A quite period for England after that wicket-burst but at the start of the day, had someone told them they'd be 82 for 3, they would have taken it.

Re: England tour of Sri Lanka,
another fine 100 by Jayawardene 
72.1
Patel to DPMD Jayawardene, 1 run, tossed up on the stumps, clipped wristily wide of mid-on, beating the dive of midwicket - he’s got it, a 31st Test hundred and a magnificent knock so far

*****v to Strauss, 1 run, loud cheers for Strauss as he tucks it around the corner for a single to pick up his fifty, must be a relief for the England captain

Re: England tour of Sri Lanka,
[TABLE="class: commsTable"]
84.1
Dilshan to Cook, OUT, 79.9 kph, Cook goes six short! The bowling change works immediately for Sri Lanka, Dilshan comes round the wicket, Cook is forward but fails to cover the line, outside edge to Jayawardene at first slip
**AN Cook c DPMD Jayawardene b Dilshan 94 (278b 9x4 0x6) SR: 33.81 **

Re: England tour of Sri Lanka,
[TABLE="class: commsTable"]
97.5
Herath to Trott, OUT, 78.7 kph, finally some reward for Herath! He gave it more flight and tossed it up slower, Trott was forward to defend and the extra bounce took him by surprise, outside edge at a comfortable height to Jayawardene at first slip, very similar shot to Cook's dismissal
**IJL Trott c DPMD Jayawardene b Herath 64 (137b 7x4 0x6) SR: 46.71 **
[TABLE="class: commsTable"]
98.4
*****v to Pietersen, SIX, on to the second tier! Pietersen was down the track on seeing the flight and that was slammed over long-on, the spectator spills the catch
98.3
*****v to Pietersen, FOUR, 83.2 kph, *****v compensates by dropping it short but Pietersen created an opportunity by going back, exposing the stumps and punching it against the turn past cover, the fielder dives in vain at the rope
98.2
*****v to Pietersen, FOUR, 81.7 kph, *****v is guilty of bowling a low full toss, Pietersen was a long way forward to fetch that and slam it wide of deep square leg
