A comprehensive guide to watching the second Test between England and Sri Lanka at Lord's, from live streams to tickets to Lord's, and how to watch abroad
England take on Sri Lanka at Lords in the second test of the three-part test series today (29 August) with the home side 1-0 up after victory at Old Trafford.
The only change to England's side will be seamer Olly Stone, who comes in for the injured Mark Wood. Stand in captain Ollie Pope led the side to a five-wicket victory in the opening test at Old Trafford and a win at Lords would see England take the series.
England will be relying on the experience of Joe Root once again after he led England to a 205 run chase at Old Trafford with an innings of 62 not out.
The first ball will be bowled at 10am at Lords and the match will be streamed on Sky live in the UK. Tickets are still available for all days of the test and you can find out how to get them below.
