England faced a modest target of 94 to win the second Test against Sri Lanka after they dismissed the hosts for 278 in their second innings just before lunch on the fifth day on Saturday.

Off-spinner Graeme Swann picked up six wickets in the innings to finish with a match-haul of 10.

England, who lost the first Test in Galle, need a win to level the two-match series and retain their number one ranking.
