England skipper Joe Root closed in on an attacking century to counter Sri Lanka's spin and push the tourists' second-innings lead to 213 in the second Test on Friday.

Root, who is currently in Sri Lanka playing in the ongoing three-match series, took on the spin challenge to remain unbeaten on 98 off 118 deliveries on day three on a spitting Kandy pitch.

The star batsman stitched crucial partnerships including a 74-run fifth wicket stand with Jos Buttler, who England lead the three-match series 1-0.
