Leeds, England: England survived 70 minutes of the opening session against Sri Lanka to reach 83-5 when rain stopped play for an early lunch on the fifth day of the second test at Headingley.
The tourists require five more wickets for their first series victory in England, but were frustrated by disciplined batting from Moeen Ali, 22 not out, and Joe Root, 9 not out.
