Sri Lanka choked pretty hard in the the first test last summer. 15 wickets had fallen in 273 overs spread over 5 rain-affected days and they had about 50 overs to negotiate and only 96 runs to make to knock off the deficit with England's spearhead injured and unable to bowl.

Blown away in under 25 overs for 82.
