Sri Lanka start day four 40 runs ahead at 194-5 and Michael Vandort soon reaches his first Test ton against England

Andrew Flintoff eventually finds the breakthrough, forcing an easy caught and bowled chance from Farveez Maharoof

And Liam Plunkett picks up three quick wickets in a lively new-ball spell that breaks the back of Sri Lanka's resistance

England celebrate as Plunket's dismissal of Vandort leaves Sri Lanka all out for 231 with only a slender 78-run advantage

England's run chase starts badly when Marcus Trescothick is trapped lbw by Mutiah Muralitharan's doosra before lunch

Andrew Strauss is unlucky to be given out caught slip off Muralitharan as England wobble slightly at 35-2

Muralitharan picks up his third wicket when another doosra traps first-innings hero Kevin Pietersen plumb in front for 13

Paul Collingwood becomes Murali's 10th wicket of the match as England progress gingerly towards their target of 78

But Alistair Cook and Flintoff see England home to take a 1-0 series lead ahead of the final Test at Trent Bridge on Friday

Sometime Lancashire team-mates Muralitharan and Flintoff share a word as the players make their way off the pitch
