Sri Lanka skipper to miss series finale

Sri Lanka captain Tillakaratne Dilshan will miss the third Test against England with a broken thumb. Dilshan suffered the injury after being hit twice by deliveries from England fast bowler Chris Tremlett during the second npower Test at Lord's. Dilshan went on to score 193 in the draw, but team manager Anura Tennekoon has confirmed the injury means he will miss the final Test at the Rose Bowl. Tennekoon said: "He definitely won't be playing. "The main reason we've kept him out of this Test match is that, had he played and got another blow while fielding on that thumb, he might have been out for the rest of the tour. "So as a precautionary measure, we have kept him out." Kumar Sangakkara will captain the side in his absence with Sri Lanka needing a win to tie the series.
