Sangakkara leads the way

Sri Lanka 337 for 7 v Glamorgan

Sri Lanka's batsmen continued to prosper as they began their tour match against Glamorgan in typical style.

Kumar Sangakkara led the way with a century as the four left-handers at the top of the order looked set to steer them to over 400. The pace slowed as Glamorgan claimed four wickets for 21 runs late in the day but Sanath Jayasuriya will be happy with his side's efforts.

It was the captain who set the tone with a rapid 57 in an opening stand of 97 with Russel Arnold before he was caught behind by Mark Wallace off Alex Wharf. Sangakkara scored a chanceless century before becoming Wallace's second victim off Darren Thomas for 113.

Robert Croft was Glamorgan's most economical bowler, with 1 for 61 from 27 overs while Wharf claimed 4 for 71

* The Sri Lanka team manager Chandra Schaafter does not expect Muttiah Muralitharan to be ready for the second Test at Edgbaston, but is hoping he might be fit for the third at Old Trafford. Muralitharan briefly turned his right arm on the outfield at Cardiff yesterday, but his action is restricted by the injury to his left shoulder. "It seems very unlikely he will play in the second Test and we are only hoping he can play in the third," said Schaafter. "It is just a matter of how quickly he gets back into shape."
