LEEDS, United Kingdom: Sri Lanka were one without loss, following on in their second innings, at stumps on the second day of the first Test against England at Headingley on Friday.

Sri Lanka ended the day 206 runs behind after being skittled out for 91 in reply to England’s first innings 298.
James Anderson took five for 16, his best Test figures at Headingley, including a spell of four for one in 29 balls.
New-ball partner Stuart Broad took four for 21 in an innings that was completed inside 37 overs.
