England on top

Third Test, Old Trafford, day one (close):

England 273-4 v Sri Lanka

Marcus Trescothick goes on the offensive as the England openers start aggresivley

Michael Vaughan and Marcus Trescothick punish some wayward Sri Lankan bowling

But Vaughan is caught for 33 after Dilhara Fernando deceives him with a slower ball

Trescothick hits a rapid half century, helped by several dropped catches from the Sri Lankan fielders

Trescothick is eventually caught for 81 by Mahela Jayawardene at first slip off a Muralitharan ball

Graham Thorpe stands in disbelief as he is given out shortly before the close of play
