England stymie SL

Mark Butcher's hundred was the cornerstone of England's resistance as they drew with Sri Lanka in the first Test of their three match series here at Lord's on Monday.
England captain Nasser Hussain eventually called a halt after 12 hours and 44 minutes of defiance, his team reaching 529 for five declared.
That left Sri Lanka needing a highly improbable 250 for victory with just over an hour of the final session remaining after they had piled up 555 for eight declared in their first innings.
The tourists lost first innings centurion and man-of-the-match Marvan Atapattu for seven when he was caught at short backward square leg by Butcher off Andrew Caddick.
Come the finish on the fifth and final day when they had made 42 for one with Kumar Sangakkara six not out and Mahela Jayawardene 14 not out.
The result meant that Sri Lanka failed to win what would have been their tenth successive Test victory.
It also maintained their record of failing to win in the 12 Tests where they have been without Muttiah Muralitharan since the off-spinner made his debut in 1992.
Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya said: "We scored over 500 runs, bowled well and fielded well.
"I'm not surprised by the result. Our batsmen are experienced and they played well."
Murali, watching from the pavilion after shoulder treatment in Australia, might have disrupted England's progress as they serenely moved to safety.
And Jayasuriya admitted: "You never know, it might have been a different story (if Muralitharan had played)."
He also defended the defensive field placings he employed on Monday. "We had a plan. I didn't want to give away any more runs."
Hussain said both his batsmen and bowlers had shown a lack of discipline.
"To be 275 all out (England's first innings score) on a flat one against Sri Lanka without Muralitharan is not good enough."
Turning to his bowlers, Hussain added that while they had been forced to operate on a good batting wicket, they had nevertheless under-performed.
"The bowlers didn't show the disciplines needed," said Hussain.
