the third Investec Test, live on Sky Sports 2 from Thursday, as England head home to Lords in search of a series whitewash. LeGarrette Blount Jersey . Alastair Cooks men followed up an innings win at Headingley, with a nine-wicket triumph in the second Test at Emirates Riverside to secure the series - an extra special occasion for the skipper as he became the first Englishman to score 10,000 Test runs.It was James Anderson who was man-of-the-match though, his match figures of 8-94 taking his series tally to 18 at an incredible 7.72 average. Alastair Cook (R) and Nick Compton (L) celebrate Englands second Test win in Durham Sri Lanka showed some greater fight in the second Test, with Dinesh Chandimal scoring a first Test hundred outside of Asia as the visitors managed 475 in their second innings, and will hope that form lasts for Lords.Although the Test series is gone for Sri Lanka, a win at Lords can at least reduce their 8-0 deficit in the Super Series format, while defeat will see the need to win all five ODIs and the single T20I just to tie with England.TEAM NEWSEngland have named an unchanged team for the third Test, meaning Chris Woakes keeps his spot in place of the still-injured Ben Stokes, having impressed with match figures of 5-112 in Durham.Woakes efforts means Nottinghamshires Jake Balls wait for his England debut continues with England resisting the temptation to rest one of James Anderson, Stuart Broad, or Steven Finn. Steven Finn will get another opportunity on his home ground after struggling during the first two Tests Nick Compton gets another opportunity to impress at No 3 in the batting order for England, and on his home ground. A first-innings nine for the Middlesex man in the second Test seemingly had his spot under threat, but the selectors have stuck with him. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, are facing a couple of selection issues, including whether to play Shaminda Eranga at a time when his action is under scrutiny, and Kusal Perera - free to play again after the International Cricket Council overturned his doping ban.Fast bowler Eranga has undergone tests on his action in Loughborough after being reported following the second Test but is still awaiting the results so is entitled to line up on Thursday.This comes following the withdrawals of fellow Sri Lanka seamers Dushmantha Chameera and Dhammika Prasad to injuries earlier in the series.FORMSince defeat to Sri Lanka in 2014, England have now lost just one of their last seven Test series in a run that includes victories over India, South Africa and Australia - the one defeat to Pakistan, who tour later this summer.By contrast, in Sri Lankas eight Test series since overcoming England two years ago, theyve now lost six of them with home victories over Pakistan, in 2014, and the West Indies last year their only successes. We look back at the final few thrilling overs between England and Sri Lanka at Lords in 2014. England are looking to secure their first Test series whitewash since beating India 4-0 on home soil in 2011, but have a somewhat mixed record at Lords.The hosts lost on their last to the home of cricket against Australia last year, but have not lost back-to-back Tests at the venue this century.This will be the eighth time England have met Sri Lanka in Tests at Lords, with the visitors still looking for their first win at the iconic venue (D5 L2); however the last four meetings have all ended in draws - including in 2014 when Joe Root hit a double-hundred and Sri Lanka held on with one wicket remaining.Watch England take on Sri Lanka in the third Investec Test at Lords from 10am on Thursday, live on Sky Sports 2.

For the Blue Jays the time was Wednesday and the ace was R.A. Dickey. He stepped up. "I feel some responsibility as a stopper from time to time," said Dickey.Harry Kane can revitalise Tottenhams Champions League campaign, says Hugo Lloris, but Mauricio Pochettino may not risk the striker. Pochettino insists Spurs Champions League tie against Monaco on Tuesday is the clubs priority, despite his side facing Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, but he will set fitness limits on his selection. Spurs trail Monaco by four points and second-placed Bayer Leverkusen by two in Group E following successive home defeats at Wembley, and realistically must win if they are to avoid an early exit. Its clear that tomorrow is the most important game, Pochettino said. Our selection for tomorrow will be if the players that are fit or not, that can play 90 minutes or not. Dele Alli also faces a late fitness test ahead of the trip to Monaco We need to assess Harry Kane, Mousa
