Alastair Cook fell six runs short of his 20th Test century but England were still in position to build a big first-innings lead after the third morning of the second Test against Sri Lanka.
Cook nicked Tillakaratne Dilshan to slip on 94, equalling his best score of the winter in a stoic 278-ball knock.
That formed the centrepiece of England's 239 for two at lunch, with the tourists just 36 behind.
Jonathan Trott was 62 not out having been in fluent touch, with Kevin Pietersen on 18no.
