot–leaving the ball alone! #EngvInd

6th Test Fifty in row in 6 innings for Sanga.
Sangakkara’s sixth straight Test fifty. Record is seven

Sangakkara riding on luck.
Pretty sure if someone bowled Sanga right now, the ball would pass in between the stumps. #EngvSL
— Andrew Fernando (@andrewffernando) June 20, 2014
Luck and Form towards Sangakkara.
Sanga could bat with his eyes closed and still not get out.. That kind of form he’s in.. #EngvSL

Not only Broad, no one realized that it was a Hat Trick.
Last ball of the previous over and the first two balls of this over – Broad gets a hat trick and he doesn’t know it! #EngvSL #testcricket

The only Liam picks his only Five-fer at his only home.
Plunks is the only Liam to play Test cricket for England. #Facts #Analysis #HardhittingJournalism

In a hurry to watch crucial result for England in Fifa WC, England picks up 4 wickets in no time.
England cricketers are in hurry of watching Italy play, Might miss 5-10 minutes though. #EngvSL
