	Sri Lanka tail deny England
		Tailenders Chaminda Vaas and Nuwan Kulasekara have given Sri Lanka hope of engineering one of the great escapes in Test history with an unbroken ninth-wicket stand of 89 on the final day of the first Test at Lord's.
		Kulasekara stylishy drove Sajid Mahmood to the cover-boundary as Sri Lanka went past their previous best ninth-wicket stand against England of 83, set by Hashan Tillekeratne and Muralitharan at Colombo in 1992/93.
		Kulasekara, looking increasingly assured against the quicks, then swept Panesar for six before repeating the stroke to go to a 92-ball fifty, also featuring five fours, as Sri Lanka reached 500.

	Sri Lankan tailenders deny England victory
		London: Tailenders Chaminda Vaas and Nuwan Kulasekara ensured Sri Lanka achieved one of the great escapes in Test history as the tourists drew their series opener against England on the final day at Lord's.
		But the fact that Sri Lanka were eventually in a position to avoid defeat owed much to a century Sunday from their captain and Mahela Jayawardene, after he top-scored with 61 in his team's meagre first innings 192.
		Kulasekara swept under-used left-arm spinner Monty Panesar for six before repeating the stroke to go to a maiden Test fifty as Sri Lanka reached 500.

		The national selectors recalled middle-order batsman Russel Arnold and fast bowler Nuwan Kulasekara for Sri Lanka's cricket tour to New Zealand starting later this month.
		Arnold forced himself into recognition with a series of fine batting performances for his club NCC in the Premier trophy tournament and his firm Hatton National Bank in the Mercantile 'A' division tournament this in the ongoing season.
		Nuwan Zoysa, Dilhara Fernando and Farveez Maharoof are the other seamers in the side.

		The light closed in during the final session however it wasn't the weather that saved Sri Lanka, but two courageous innings from Chaminda Vaas and Nuwan Kulasekara plus England's continued failure to take their chances.
		Kulasekara also benefited from being missed, on 14, when Alastair Cook fluffed the chance at gully early in the afternoon session.
		Panesar was introduced with a relatively hard ball and Kulasekara twice lofted him over midwicket, the second of which brought up a maiden Test fifty off 92 balls and also carried Sri Lanka past 500.

		After Matthew Hoggard had ended Kulasekara's outstanding 64, Flintoff sent a fierce delivery down to Muralitharan which rapped him on the gloves.
		England took two wickets during a shortened morning session and were expected to finally end Sri Lanka's resistance, which had started on Saturday afternoon after being asked to follow-on.
		Vaas used all his experience and was as comfortable in the middle as any of the top order, with a solid defence proving unbreakable by the England attack.

		After a partnership of ten, debutant seamer Nuwan Kulasekara found a gap between the bad and pad of Clarke to bowl the all-rounder for just two.

		Tailenders Chaminda Vaas and Nuwan Kulasekara ensured Sri Lanka achieved one of the great escapes in Test history as the tourists drew their series opener against England.
		Their Sri Lankan record ninth-wicket stand of 105 compounded the effect of a shoddy England fielding display which saw the hosts drop nine catches.
		Vaas, after a brief bad light stoppage, was then dropped on 41 at backward-point by a leaping Paul Collingwood, who got two hands to the ball, off Sajid Mahmood.

		Like Vaas, his fellow pace bowlers Nuwan Zoysa and Nuwan Kulasekara as well as leg-spinner Malinga Bandara each picked up two second-innings wickets.

		Giles made 21, the second highest score after Paul Collingwood’s 31, as England struggled to put bat to ball in seaming conditions.
		Kulasekara, making his debut along with Fernando, scalped all-rounder Rikki Clarke and Ian Blackwell even as seasoned spinners Muttiah Muralitharan and Upul Chandana removed the lower order.

		Sri Lanka, following-on in reply to England's first innings 551 for six declared, closed on 537 for nine — 178 ahead — after 14 hours of resistance in an innings lasting 199 overs.
		But not since New Zealand last man Danny Morrison had batted for nearly three hours during a last-wicket stand of 106 with Nathan Astle at Auckland in 1997 had England been so remarkably denied what had at one time seemed certain victory by gutsy tail-end batting.

		Dilhara Fernando, Nuwan Kulasekara, Farveez Maharoof and Ruchira Perera, at the time of writing, have just done their bit in ensuring a drawn Test series and are plugging away in an already won One-day series over a somewhat haplessly depleted England set-up.
		Four Tests down the line and One-dayers amounting somewhere in the teens this feisty little medium-pacer hit the scene back in 2003 against England and has since made steady progress in his short stint in the international ranks.
