England vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score Updates

England vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Day 3 Live: Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva and the in-form Kamindu Mendis frustrated England with an unbroken century partnership on the second day of the third Test at the Oval on Saturday. The tourists collapsed to 93-5 before tea, but had recovered to 211-5 when bad light forced an early close. That left Sri Lanka 114 runs adrift of an England first-innings total of 325 built on Ollie Pope's 154 -- his first century as England captain. De Silva was 64 not out and left-handed batsman Kamindu Mendis, again down the order at number seven, 54 not out in an undefeated stand of 118 as Sri Lanka looked to salvage some pride at 2-0 behind in a three-match series.

UPDATE - As many of you may have heard, or if not, the big breaking news this morning is that 37-year-old Moeen Ali, one of England’s finest all-rounders, has announced his retirement from international cricket.

England will be slightly disappointed with their batting collapse on Day 2. Skipper Ollie Pope's 154 and Ben Duckett's brisk 86 were the standout performances. While the bowlers struggled initially, sharp fielding from Olly Stone and poor running from Sri Lanka gave them their first breakthrough. The debutant, Josh Hull had a mixed day, claiming the set Pathum Nissanka’s wicket but dropping a sitter that gave Dhananjaya de Silva a second chance. England did manage to take three quick wickets before Tea, but with only spinners allowed in the final session, Sri Lanka fought back. With a lead still over 100, England will be aiming to make early inroads and wrap things up quickly. Stay tuned as action on Day 3 begins shortly.
