Jonathan Trott ground his way to a painstaking, chanceless double century as the rain-affected first test between England and Sri Lanka headed for a draw on Sunday. Trott was finally bowled for 203 five overs from the close, his second test double hundred, in an England total of 491 for five at the end of the fourth day.
After rain had delayed the start of play by 210 minutes, England lead Sri Lanka by 91 runs with Ian Bell on 98 not out. Alastair Cook was dismissed for 133 early in the day’s play and Bell then shared a stand of 160 with his Warwickshire colleague Trott. Kevin Pietersen (3) succumbed to left-arm spin for the 19th time in tests in just over three years.
Holy concise data btaman. Lol!
