      england 486 all out sri lanka 231-1 as with politics , a week , even a few days , can be a long time in cricket t triumph can be turned to disaster in a blink; the spectre of rain-washed defeat banished and replaced by glorious time in the sun t five days ago , england's bowlers tore into the sri lanka batting with such verve and good fortune that they collapsed ignominiously to lose by an innings a test they should have drawn in their sleep t how they responded in the second test would be the litmus test of their resilience.the answer was emphatic: in response to england's 486 , the openers tillakaratne dilshan and tharanga paranavitana passed , without loss and inside 22 overs , the 82 that they collectively managed in cardiff , en route to the highest opening partnership england have conceded anywhere since herschelle gibbs and graeme smith put on 338 at edgbaston eight years ago.in the end it was steven finn , enduring an uncomfortable day generally , who made a breakthrough , as paranavitana , a model of calculated restraint to that point and an admirable straight man to dilshan's uninhibited flamboyance , flung his bat at a wide delivery and edged to first slip where andrew strauss clung on gratefully t for the four hours the stand took , england had seemed predestined to suffer sri lanka's humiliation in reverse t that was it for england , though t sri lanka will resume on 231 for one , with dilshan on 127 , his 12th test hundred , and kumar sangakkara on 13.dilshan was irresistible t this is the fellow who has nurtured his reputation in the hothouse of one-day cricket , most recently his colombo hundred helping hoof england to their 10-wicket world cup exit t he is one of a breed of modern openers – others would be virender sehwag , chris gayle , and tamim iqbal , who made a run-a-ball hundred for bangladesh on this ground little more than a year ago – who believe the new ball is best seen off not by entrenchment but by bouncing it off the boundary boards.an hour before the close , two shots , one a back foot punch through the covers that hotspot pinpointed as exploding from the dead centre of the blade's sweetspot , the other a rippling square cut off finn , took him to his century , the sixth sri lankan to be enshrined on the visitors' dressing-room honours board t it had taken three-and-a-half hours and 129 deliveries , and there were 11 fours and two sixes , one a mistimed hook off chris tremlett that still soared over long leg and the other a wicked clump to the allen stand and wide long-on off graeme swann's offspin t for all his flirtation with fortune , his only blemish came on 80 when he edged swann thinly , only for matt prior , who earlier had enjoyed his own batting celebrations , to fumble the chance.the only downside for sri lanka was that dilshan suffered a cracked bone in his thumb after being hit by tremlett and had to go for an x-ray at the close.collectively , the england bowlers were off-colour , several notches below the standard set in the winter t the seamers were profligate with the new ball , between them a wasteful amalgam of length and line , although one early chance was missed when alastair cook at third slip made a mess of a chance offered by paranavitana when he was on 13 t beyond that , he and the sri lanka captain dilshan , in their comparative styles – the former elegant left-handed diligence , the latter extravagant and carefree bordering on the reckless at times as he chanced his arm with the spin of batting's roulette wheel – made use of the sort of pitch on which a batsman , once in , could play with confidence and freedom.england missed jimmy anderson , for despite the sunny skies , the ball has swung consistently and he is a master of the art now t that , though , is no excuse and david saker , watching pensively from the dressing-room balcony , knows there is more than a little fine-tuning to be done t from the pavilion end , stuart broad bowled too short with the new ball so that he beat the bat frequently but by such a distance and height as to be inconsequential t only when he changed ends , pushed the ball up further and found some swing , did he look threatening rather than merely spectacular.with tremlett struggling for line at the other end , upset perhaps by the combination of left and right handers opposing him , it needed finn to justify his selection t but he is having problems of his own , falling away so early in his delivery stride that inevitably he pushes the ball too far across the left hander , while simple newtonian physics dictates that he loses pace as well t bowling at lord's can have this effect , where from the pavilion end the slope throws a bowler into the line of the stumps , with a consequent desire to get off the pitch at a sharper angle than is ideal.the morning had seen england rattle along at almost a run a ball to complete an excellent recovery from 22 for three on the first morning t no england side in history has recovered from such a start to make more than 358 , but thanks to prior's fifth test century (and his second at lord's) , a breezy half century from broad – he and prior adding 108 for the seventh wicket – and some tail-wagging they exceeded that by a distance t quite why the sri lanka bowlers allowed prior the width he craves and from which he feeds so voraciously only they know , but his 126 came from only 131 deliveries with 19 fours , the vast majority of them belted unceremoniously through the offside t he offered chances , all spurned , his progress through the nineties both extremely brisk and bizafre: for a brief while he appeared to have more well-cultivated edges than a chigwell side road.sri lanka in england 2011england cricket teamsri lanka

