News summary

England will face Sri Lanka in the second Test at Lord's with Olly Stone replacing the injured Mark Wood. Stone, who last played a Test in 2021, returns after recovering from multiple injuries, including four stress fractures in his back. England leads the three-match series following a five-wicket victory at Old Trafford. The team remains largely unchanged, with key players like Joe Root, Harry Brook, and Jamie Smith continuing after strong performances. Sri Lanka, needing a win to stay in the series, will look to improve their batting lineup, which struggled in the first Test. The match starts on Thursday, with favorable weather predicted for the initial days.
