Another win for Sri Lanka

Ted Corbett

MANCHESTER: Mahela Jayawardene is in such good form that for half his innings at Old Trafford on Wednesday he was curling the ball through the field, using shots that might have come from Roger Federer's racquet.

The Sri Lankan captain is batting beautifully, mostly off the front foot too, as innings of 84, 66, 126 and 100 — his eighth one-day century — confirm.

That's an aggregate of 376 and an average of 94; no wonder England is in danger of being whitewashed at home.

Marcus Trescothick and Alastair Cook opened with 77 in 12 overs, Andrew Strauss, out of place at No. 4, made the top score of 45. The task was too much for the rest although once again Dalrymple made encouraging runs before England was all out for 285.
