Sri Lanka looking to make amends against England

The Sri Lankans were lucky to escape with a 1-0 loss in the rain-disrupted three-match series, their bowling attack sorely missing spin great Muttiah Muralitharan and fast bowler Lasith Malinga, who have both quit test cricket in the past year.However, buoyed by the return of Malinga and their recent run to the World Cup final, which included a 10-wicket hammering of England in the quarterfinals, the tourists will be a different proposition in the shorter formats.They could also have captain Tillakaratne Dilshan back from a broken thumb that caused him to miss the drawn third test in Southampton.We are leaving it until the last minute with his thumb, and well take a decision then, Sri Lanka team manager Anura Tennakoon said.
