Steve Harmison makes the breakthrough on the fourth morning, removing Jehan Mubarak with a snorter Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene scores 195 before falling to Monty Panesar in Colombo England continue their fightback as Stuart Broad claims his first Test wicket, removing Chaminda Vaas Lasith Malinga's batting is more orthodox than his bowling, but still idiosyncratic enough to baffle Ian Bell Malinga eventually falls to Panesar just after lunch and it looks as though England will soon wrap up the innings But Prasanna Jayawardene survives two dropped catches to reach his second Test fifty and frustrate England Luck does not go England's way as a Fernando edge off Harmison flies harmlessly between keeper and slip Jayawardene and Fernando put on 98 for the ninth wicket to frustrate England, before declaring on 548-9 England start their second innings 197 runs adrift of Sri Lanka but Michael Vaughan guides the team to the close
