Moeen Ali recorded figures of 4-66 as England skittled Sri Lanka for 203 after Ben Foakes' debut ton had seen the tourists score 342 in Galle.

Watch highlights from day two of the first Test in the video above - England having engineered a lead of 177 runs after closing on 38-0 in their second innings.

SCORECARD | COMMENTARY

The early stages of the day were all about Foakes, who scored a 200-ball ton to become the only the second England wicketkeeper, after Matt Prior against Windies at Lord's in 2007, to reach three figures on his Test bow and then caught out Sri Lanka opener Dimuth Karunaratne second ball.

Ali came to the fore in the afternoon and evening, although Foakes was still in the thick of the action with an excellent catch off Ali's off-spin, plus a fine stumping to remove Sri Lanka skipper Dinesh Chandimal off Adil Rashid.

Watch day three of the first Test between England and Sri Lanka live on Sky Sports Cricket from 4.15am on Thursday.
