England get off to a positive start on day five with Michael Vaughan reaching his 16th Test fifty But he falls for 61 when he is caught and bowled by Dilhara Fernando, leaving England 107-1 Fernando is congratulated by his team-mates for making the breakthrough midway through the first session Cook is out the first ball after lunch when he edges Silva to Jayawardene in the slips for 62 Bell opens his shoulders and plays some glorious shots to wipe out England's deficit but holes out on 54 Collingwood survives a hairy moment against Muralitharan, who only claims one wicket in the innings Pietersen pads away a delivery from Chamara Silva and England reach 250-3 at tea, KP 45 not out The covers are brought on as rain looms over the Sinhalese Sports Club ground shortly after the players go off for tea Rain duly brings play to halt and the Test is drawn, leaving Sri Lanka leading the series 1-0
