England rebound on third day

Stubborn centuries from Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott helped England battle back on day three of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Cardiff.



After rain delayed play until 1400 BST, the early wicket of nightwatchman James Anderson united Cook and Trott at the crease at 47-2, still 353 runs behind.



But the pair showed patience initially and then exerted their authority.



Cook ended the day on 129 not out, with Trott unbeaten on 125 to leave England 287-2, trailing the tourists by 113.
