England all-rounder Ben Stokes is facing several weeks on the sidelines after being ruled out of the second Test against Sri Lanka with a knee injury.

Stokes has been replaced in England's 12-man squad by Warwickshire all-rounder Chris Woakes.

Durham star Stokes jarred his left knee during England's crushing innings and 88-run win in the first Test at Headingley.

He will now miss the second of the three-match series, which starts at his Chester-le-Street home ground on Friday.

The 24-year-old, who is due to see a specialist on Tuesday, could be out of action for as long as six weeks.

That would see him miss both the final two Tests against Sri Lanka and the subsequent five-match one-day international series with the islanders starting on June 21.
