Live - Sri Lanka v England

Kandy, 1-5 December 2007
First Test, Kandy (day five): Sri Lanka 188 & 442-8 declared v England 281 & 9-1 (5 overs)

England are set for a difficult final day when the first Test against Sri Lanka in Kandy resumes.

The tourists are 9-1, chasing an unlikely victory target of 350 - which would be the highest victorious fourth-innings in their history.

Alastair Cook fell cheaply, and captain Michael Vaughan is at the crease with nightwatchman James Anderson.

But England must bat through the day to avoid defeat, with Sri Lanka spinner Muttiah Muralitharan in top form.
