Sri Lanka find inner strength

On Friday evening, after a powder-puff bowling display and a spineless top-order performance, Sri Lanka lay in tatters. Three days later, one of the most remarkable rearguards had been completed

English armour dented by Sri Lankan pride

England had only themselves to blame, as Sri Lanka pulled off one of the most spectacular escapes of all time, says Andrew Miller

Jayawardene finds his home from home

Mahela Jayawardene is not one of nature's most domineering cricketers. Quiet, polite and unassuming

England drop the baton as Sri Lanka rally

In his 52-match, 202-wicket career, Matthew Hoggard has scarcely looked as enraged as he did when Andrew Strauss at third slip spilled a regulation chance off Mahela Jayawardene

14-May-2006•Andrew Miller at Lord's

Hoggard's content with life in the slower lane

The moment when it came was typical Hoggard. Flat on his back and chuckling merrily to himself, the tenth England cricketer to bag 200 Test wickets was a picture of modest contentment

Lord's acclaims the cult of Panesar

At 3.33pm, with an over to go until tea, England's fans and fielders were beginning to drift into an afternoon ennui. Sri Lanka's batsmen had got to grips with the conditions, and their rearguard was set to carry on for another day

Mahmood makes his mark in seamer's paradise

Ever since the English season was extended to incorporate Tests in May, Lord's has been the scene of an inordinate number of slaughters

New model Kevin takes the straight approach

Two Tests in London, two innings of 158, eight months and a thousand stories between them. There was a neat and inevitable symmetry to Kevin Pietersen's homecoming innings at Lord's today

England disperse the clouds of winter

Marcus Trescothick returned to Test cricket with 106 and Alastair Cook struck 89 as England reached a commanding 318 for 3 on the first day against Sri Lanka at Lord's

When a win is just not enough

Martin Williamson says the Zimbabwe side have battled all the way, but what has really been alarming is quite how poor West Indies have been

One step forward, two back

It's one step forward, and two back for Bangladesh

A sweet kind of revenge

Rahul Dravid's ecstatic celebration upon affecting the run-out of Inzamam-ul-Haq told a tale

19-Apr-2006•The Verdict by Dileep Premachandran

Similar contest, dissimilar roles

On a sluggish pitch, against disciplined bowling, India's challenge fizzled out before the second Power Play had come to an end

The tailender who isn't

Unlike Samson, at first glance, Jason Gillespie hasn't lost any strength

18-Apr-2006•The Verdict by Osman Samiuddin

Second fiddle, first class

Stuart MacGill rarely looks happy. Not when he delivers the ball, not when he is hit for four, not when he beats the bat and certainly not when an appeal is turned down

16-Apr-2006•The Verdict by Osman Samiuddin

Experimenting their way to success

Uthappa's confident, stroke-filled 86 was another small victory for those that insist that a strong bench is essential if a World Cup win is even to be contemplated

15-Apr-2006•Dileep Premachandran in Indore

Peerless Ponting too good for Bangladesh

Ricky Ponting's splendid face-saving century at Fatullah was his ninth in 14 Tests

13-Apr-2006•Dileep Premachandran

Snatching away a slice of history

Matthew Hayden showed how much he has changed, Ricky Ponting showed how much he hasn't but Bangladesh showed that Bangladesh will not back down so readily

13-Apr-2006•The Verdict by Osman Samiuddin

A breather for England

England registered their first ODI win of the series, in conditions as different from those they are used to and most comfortable in, as is humanly possible
