Jayawardene to lead Lankans at 4/1

It's been a topsy-turvey series for both the England and Sri Lanka batsmen but Mahela Jayawardene has looked in control, if without the scores to prove it, and he is 4/1 to be Sri Lanka's top batsman in the fourth ODI at Lord's.

While his team-mates were falling around him at The Oval, Jayawardene was the man keeping his side in the run-chase with a composed innings, a silly run-out followed at Durham, but at Old Trafford among the carnage he spent the longest time at the crease and played the swinging ball well.

One of the most beautiful batsmen in the world, Jayawardene has the experience in England to excel and has so far in this series coped with conditions very well. He's the man to back at Lord's at 4/1.
