Prasanna Jayawardene takes charge

Prasanna Jayawardene's composed century and a late wicket for Suranga Lakmal damaged England's hopes of starting the international summer with victory in the first npower Test in Cardiff.

After a rain-affected first day, England enjoyed a fine start yesterday morning when Sri Lanka lynchpin Mahela Jayawardene was undone by James Anderson without a run added to the overnight total of 133 for two.

But his namesake's 112, his third Test ton, steered his team to 400 all out and Andrew Strauss fell before the close as England reached stumps on 47 for one.
