It was initially thought that Dilshan had just a badly-bruised thumb after being hit twice by Chris Tremlett during his 193 in Sri Lanka's first innings.
But after remaining off the field on Monday, he was sent for more x-rays - which revealed bad news.
A team spokesman this morning confirmed: "He has suffered a hairline fracture. He will bat only if absolutely necessary."
Sri Lanka may yet be vulnerable in this second match of the npower series, as they proved in the first Test in Cardiff, if England decide to push for victory rather than settle for a draw on Tuesday.
The hosts reached 149 for two last night, for an overall lead of 156.
