GALLE, Sri Lanka: James Anderson claimed the key wicket of centurion Angelo Mathews but Sri Lanka continued to build towards a sizeable first innings total as they reached 312 for six at lunch on the second day of the second test against England at Galle.
He has added 70 for the seventh wicket with Dilruwan Perera, who has 21, and the pair will look to steer the home side past 350 in the afternoon session. There was little in the way of an appeal from Anderson or behind the stumps, but Root decided to ask third umpire Lyndon Hannibal to review the not out decision and it was overturned.That brought debutant Ramesh Mendis to the wicket, but his stay was brief after a flick from a leg-side delivery from Mark Wood was superbly caught with one hand by a diving Buttler.
