Enjoy Sri Lanka vs England Day 2 test 2012 live online
Watch the hosts won the first Test of the two match series (their first Test win at home in 18 matches) and need just a draw to pull England from the top of the table. But they do have a lot of questions to answer; the biggest being the form of their top order batsmen. Sri Lanka lost half their side for just 72 runs in both innings, and required a stunning knock from captain Mahela Jayawardene in the first essay to wriggle them out of trouble.

Sri Lanka's bowling attack depends heavily on spin and their lead spinner Rangana Herath's good form has already made life difficult for England. The left armer took 12 wickets in the first Test to destroy the visitors, and found good support in off spinner Suraj Randiv. Left arm quick Chanaka Welegedera has been ruled out due to a groin strain and his place is likely to go to Dhammika Prasad.

England's problems are there for everyone to see: inability to handle spin. The problem seems to have carried over from their dreadful series against Pakistan where they were demolished by Saeed Ajmal and co. Rangana Herath and Suraj Randiv may not look as threatening as the Pakistani off spinner, but they have proved to be too much for this England side. England's problems start right at the top where their skipper is struggling for form.

England, on the other hand, have now lost four consecutive Tests. Their vulnerability against spin has been thoroughly exposed and they have an uphill battle in this Test as well. A loss or a draw will result in England losing the No.1 Test ranking to South Africa. Thus, the message is clear for England. They have to win or they will relinquish the top spot in Tests.

Stuart Broad has been ruled out of this Test match due to a calf injury. Steven Finn or Tim Bresnan might feature in the game today. This is England's first Test at the P Sara Oval after 30 years. The last time they played at this venue was in 1982 which also happened to be Sri Lanka's inaugural Test match.
