After a good first day, England continued their upper hand in the game. Sri Lanka came back well with some late strikes towards end of day but by that time England sent themselves in a good position.
Here are the twitter reactions of the day.
Who will take up Cook as Captain?
If Cook did lose the captaincy, would the new captain get his family? #ENGvSL

Pokes and get out.
The man from the right kind of family just played the wrong kind of shot to the right kind of ball…#EngvSL

Cook The Poker.
Warne loves Poker. Cook is a poker. Warne loves _______ . #OkBye

Best Poker Award – Cook.
Cook has already broken one record of Sachin. He already has more dismissals caught by keeper than Tendulkar had in his career. #Cook #test

India Series coming up.
Alastair Cook should remember that form is temporary, class is permanent and an India series is just around the corner.

Captain Cook waiting for Indian series.
Cook must be looking forward to bat against India. Inexperienced bowlers. Incompetent slip fielders and Defensive captain. #EngvsInd

England team waiting for India to arrive to score big.
(In England) Baith jaaiye, India is coming. Sabko century maarne ka chance milega, Ha, Cook, aapka double Paka Bell ke Saath! #EngvSL

One going to Tour, other one coming back home.
What is common between England football team and Indian cricket team? Both are going to England.

What will Robson prefer?
What would Australia prefer to have, the Ashes in 2015 or Sam Robson for every series after that? #politeenquiries

Useful DRS.
DRS to the rescue! Ballance is given out LBW but the referral shows the ball was missing leg. #EngvSL #SkyCricket pic.twitter.com/EiZWkQ0lpe

That’s what an Attacking Captain does.
Mathews is attacking Captain. Because the opposition is attacking everyone except him !!! #ENGvSL

Which country player is next?
Last Test it was a Zimbabwean, this Test it’s an Aussie. Congrats Sam Robson!

World XI doing well on name of England.
Four of the last six Test 100s for England, have come from batsmen born away from home: Pietersen, Stokes, Ballance & now Robson #EngvSL

Come on Cook. Declare.
Does Cook have the courage to declare behind here? Can’t let the game drift along. #DeclarationSpeculation #ENGvSL

Mixture of sports.
Messi on one TV, Bell on another. I’ve found the perfect pub.

311 for 3 to 313 for 6. Englandesque collapse.
Learn from England how to throw away the advantage. #EngvSL
