Jonny Bairstow took centre stage once again on day two, but it was a mixed afternoon for him and England against Sri Lanka at Lord’s.

The accolades were all his after the wicketkeeper-batsman consolidated the hundred he completed the previous evening by finishing unbeaten on a Test-best unbeaten 167 out of 416 all out.

But England’s hopes of pushing for a 3-0 Investec series whitewash then receded after Bairstow dropped a straightforward chance which reprieved opener Dimuth Karunaratne on 28.

The tourists’ reply was 49 without loss at that stage – and although Bairstow eventually took the catch down the leg-side off Steven Finn to see off the left-hander, by stumps the total was 162 for one.

Who do you think will win the third Test and what have you made of the series so far?
