Some late blows on Day 2 from Sri Lanka brought down England Domination with the tale left on overnight Sri Lanka tighten grip on the test as they reduced the England’s first innings lead to 108. Later with the bat Sri Lanka done a reasonably good job as Sri Lanka lead England by 106 runs with 6 wickets in hand.
Here are the twitter reactions of the day:
Time for Prior to get out.
Fact is if Prior is going to keep like a muppet may as well stick Buttler in. More dynamic with the bat and helps instil #NewEra

Poor lines from Jimmy and Barbie.
#STATBYTE Stuart Broad & James Anderson have now bowled ten overs between them. ZERO balls would have hit the stumps. #TooShort #ENGvSL

When Mathews looks a better bowler.
That awkward moment when – Mathews > Anderson & Broad …poor length and line isn’t making the batsmen play enough!! #EngvSL

This game going into next day.
Sceptical this game will be over today. Sri Lanka won’t declare until after tea and England can surely see out the day. #ENGvSL

Jordon covers fourth and fifth slips.
Poor captaincy from Cook to not have Jordan at fourth slip where he could dive across and take that. #ENGvSL

Poor from England.
#ENGvSL STATBYTE: In twelve overs against the new ball, Sri Lanka’s openers were able to leave 43% of deliveries.

Sachin will be happy now.
100% of Moeen Ali’s Test wickets are Sangakkara. Sachin is lucky he has retired.

Time for Moeen Ali to retire. His career on high.
Moeen Ali can retire happy: 100% of his Test victims have been Kumar Sangakkara…

Time for a Poultry farm.
Thirimanne can start his poultry farm with the amount of ducks he had collected in Tests.. #EngvsSL

Proper thing in wrong instance.
No way Plunkett has a future with England if he is bowling Yorkers.
