England captain Andrew Strauss fell for a duck while Jonathan Trott was dismissed on 58 as the second Test against Sri Lanka entered an intriguing one-innings-per-side shoot-out at Lord's here yesterday. England were 131 for two in the post tea session of the fourth day, a lead of 138 runs after Sri Lanka had made 479 in reply to the hosts' first innings score of 486. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/jun/straussout.jpg" border="5" /> Andrew Strauss Alastair Cook was 56 not out while Kevin Pietersen was unbeaten on three. Strauss on his Middlesex home ground, was plumb lbw on the backfoot to left-arm seamer Chanaka Welegedara off the second ball of the innings and his fruitless review left England none for one. Rain, which had washed out all of yesterday's morning session and more than half of Sunday's scheduled play, was still in the air. But as England's innings and 14-run first Test victory in Cardiff ufffd where Sri Lanka were dismissed for 82 inside 25 overs ufffd showed there was time yet for either side to force a win in the second of this three-match series. Earlier, Sri Lanka's Prasanna Jayawardene, who made 112 in Sri Lanka's first innings in Cardiff, frustrated England with the bat yet again.
