Kandy, Sri Lanka, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Nov, 2018 ) :Overnight batsman Ben Foakes made an unbeaten 65 before England were bowled out for 346 to set Sri Lanka a winning target of 301 in the second Test on Saturday.
Dilruwan Perera (3-96) bowled James Anderson for 12 to bring an end to England's second innings in the morning session on day four in Kandy after the visitors had resumed on 324-9.
