England v Sri Lanka 2nd Test
Second Test, Edgbaston:Sri Lanka 141 all out v England (day one, tea)
Plunkett had three wickets, and could even have had a fourthSri Lanka were all out for 141 on the stroke of tea on day one of the second Test against England at Edgbaston.
Liam Plunkett took 3-43, his best figures in Test cricket, after Sri Lanka had opted to bat first.
Chaminda Vaas was not out 30 when Muttiah Muralitharan skied to point after Monty Panesar had ended a 50-run stand for the ninth wicket.
Matthew Hoggard, Sajid Mahmood and Andrew Flintoff all collected two wickets in a fine team effort.
Things could have gone even better for England, though they will not be too disgruntled by their performance thus far.
Tillekeratne Dilshan, caught off a Plunkett no-ball having made just two, was the first man to fall after lunch when Flintoff had him smartly held by Marcus Trescothick at first slip.
Dilshan's 27 was the second best score by a Sri Lankan.
Trescothick smoothly accepted his second chance in the next over as Nuwan Kulasekara was outhought by Mahmood
But England had to wait more than an hour for their next wicket as Vaas and Lasith Malinga put on 50 for the ninth wicket, more than doubling the next best partnership in the innings.
Finally, Monty Panesar, who spilt a simple chance at mid-off before Malinga had scored - depriving Plunkett of a fourth wicket - became the third England bowler to strike in his first over.
Malinga was the man to go, lbw for 26, and just four runs short of his best score in first-class cricket.

Although the pitch was not devilishly hard to bat on, there was consistent swing and seam movement throughout the session.
After so much rain in the past week, the bright conditions at the toss perhaps seduced Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene into thinking it was better to bat first.


Batting at four, he was strapping his pads on earlier than he would have hoped after Upul Tharanga played around a ball from Hoggard that swung through his gate.
Plunkett was called on to bowl the seventh over of the morning and struck with his third ball when Michael Vandort, replacing Jehan Mubarak in the side, edged to Paul Collingwood at gully.
The prize wicket came just three balls later.
Jayawardene, Sri Lanka's centurion at Lord's, nibbled at a ball that left him a fraction and Geraint Jones accepted the catch.
Hoggard continued to bowl immaculately and was rewarded again when Collingwood took his second catch.
This time, the Durham man was standing in the unusual position of fourth slip, where he accepted an edge from Thilan Samaraweera.
Sangakkara had done much of the hard work and had struck three sweet boundaries off the back foot when, on 25, he was tempted to play at a wide delivery by Hoggard.
The result was Jones' second of three catches in the innings.
Farveez Maharoof was dropped twice, once by Collingwood (a brute of a chance) and once by Andrew Strauss (a basic slip catch).
But there was no major damage done, Mahmood having him caught behind by Jones as Sri Lanka stumbled into lunch on 65-6.
England were unchanged from the team that drew at Lord's while Sri Lanka, as well as adding Vandort, brought in paceman Malinga for batsman Chamara Kapugedera.
