England v Sri Lanka, first Test, Lord's, day one
Sri Lanka 1st innings 314-3 (at close)

Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya wins the toss and elects to bat first under the Lord's sunshine

Alec Stewart looks hopefully at the umpire as Jayasuriya makes an unsuccessful attempt to make the crease

But the tide soon turns as Marvan Atapattu and Mahela Jayawardene strike up a formidable partnership

Frustration sets in as England struggle to cope with the big-hitting Sri Lankans

Two fantastic performances culminate with Jayawardene and Atapattu grabbing centuries

England finally have something to smile about as Andrew Flintoff claims the wicket of Jayawardene for 107
