England need an unlikely 350 for victory on the final day of the first Test after Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara struck 152 to put his team in control.
Dropped by Ian Bell on 98, Sangakkara became the first man in Tests to hit four 150s in as many matches before Sri Lanka finally declared on 422-8.
England lost Alastair Cook early on as they reached stumps on 9-1.
First Test, Kandy: Sri Lanka 188 & 442-8d v England 281 & 9-1 (day four, stumps).
