Steven Finn says the England bowlers have done well on a difficult wicket and put England in a good position after day three at Lord's

Steven Finn, Chris Woakes, James Anderson and Stuart Broad split the wickets between them and on day three of the third Investec Test as the hosts skittled Sri Lanka out for 288 at Lord's.

Finn hailed the combined effort of England's bowlers during a chat with Ian Ward after Sri Lanka's first innings.

The Middlesex seamer also discussed how altering his routine and preparation for the third Test has left him feeling "fresher".

Finn finished with bowling figures of 3-59 from his 18-over spell as Sri Lanka were dismissed for 288.

"I think to come back and bowl them out for 288 was a very good effort on behalf of the bowlers," Finn told Sky Sports.

"And if we can get far enough ahead and take an unassailable lead, we can put some pressure on Sri Lanka at some stage.

"Broady bowled really well from the Nursery End yesterday and Woakesy looked dangerous all the time, so it was a ploy that worked for us first up."
