Gus Atkinson's Hundred Heroics Hurt Sri Lanka Before England Bowlers Strike At Lord's

By AFP News August 31, 2024 • 08:04 AM View: 486

Gus Atkinson scored a dashing maiden century before England strengthened their grip on the second Test against Sri Lanka at Lord's on Friday. The fast bowler's sparkling 118 helped England to 427 all out in their first innings after Joe Root's masterful 143 on Thursday equalled the England record of 33 Test hundreds held by Alastair Cook.

Sri Lanka then collapsed to 87-6 on the second day in the face of accurate England seam bowling and some loose shot-making.
