Sri Lanka v England day two photos

As England resume on 258-5 Paul Collingwood quickly completes his seventh Test fifty

But the evergreen Chaminda Vaas outwits Collingwood and gives Sri Lanka a key early breakthrough

Matt Prior plays in purposeful fashion to maintain England's hopes of reaching 400 in their first innings

Broad's Test debut with the bat lasts eight balls before he is out, plumb lbw to Malinga for two

Sidebottom is surprised by a bouncer but the doubts over the catch allow the third umpire to reveal the ball hit arm not glove

The England batsmen await the verdict, relieved at least that the decision has the benefit of assessment by the third umpire

But the mercurial Muttiah Muralitharan spins England into further trouble by wrapping up the innings

Muralitharan adds another five-for to his collection - his 62nd in his Test career - as he takes 5-116 off 47.2 overs

Sidebottom strikes to dismiss opener Tharanga for 10 and Vaughan is delighted

Sidebottom claims the vital wicket of Kumar Sangakkara and his colleagues recognise the importance of the strike

But Michael Vandort defies the England attack with a watchful unbeaten fifty in partnership with his captain

Mahela Jayawardene calmly steadies his side and remains the man England must dismiss
