SriLanka In Commanding Position 278/6 in 50 overs

Some good display of hard hitting at the end of the innings got SriLanka in a commanding position in the match as they got 64 runs in the final 10 overs of the innings .K.Sangakara remained not out till the end as his scored 107 in 137 balls with 13 fours . SriLanka got to a good score of 278/6 in their 50 overs and are mos favourable to win this match as it will be difficult to bat in the 2nd innings . England need 279 in 50 overs at a run rate of 5.58 rpo.

Srilanka played well right from the start but they need some really good batting in the end to get the score past 260 . Chapple and Dalrymple completed there spells and were economical and also got 1 wicket each . Then A.Strauss decided to give the ball to the fast bowlers at the end of the innings . S.Mahmood was bowling well but Arnold was playing nicely and was getting 1's and 2's . Sangakara was also going along nicely in his 80's . S.Harmison was brought in the attack and SriLankan batsmen went after his bowling . They were trying to get boundaries almost on each ball which forced the bowler to make some error and gave some runs in byes and extras.
England fielders were trying their level best to save the boundaries and Cook and Collingwood were diving and sliding in the field and giving their 100 % to stop the flow of the boundaries.

R.Arnold was playing well and was getting 1's and giving the strike back to K.Sangakara who was playing in the 90's . Arnold was looking confident and got himself adjusted to the wicket . It was looking as if both the batsmen were going to blast in the end and will get a huge total on the board. Sangakara was on 93 when he tried to play a square cut to S.Harmison but there was a definite nick and all the players were appealing for caught behind. All of them were confident about the edge but the umpire said turned that one down. Harmison was very much disappointed as it was big wicket and also there was definite sound that the ball just nicked the bat . Harmison was waiting for the snickometer on the big screen .Snickometer confirmed that there a slight inside edge.

Meanwhile K.Sangakara was on 98 and was looking for his century . S.Mahmood overpitched one outside the offstump and Sangakara played that one throught the covers for 4 and brought up his 100 in style .Crowd were enjoying this moment and were giving a huge round of applause for his magnificant century in difficult conditions .Truely well deserved.
Sangakara reached his century in 131 balls.

Soon after K.Sangakara's century Harmison got another wicket as R.Arnold wa bowled by a delivery whick kept very low and Arnold misjudged it and left it alone. This were the signs of the ball keeping low and in the 2nd innings it will be every difficult for England to bat . Arnold scored 13 runs in 19 balls with just 1 four . Hawkeye shows that the ball was pitched short and kept low whick jut got the top of the off stump.

C.Vaas was the new man in and with only 2 overs left in the innings he was hoping to get maximum runs possible . S.Mahmood bowled one on the pads of Vaas and was smashed for 4 . Next ball he came around the wicket and picthed the ball upto the batsman. Vaas missed that one completely and it struck on his pads and there was huge appeal but the umpire turned that one down .Hawkeye confirmed that it was hitting him outside the line of offstump.
Next ball Vaas went for a big on on the leg side and connected that handsomely for 6. This was the 1st six in SriLankan innings. Next ball Vaas once again went for the big one this time he got a top edge and it was a simple catch to L.Plunkett.
