Cricket: Test Match

on BBC Two England

Further live coverage, through to the close of play, of the one-off Test match between England and Sri Lanka at the Oval.
Victory over the flamboyant one-day world champions Sri Lanka, whose enterprising style is epitomised by the likes of batsmen Sanath Jayasuriya and Aravinda de Silva, would cap a successful summer for Alec Stewart's side.
Memorable triumphs at Trent Bridge and Headingley overturned a 1-0 deficit to defeat Hansie Cronje's mighty South African team.
Last time Stewart led England against Sri Lanka in a Test match - five years ago - England were beaten by five wickets. Only two members of that England side are still regulars - Stewart and Michael Atherton - where as the core of the Sri Lankan side remain.
