England v Sri Lanka photos

England captain Andrew Flintoff has cloudy conditions early on day four as he sets about trying to wrap up the first Test

Sri Lanka pass 200 and Jayawardene completes his second fifty of the match, his 30th in Tests, from 98 balls

Flintoff delays taking the new ball as the old one offers some swing - Liam Plunkett in particular enjoys an impressive spell

Monty Panesar keeps up the good work bowling some beauties but a period of awful fielding by England gives Sri Lanka hope

Flintoff decides to hand the new ball to Hoggard - but as lunch is taken honours for the first session go to Sri Lanka

Jayawardene and Farveez Maharoof continue to frustrate England's bowlers - until Mahmood makes the breakthrough

Mahmood takes two wickets in three overs - first Maharoof is caught by Pietersen then Samaraweera edges to Jones for 6

Jayawardene celebrates his ton - but Sri Lanka leave the field for bad light on 339-5, 20 short of making England bat again

The players return to the field - Sri Lanka soon surpass England's total leaving Hoggard and Flintoff with a headache

Jayawardene and Tillekaratne Dilshan seem comfortable at the crease and hopes of a draw increase as bad light stops play

Another delay focuses Flintoff who comes out all guns blazing to dismiss Jayawardene for 119 - caught by Jones behind

The dismissal is celebrated but with Sri Lanka 22 ahead on 381-6 and rain forecast for Monday, time is running out
