The Sri Lankan cricket team toured England from 14 May to 9 July 2011. The tour consisted of three Tests, one Twenty20 International (T20I) and five One Day Internationals (ODIs) between Sri Lanka and England.[1]
Jonathan Trott's score of 203 is the highest score by an English batsman against Sri Lanka, beating the previous score of 174 set by Graham Gooch in 1991.[2] Sri Lanka's second innings total of 82 was their fifth-lowest Test total.[3] Thisara Perera made his Test debut for Sri Lanka in this game.[4]
On the opening day, England's batsmen were reduced to 22 for 3, before battling back to finish the day on 342 for 6. This included a record stand for the sixth wicket against Sri Lanka, when Eoin Morgan and Matt Prior made 101 runs.[5] Sri Lankan captain Tillakaratne Dilshan score of 193 was the highest score made by a Sri Lankan at Lord's and Dilshan's highest Test Match score.[6] Dilshan also suffered a broken thumb from a delivery on the third day by Chris Tremlett that caused him to miss the Third Test.[7] England wicketkeeper Matt Prior was reprimanded by the International Cricket Council for breaking a window in the dressing room after he was run out.[8]
This was the first ever Test match to be played at The Rose Bowl.[9] Sri Lankan batsman Lahiru Thirimanne made his Test Match debut. Chris Tremlett made his best Test figures to date with 6 for 48.[10]
