Morning rain on day three delays the start of play with England eager to step up the pressure exerted on day two
With Sri Lanka still 68 runs behind at 86-4 overnight, spectators have to make do with replays on the big screen
The umpires plan a resumption at 1645 BST after the weather clears and groundstaff work hard to dry the playing surface
While some of the Saturday crowd find other ways to entertain themselves before play finally gets underway
Michael Vandort continues to frustrate England's best efforts and reaches a patient fifty after play resumes
Andrew Flintoff fields off his own bowling as Vandort and Tillakaratne Dilshan close down England's lead
Dilshan also reaches his fifty, with some powerful play behind square as Sri Lanka overhaul England's first-innings lead
But Hoggard brings the 125-run partnership to an end, trapping Dilshan lbw and leaving Sri Lanka 40 ahead on 194-5
