Jayawardene (144 off 150 balls) shared a classy third-wicket stand of 159 — a Sri Lanka record against England — with Kumar Sangakaara (69) as the tourists’ two star batsmen demoralised the home side’s attack with some elegant shotmaking.
They both perished the same way — stumped by Craig Kieswetter off the bowling of Graeme Swann — before Sri Lanka finished on 309-5.
Tillakaratne Dilshan (9) and Dinesh Chandimal (5) were run out in almost identical fashion to leave the team on 45-2.
