Sri Lanka win the Mini-session count 13-9.
The more the game went on, the more evident it is that Jayawardene played one of the all time great innings to carry Sri Lanka through to a good score in the first innings.
England probably were in the lead before Prior got out. It seemed that the pitch was one where it was difficult to get in on, but once someone was in it was hard to dislodge them. Prior went to a piece of bad luck, and then England crumbled not long after that.
we need our youngsters to fire...
