Mahela Jayawardena reacts to a difficult day for Sri Lanka, and we hear from England heroes James Anderson and Jonny Bairstow.

Jayawardena talks about Bairstow's magnificent second Test hundred, and how his tempo and decision to bat out of his crease proved key in the first Test on Friday.

On a day of few positives for the tourists, the former Lions captain looks at Rangana Herath's success for Sri Lanka in the post Muttiah Muralitharan era, with two wickets in England's first innings taking him to 299 Test scalps.

Sri Lanka were blown away by Anderson and Stuart Broad in reply to England's 298, forced to follow on after being bowled out for 91.

Anderson (5-16) took a first Test five-for at Headingley and we hear from him and England's other hero for the day, Bairstow, on the podcast.
