Sri Lanka 94/1 in 15.0 Overs | England vs Sri Lanka Highlights Day 3: Sri Lanka 94/1 at stumps in 219 chase – The Times of India

England began Day 3 strongly, with their pacers exploiting the conditions to wrap up Sri Lanka’s innings, securing a 62-run lead. However, in the brief period before Lunch, they lost Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope cheaply. After the break, England’s middle order collapsed again, with Jamie Smith being the lone bright spot. Despite little support, he counter-attacked brilliantly, scoring a quick-fire 67 and helping England set a target of 219. Though Chris Woakes dismissed Dimuth Karunaratne early, the hosts struggled to contain the batters. Sri Lanka responded with aggressive intent, nearly halving the target before Bad Light ended play. The hosts will hope that just like Day 3, they can use the conditions better in the morning session and put the pressure back on the Lankans by picking up a few wickets.