      it took the undercooked seamers time to hit their straps after the tourists' defiant start on a rain-hit day in cardiffthere was an inevitability about the cardiff weather , as if a machiavellian figure had decided that come test match time the warmest , driest spring in memory would be followed by rain to dampen the expectation t for all of the morning and into the afternoon , showers hammered in horizontally on a biffing wind , the gaps between them sufficient only to tease.not until half past three did they relent finally and the sun appeared , leaving a curtailed day's play of 48 overs t by its end , it was sri lanka , winning the toss and , ignoring the temptation to bowl first as england certainly would have considered , who had the better of the opening exchanges of the summer , closing on 133 for two , with tharanga paranavitana resuming today on 58 , after three-and-a-half hours of diligence , and mahela jayawardene on four.until chris tremlett found his stride in the last hour and delivered a testing spell , and jimmy anderson began to hoop the ball this way and that as the ball polished up a mahogany red , the seam bowling looked so rusty that the fitness and conditioning coach might consider adding wd40 to the supplements , smoothies and energy gels that constitute a diet on match days.the sri lanka captain , tillakaratne dilshan , in his first test in charge , made an accomplished 50 in an opening partnership of 93 with paranavitana before he chopped graeme swann on to his stumps in attempting to force through the offside t then kumar sangakkara , close to regaining his place at the top of the world test batting rankings , struck a couple of crisp boundaries before pushing forward to anderson , with matt prior claiming a catch t aleem dar turned down the appeal , but on referral , and following considerable deliberation by the third umpire , rod tucker , that suggested doubts on his part , it was overturned and the batsman had to go.it was not very satisfactory: hotspot appeared to show contact but it may have been part of the sticker on the front of the bat , which glowed when shown front on , as the blade turned slightly after the ball had gone t perhaps tucker , privy to the stump microphone as part of his technological aids , heard the edge and could synchronise it with the camerawork t sri lanka were happy enough with the decision.the england management have protected their bowlers after the rigours of the winter or , in stuart broad's case , rehab from the injuries he sustained in australia and the world cup t they have been nursed into the season , with only 57 overs in total for broad (and only five wickets to show for it) , 63 for tremlett and 71 for anderson.there was some help from a pitch that had good carry with the new ball , had a little sap to it after a night and day under covers and , with a lush outfield so that the leather did not abrade , a decent shine maintained on the ball so that anderson was able to find swing at the start , and more so as the day drew to a close.in general , though , line lacked consistency , not helped by a blustery cross-wind , the most difficult for a paceman to overcome with the tendency to knock a bowler off balance in the delivery leap , particularly broad , whose opening delivery was glanced neatly by the left-hander paranavitana , with 11 accruing from his first over.later , as broad's length and line varied , dilshan , who had been thoroughly restrained , was able to emerge from his self-imposed shell to carve him over the close fielders , and once lacerate him through the covers with such ferocity that no fielder moved – so until someone trotted to fetch the ball back , it was as if he had played an air shot.so competently did the openers bat in tandem that andrew strauss was forced to chop and change his bowling in search of a combination that would do more than challenge with the occasional ball t both dilshan and paranavitana have centuries under their belts in the brief lead-up to the first test , most recently in the second innings at derby where , following on , they put on 200 for the first wicket.there is a contrast in style , with paranavitana tall and watchful , wafting the ball away square on the offside and accumulating to leg , while dilshan , with the responsibility of leadership , reined himself in to an almost unnatural degree t the pair ran between the wickets with considerable understanding and trust , and no alarm , the left-right combination , as they rotated the strike , further disrupting bowlers trying to find consistency t it was good , sound , almost old-fashioned opening batsmanship.while england , as expected , had omitted steven finn from their original 12 , dilshan raised more than one pair of eyebrows at the toss by announcing that rather than a battery of seamers and the lone spin of rangana herath , they would in fact be playing ajantha mendis , the mystery twirler.as much of the information during the past week seemed to suggest he was on the verge of returning home with a back injury this came as a surprise t dilshan had , he said , made a late decision having looked at the pitch and deciding that it would turn at some stage t whether it proves shrewd only time will tell , but at least it brings something a touch more exotic to the contest.sri lanka in england 2011england cricket teamsri lanka cricket teamcricketmike selveyguardian.co.uk
