James Anderson puts England in charge in warm-up match James Anderson shouldered the wicket-taking burden in the absence of the injured Stuart Broad as England took control of their warm-up match against a Sri Lankan Board XI in Colombo. The day started badly for the tourists, with Broad withdrawing from the match after tripping on a boundary rope and spraining his left ankle. The problem is not thought to be serious, though the seamer will be monitored overnight by the medical team. Steven Finn was the recipient of an unexpected chance to impress, but it was the familiar figure of Anderson amongst the wickets. He turned in figures of four for 19 at tea as the hosts slipped to 134 for seven. Monty Panesar also chipped in with two and Finn accounted for top-scorer Ashen Silva. England, sent into the field, started with maidens at both ends before Anderson took the first wicket of the tour in the fifth over. He located the edge of Dimuth Karunaratne, who failed to score, and the ball carried through to the diving Matt Prior behind the stumps. Ashen Silva lost another partner in the ninth over as Anderson had Banuka Rajapakse held at third slip fending at one outside off stump. Ravi Bopara, picked ahead of Samit Patel in the all-rounder's slot, was called on to bowl the 10th over and immediately found a hint of movement. Finn had a good lbw shout against Roshan Silva turned down in the first over of his second spell, while Graeme Swann thought he had him caught at the wicket for seven only to be denied. Panesar had to wait until the 22nd over for a bowl, but was quickly into his stride with four maidens from five overs before lunch. Anderson resumed at the start of the afternoon session and struck for the third time in the first over back. Roshan Silva, having been beaten moments previously, inside edged the ball on to his stumps to depart for 21. The Lancastrian continued his one man show in his next over, trapping captain Prasanna Jayawardene lbw for two to leave the home side 67 for four. Sachithra Serasinghe upped the scoring when he arrived at the crease, while Ashen Silva crawled along towards 50 - a mark he eventually reached in 142 balls. England's spinners continued to toil without reward - though Panesar came close when Anderson spilt a deflected chance off Serasinghe at slip. Panesar eventually got his man for 31, spin finally yielding a wicket for England after 30 overs. Panesar added a second minutes later, sending Dilruwan Perera back for a duck with an lbw verdict. Finn then made it three wickets in 19 balls just before tea when he combined with Prior to end Ashen Silva's defiant stay for 66.
