England made Sri Lanka collapse to 29 for three at tea on the first day of the rain-marred third Test at the Rose Bowl here yesterday.

James Anderson marked his comeback to England duty by taking two wickets, while Chris Tremlett struck on the ground where he made his name with southern county Hampshire.

Mahela Jayawardene was three not out and Thilan Samaraweera nought not out in the first Test ever played at the ground. In the five overs possible between lunch and tea, England took two wickets for six runs.

Anderson's figures stood at two for 12 in nine overs, while Tremlett had an analysis of one for five in five.
